Sometimes referred to as the European blueberry, wild bilberries have been used in traditional European medicine for over one thousand years.

These major components may be responsible for bilberries powerful antioxidant activity and may support a healthy inflammation response.

The flavonoid compounds found in raw bilberries, called anthocyanins are plant pigments which have amazing anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and possible healing qualities. Anthocyanin have been shown to combat free radicals in the body, support healthy capillaries and support circulatory health. Bilberries are smaller than blueberries and their pigment is evenly distributed throughout the skin and flesh of the skin, unlike blueberries where the main amount of pigment resides in the skin of the berry. The anthocyanins found in this berry may support the body’s ability to reduce the formation of blood clots. It has even been known to support the body’s ability to reduce damage of blood vessel deterioration and the degradation of blood platelets due to its ability to restore tissue connectivity. Bilberries may possibly support vascular and arterial health.

Historically wild bilberries have been used to support healthy night vision. British Royal Air Force pilots were known to eat bilberry preserve during World War II to help them see clearly during night missions. Daily use may support healthy visual acuity and can support a person’s eyes to adjust during the dark of night as well as the glare of bright daylight due to the protection of rhodopsin or retinal purple in the eye.

The quality of the starting material is an essential prerequisite,since it may affect all the subsequent phases. Hence GMPs are applied already from these early steps to guarantee the characteristics of the final product. At this stage,there are a number of measures we employ:

√ supplier inspection and qualification

√ area selection

√ control of:

– harvesting period and harvesting method

– drying conditions

– storage

√ botanical identification of the fruit

√ quarantine of the biomass under monitored conditions

√ microbiological analysis

√ chemical analysis

√ control of contaminants, including:

– pesticides

– aflatoxins

– heavy metals

Only after all of these controls will the raw material be released for further processing or rejected due to non conformance with our strict requirements.
