What is the Bilberry?


The bilberry, a close relative to the blueberry (as you can tell in the photo), has impressive antioxidant properties and is historically linked to eye health. Studies indicate that bilberry, with its abundance of antioxidants, may also be effetive in protecting the body against carcinogens and free radicals. Some of its nutritional highlights include:

Flavonoids
• Anthocyanins
• Resveratol

The bilberry can help with:

• Eye Problems
• Arthritis
• Heart Attack and Stroke
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Diarrhea and dysentery

A study done in Canada in 2006, found that the bilberry can help and may be able to prevent and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases (like Parkinson's), mainly due to its antioxidant powers.

If you need help with any of the issues listed above, a great way to get that help is through a premier antioxidant fruit drink, which many people have come to love and enjoy.
