In modern times, it has been discovered that although antibiotics and vitamins have been extensively researched, they are unable to completely solve modern diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and other sub-health conditions that often occur, not to mention slowing ageing and prolonging life. Scientific research has shown that human life expectancy could reach 125 years if the free radical attack on cells is tackled. The discovery of anthocyanins offers a simple and effective way to combat ageing, as the body's antioxidant capacity is closely linked to longevity. Studies have shown that anthocyanins are 50 times more powerful than vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C in scavenging free radicals. Anthocyanins are 100% absorbed by the body and can be detected in the bloodstream within 20 minutes of ingestion and last for over 27 hours. Unlike other antioxidants, anthocyanins are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and directly protect the central nervous system.
Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, discovered the effects of anthocyanins when he was young and suffering from eye problems, sometimes feeling astringent and having difficulty seeing. He later found that the blue berries (blueberries), whose roots grow in the perennial frozen layer, had a miraculous effect on this, and Li Shizhen then ate them regularly. The Oroqen people are now a group of people with good eyesight, well adapted to a year-round hunting lifestyle. Li Shizhen included this good medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica, which has been handed down to the present day.
