It is related to the blueberry and is native to Northern Europe. Bilberry has been used in European medicine for nearly a thousand years, primarily to treat diarrhea.* The fruit contains tannins, substances that act as both an anti-inflammatory and an astringent (constricting and tightening tissues).* Bilberry is believed to help people with diarrhea by reducing intestinal inflammation.* No studies, however, have examined bilberry's use for diarrhea. Bilberry fruit contains chemicals known as anthocyanosides, plant pigments that have excellent antioxidant properties.* They scavenge damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, helping to prevent or reverse damage to cells. Antioxidants have been shown to help prevent a number of long-term illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and an eye disorder called macular degeneration. Bilberry also contains vitamin C, which is another antioxidant.** Numerous human studies have shown that bilberry in standardized extract form of 25% anthocyanosides is effective in preventing diabetic retinopathy and improving visual acuity and retinal function.* † ** Source: University of Maryland at http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/bilberry-000225.htm. † Source: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center at http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69134.cfm. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
