A compelling anecdote dating back to World
War II confirms bilberry’s antioxidant properties in supporting
vision: British pilots reported improved night vision after
eating bilberries. The eyes are one of the most vascularized
organs in the body. Restricted blood flow and a lack of oxygen
supply to the eyes can result in conditions affecting eyesight.
The bilberry offered by OptiPure®, VmA25+®, is extracted
from Vaccinium myrtillus. Our state-of-the-art extraction process
delivers a guaranteed content of 25% anthocyanidins, the primary
active constituent in bilberry.
Researchers
have found anthocyanidins to improve vasodilatation, as well
as inhibit platelet aggregation and improve visual function,
including night vision. Anthocyanidins are potent antioxidants.
They support normal formation of connective tissue and strengthen
capillaries in the body. Anthocyanosides may improve capillary
and venous blood flow. Bilberry may also prevent blood vessel
thickening due to diabetes. Another added benefit of VmA25+®
is that it also contains other valuable plant compounds such
as tannins, flavone glycosides, and a bioflavonoid complex with
quercetin, making it a full-spectrum plant product.
