Bilberry Extract Benefits:

1. They lower inflammation

Bilberry Extract are believed to fight inflammation, says Jamie Bacharach, DiplAc, a licensed herbal medicine practitioner and acupuncturist at the Acupuncture Jerusalem Clinic. This is likely thanks to their high concentration of s, aka compounds that fight inflammatory damage from free radical compounds. One small study found that taking 300 milligrams of anthocyanins—plant compounds with properties—extracted from bilberries and black currants over a three-week period helped reduce levels of several inflammatory biomarkers.

2. They can support cardiovascular health

Since bilberry fruit extract are rich in s, they also may support heart health. “They offer polyphenol anthocyanins, phytochemicals that provide the rich blue color, but also are linked to improved inflammatory responses," says Jones. Those compounds may also prevent blood clotting, as well as help lower blood pressure, adds Bacharach—which not only promotes heart health but also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. "However, [bilberries] are most often consumed as an extract in supplement form, which increases potency of the s," Jones says—meaning that just eating the straight berries might not be as protective.

3. They might help with diabetes management

Some preliminary studies imply bilberry extract could benefit people with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (although more research is needed), likely because the s help reduce inflammation associated with the disease. “Bilberries have been shown to reduce blood sugar while stimulating insulin secretion, thereby proving useful for diabetics,” Bacharach adds.

4. They can support immune system health

Due to the content and vitamin C content of bilberry fruit extract, they can help keep your immune system in tip-top shape. “Bilberry may also have benefits. In general, the high anthocyanin content is its largest benefit, as these compounds aid in systems to protect the body's cells from stress,” Jones says. And stress can have huge impacts on your body's ability to fight off sickness.

5. Bilberries are good for your eyes

Bilberry Extract can support eye health and aid in ocular circulation. Specifically, “bilberry fruit extract have been found to improve the vision of glaucoma patients, in addition to proving capable of reducing eye strain,” says Bacharach.
