Bilberry Extract Powder

1. Antioxidant effect: Blueberry anthocyanin is a natural water-soluble free radical scavenger, and its antioxidant capacity is 20 times that of VC and 50 times that of VE. Blueberry anthocyanin has the ability to resist lipid peroxidation, reducing ability, and the ability to scavenge superoxide anion free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals. Blueberry pomace flavonoids have strong antioxidant capacity, especially the antioxidant capacity of purified flavonoids is enhanced. The scavenging capacity of blueberry pomace total phenols for DPPH is 26.7mgVc/g fresh weight. The scavenging capacity for oxygen free radicals is 24.8mgVc/g fresh weight. Blueberry polysaccharides have strong scavenging capacity for oxygen free radicals and DPPH.
2. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects: It can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria. Studies have shown that blueberry extract has an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and adding an appropriate concentration of blueberry extract to fermented milk can promote the in vitro growth of the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus. Wang Jing et al.'s research confirmed that blueberry anthocyanins can increase the pain threshold of mice, inhibit ear swelling, and have obvious analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
3. Protect vision: prevent blindness, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal hemorrhage, improve myopia, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pigmentary retinitis and night blindness. The retina is located in a high-oxygen environment and is susceptible to oxidative damage by long-term visible light exposure. Blueberries contain a variety of bioactive ingredients and have the effect of protecting vision. Meng Xianjun et al.'s research showed that blueberry anthocyanins can make the chemical book structure of the retina of light-damaged rats clear and the cells arranged neatly; effectively prevent the thinning of the outer nuclear layer of the retina and the reduction of the total protein content of the retina; significantly increase the SOD and GSH-Px activity of retinal cells and reduce the MDA content. Blueberry anthocyanins have a significant protective effect on retinal damage in rats.
4. Cerebrovascular: Strengthen cerebral blood vessels, prevent cerebrovascular lesions, strengthen myocardial blood vessels, strengthen coronary arteries, strengthen renal blood vessels, and prevent rupture of glomerular capillaries and hematuria, urethritis and cystitis. Strengthens veins, prevents varicose veins, and prevents ulcers. Prevents arteriosclerosis; prevents the formation of blood clots.
5. Capillaries: Increases the flexibility of capillaries, which can promote blood vessel expansion and elasticity, and prevent blood vessel rupture. Bilberry can strengthen the capillaries in the eyes, and of course it can also strengthen the capillaries in other organs and tissues of the body, to prevent vascular diseases in various organs. In addition, blueberry extracts also have the effects of preventing cardiovascular diseases, inhibiting obesity, improving diabetes, and preventing osteoporosis.
