About Bilberry Extract and Lutein
Contains Antioxidant Compounds which Help Maintain Capillary Strength and Micro-Vascular Integrity especially in capillaries such as those in the retina of the eyes.
Bilberry extract contains anthocyanosides (anthocyanidins) with visual and vascular enhancing properties. Bilberry reduces visual fatigue and improves light to dark adjustment through its affinity for the rhodopsin-opsin system, the pigment system which mediates both light and dark vision and visual adaptation to dimly lit spaces. In addition, the extract also potent antioxidant activity, promoting the retina's own enzymatic antioxidant defenses. In the vascular system the anthocyanidin extract supports the integrity of the vascular walls by increasing vitamin C levels within cells, decreasing the permeabilizing effect of certain proteolytic/lysosomal enzymes, stabilizing cell membranes, and stimulating the synthesis and connective ground substance tissue. Bilberry offers a safe and natural way to enhance the strength and function of the visual and vascular systems. Lutein Carotenoid is a potent antioxidants, protecting membrane lipids from toxic peroxidation reactions. Therefore it is important in the prevention of cataracts and macular degeneration Lutein has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.
Clinical Studies
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial of bilberry extract in 14 people with damage to the retina caused by diabetes and/or hypertension found significant improvements observable by ophthalmoscopic examination (looking in the eye with a machine) and angiography (examining the blood vessels).1
One double-blind trial combined bilberry with vitamin E.2 The combination slowed cataract growth.
Evidence suggests that people who eat foods containing lutein are less likely to develop cataracts and perhaps macular degeneration as well, the two most common causes of vision loss in adults.3-7
