Detailed description
The Bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus, a small blue-black fruit in the Ericaceae family, is native to temperate and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. It is renowned for its functional benefits and exceptional nutritional profile.
Bilberry fruit is rich in anthocyanins, the natural pigments responsible for its dark color and antioxidant properties. These compounds, combined with other polyphenols, flavonoids and phenolic acids, help protect cells against oxidative stress and promote optimal metabolic balance.
Traditionally, bilberry has been used to support eye health and improve blood circulation. It has also been studied for its beneficial effects on blood sugar management, thanks to its role in inhibiting the enzymes responsible for breaking down carbohydrates.
In addition, bilberry’s anthocyanins help reinforce natural defense mechanisms, making it a valuable ingredient in formulations aimed at general well-being.
