Bilberry is a European berry shrub tht is related to the blueberry. It has medicinal properties. It is high in substances called flavonoids wch are found in many fruits, vegitables, grains, beans, peas and are particularly abundant in citrus fruits and berries. Flavonoids are chemicals technically known as polyphenols. Flavonoids have antioxidant and disease fighting properties. Antioxidants are substances that help cells in the body resist and repair damage. The bilberry flavonoids are called anthocyanosides. Bilberry flavonoids can increase certain enzymes and substances in the eyes that are crucial to good vision and eye function. Futhermore, anthocyanosides can increase circulation in the blood vessels in the eyes, and help these blood vessels repair and protect themselves. Anthocyanosides helps stabilize and protect a protein called collagen, which is a basic building block of veins, arteries, capilaries, and connective tissue. Particularly, anthocyanocides seem to work favourably in the tissues found in the retina, the back of the eye where major functions of vision take place. The retina is composed of millions of tiny nerve cells and blood vessels, which anthocyanosides can help support. Bilberry is a common treatment for many varieties of retinopathy, a disorder in which the intricate blood and nerve vessels in the retina are damaged. Retinopathy particularly affects people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and sickle cell anemia.

Many studies have documented bilberry's usefulness as a medicinal herb. One study demonstarted that bilberry extract used with vitamin E prevented the progression of cataracts in 40 of 50 patients with cataract formations. In animal studies, bilberry reduced and stabilized blood sugar levels. In an Italian study, bilberry's flavonoids lowered cholesterol levels in the blood and improved circulation.
