The overall health of your eyes is important to retain clear and accurate vision. Several factors such as smoking, diabetes, steroids, injuries and excessive exposure to pollution, sunlight or radiation all contribute to poor eyesight and failing vision. To maintain healthy vision, it is important to have adequate rest and the proper nutrition.

Bilberry benefits eyes through a variety of mechanisms. It enhances the supply of blood and oxygen to the eyes, strengthens the capillaries that feed the eye muscles and nerves, and works as an antioxidant to inhibit free radical damage. Bilberry may be helpful in preventing many vision disorders in the young and elderly alike. Research has also shown that Bilberry has great potential to alleviate degenerative eye disorders such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

Bilberry is recommended for those who spend long hours reading, doing detailed work, and looking at a computer or television screen. It also helps those who experience blurry vision, watery or tired eyes that ache and burn, and increased sensitivity to light.

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a small deciduous shrub that grows in northern Europe, Canada and the United States. It has long been used in Europe to improve eye health and vision. Research on Bilberry’s vision enhancing effects began after British pilots noticed improved night vision when they had eaten Bilberry jam prior to night flights during World War II. It is now regarded as the vision herb for its powerful effect on all types of visual disorders.

Anthocyanosides, the active compound in Bilberry, are potent antioxidant pigments. They have been shown to strengthen capillaries and support the biochemical reactions in the eyes that are responsible for healthy eyesight. Anthocyanosides enhance visual adaptation to light and help maintain normal night vision by speeding up the regeneration of rhodopsin - a purple pigment that helps eyes adapt to light and darkness. Studies have also shown that Bilberry affects enzymes responsible for energy production in the eyes, which is especially important for good vision under poor light conditions, including night vision.

What are the benefits of Ginkgo biloba and Lutein contained in Nn Bilberry Plus?
A well-researched antioxidant herb, Ginkgo biloba increases blood circulation and improves delivery of nutrients to the eyes and surrounding tissues. It’s also been shown to increase visual acuity and maintain healthy vision in later years. Lutein (xanthophyll), extracted from the marigold flower, is a vision-enhancing antioxidant. It provides nutritional sustenance to preserve eyesight and protect against light-sensitivity.

Is Bilberry Safe?
Bilberry is a safe food herb, commonly eaten as a jam in Europe, with no known toxicity. In recommended dosage, no side effects have been reported with Bilberry. It is best, however, to consult your doctor before taking Bilberry if you are on medications for heart problems, stroke or if you are on chemotherapy.

Can diabetics on oral medication or insulin take Bilberry?
Bilberry is widely used to prevent and treat diabetic retinopathy (non-inflammatory degeneration of retina). It protects and strengthens the blood vessels and capillaries in the eyes. Blood sugar levels, however, should be monitored regularly.
