A Thousand Year History
For a thousand years in Europe, bilberries were used in to promote health. Even when WWII pilots needed to have eagle vision, their doctors recommended they eat more bilberries. Bilberry’s antioxidants scavenge free radicals and are used for multiple age-related aging-eye disorders. The results of one clinical study suggest that long-term supplementation might be effective in protecting our eyesight as we age.

According to USDA studies, Wild Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity per serving, compared with more than 20 other fruits. Using the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) testing procedure, researcher Ronald Prior, Ph.D., found that a one-cup serving of wild blueberries had more total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than a serving of cranberries, strawberries, plums, raspberries and even cultivated blueberries.

James Joseph, Ph.D., and his team at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University first reported that a diet of blueberries may improve motor skills and support healthy memory, especially in older folks. USDA scientists concluded that eating wild blueberries and other antioxidant-rich foods helps prevent oxidative stress.
Support Cardiovascular Health
A blueberry-enriched diet may protect the heart according to scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and the National Institute on Aging. Wild blueberries have the potential to decrease oxidative stress and inflammation in blood vessels supporting cardiovascular health. A 2013 study published by researchers at Harvard School of Public health reported that eating anthocyanin-rich berries such as blueberries and strawberries may improve cardiovascular health in women.
Support Urinary Tract Health
Amy Howell, Ph.D. of Rutgers University Blueberry Cranberry Research Center showed that blueberries, like cranberries, contain compounds that help support urinary tract health.
Support GI & Immune Health
Maintaining healthy intestinal microflora is vital to gastrointestinal health and the immune system. Researchers from the University of Milan and the University of Maine, led by Dr. Stefano Vendrame, conducted clinical studies showing that regular consumption of a wild blueberry drink increases a type of beneficial bacteria called Bifidobacteria.
