The leaves and the fruits of the Bilberry contain blood sugar lowering compounds (glucoquinones) and chromium and are rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoid antioxidants, contributing to better blood sugar control in diabetes, better vision, and improved circulation.

Further research studies indicate that a compound in bilberries, anthocyanosides, appear to promote blood vessel strength which could have protective properties against forms of retinal damage in people with diabetes.

The following benefits have been observed from research studies into bilberries, bilberry extract or anthocyanosides:

• Strengthens blood vessels
• Improves circulation
• Help to stop diarrhoea
• Prevent cell damage
• Could help in treating retinopathy
