Bilberry Extract

Sinónimos: Bilberry Extract, Vaccinium myrtillus extract, Bilberry fruit extract, European blueberry extract, Anthocyanoside extract, Myrtocyan.

Bilberry extract delivers a concentrated profile of anthocyanosides—primarily cyanidin, delphinidin, and malvidin glycosides—that give the fruit its deep blue-purple color and much of its biological activity. These flavonoid pigments are potent antioxidants, capable of scavenging free radicals and supporting vascular integrity.

Derived from the ripe fruits of Vaccinium myrtillus L., a low-growing shrub native to the cool forests of Europe, bilberry has a long history in traditional European medicine, particularly for eye health. Modern extraction yields a standardized powder that concentrates the anthocyanoside content far beyond that of the fresh fruit, making it practical for use in dietary supplements and functional foods.

With growing consumer interest in vision support and antioxidant protection, bilberry extract has become a staple in the nutraceutical industry. It is also explored in research for its potential roles in capillary health, blood sugar balance, and cognitive function.

Estructura química y propiedades

Anthocyanosides are glycosylated polyhydroxy flavylium salts. Their antioxidant capacity arises from the phenolic hydroxyl groups, which donate hydrogen atoms to neutralize free radicals. The extract is water-soluble and typically standardized to 25% anthocyanosides, though higher concentrations (36%) are available. It appears as a fine, free-flowing powder that is stable under proper storage conditions.

Mecanismo de acción

• Antioxidant defense: Scavenges reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress in ocular and vascular tissues.
• Capillary protection: Stabilizes collagen in capillary walls, reducing permeability and supporting microcirculation.
• Visual cycle support: Accelerates rhodopsin regeneration, which may improve dark adaptation.
• Anti-inflammatory modulation: Inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators, contributing to overall cellular health.
