ilberry has been used for centuries, both medicinally and as a food
in jams and pies. It is related to the blueberry and is native to
Northern Europe. Bilberry fruit contains chemicals known as
anthocyanosides, plant pigments that have excellent antioxidant
properties. They scavenge damaging particles in the body known as
free radicals, helping to prevent or reverse damage to cells.
Antioxidants have been shown to help prevent a number of long-term
illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and an eye disorder called
macular degeneration. Bilberry also contains vitamin C, which is
another antioxidant.
Not many studies have been done to examine bilberry specifically.
Even fewer studies have been done in humans. Most of the
suggestions about bilberry's effectiveness come from research on
similar antioxidants, or from test tube and animal studies.
Chronic venous insufficiency
Bilberry extracts are used in Europe to treat this condition, which
occurs when valves in veins in the legs that carry blood to the
heart are damaged. Some studies have reported improvements in
symptoms, but most of the studies were poorly designed.
Diabetes
Bilberry leaves have traditionally been used to control blood sugar
levels in people with diabetes. Animal studies suggest bilberry may
be effective, but no human studies have been done, so bilberry is
not recommended for this use.
Atherosclerosis
Animal studies have found that anthocyanosides may strengthen blood
vessels, improve circulation, and prevent the oxidation of LDL
("bad") cholesterol, a major risk factor for atherosclerosis
(plaque that blocks blood vessels, leading to heart attack and
stroke). Research in people is needed.
Diarrhea and wounds
Bilberry has been used in European medicine for nearly a thousand
years, primarily to treat diarrhea. The fruit contains tannins,
substances that act as both an anti-inflammatory and an astringent
(constricting and tightening tissues). Bilberry is believed to help
people with diarrhea by reducing intestinal inflammation. No
studies, however, have examined bilberry's use for diarrhea.
Vision
Anthocyanosides found in bilberry fruits may also be useful for
people with vision problems. During World War II, British fighter
pilots reported improved nighttime vision after eating bilberry
jam. Studies have shown mixed, mainly negative results, however.
Bilberry has also been suggested as a treatment for retinopathy
(damage to the retina) because anthocyanosides appear to help
protect the retina. Bilberry has also been suggested as treatment
to prevent cataracts. However, studies are lacking in both areas.
Plant Description: Bilberry is a perennial shrub that grows to
about *6 inches in height. It has sharp-edged, green branches and
black wrinkled berries, which are ripe for picking in late summer.
Bilberry is a relative of blueberry, cranberry, and huckleberry,
and its fruit looks and tastes much like the American
blueberry.
What's It Made Of?: The key compounds in bilberry fruit are called
anthocyanosides. These compounds help build strong blood vessels
and improve circulation to all areas of the body. They also prevent
blood platelets from clumping together (helping to reduce the risk
of blood clots), and they have antioxidant properties (preventing
or reducing damage to cells from free radicals). Anthocyanidins
boost the production of rhodopsin, a pigment that improves night
vision and helps the eye adapt to light changes.
Bilberry fruit is also rich in tannins, a substance that acts as an
astringent. The tannins have anti-inflammatory properties and may
help control diarrhea.
Available Forms: You may eat bilberries fresh or in dried forms,
and you can make bilberry tea using fresh or dried berries.
Bilberry extract should be standardized to contain *5%
anthocyanidin. The extract contains the highest percentage of
anthocyanosides, making it the strongest form of bilberry.
How to Take It: The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to
strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can
trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs,
supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take
herbs under the supervision of a health care provider.
Pediatric
Bilberry may be used in children 2 years of age and older for the
treatment of diarrhea, but only under the supervision of your
doctor.
Adult
-
General: *0 - **0 mg 2 times per day of standardized bilberry
extract (with *5% anthocyanidin)
-
Diarrhea: 5 - *0 g of crushed dried bilberries in **0 mL (2/3 of a
cup) cold water, brought to a boil for *0 minutes, then strained.
Only dried bilberry should be used for diarrhea. Do not use for
more than 4 days.
-
Eye conditions and circulation: *0 - **0 mg a day in 2 - 3 divided
doses of standardized bilberry extract (with *5% anthocyanidin) in
capsule form.
Precautions: Bilberry fruit and extract are considered generally
safe, with no known side effects. However, bilberry leaf and
extract should not be taken in large quantities over an extended
period of time because the tannins they contain may cause severe
weight loss, muscle spasms, and even death.
Possible Interactions: Anticoagulants (blood-thinning
medication) *- In theory, because the anthocyanosides
in bilberry may stop blood from clotting, there may be an increased
risk of bleeding if you take bilberry with blood-thinning
medication, including aspirin. The whole fruit may be safer in
these instances. Ask your doctor before taking bilberry if you take
blood-thinning medication.
Medication for diabetes *- Because bilberry
appears to lower blood sugar, it could make the effects of diabetes
medication stronger. Also, taking bilberry with other herbs that
also lower blood sugar may result in hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar). Herbs that also lower blood sugar include ginger, ginseng,
fenugreek, and garlic. Do not take bilberry if you take medications
for diabetes.
