A Vogel Bilberry Tincture

Good nutrition is important in maintaining the health of the eyes. A shortage of vitamin A may lead to poor vision, as this vitamin is essential in the formation of the retinal pigments responsible for vision. It has a protective effect (by virtue of its antioxidant activity) on the eye surfaces and retinal tissues, which are susceptible to damage by free radicals, produced through normal metabolic processes and sunlight. Bilberry contains the antioxidant vitamins A and C, known to reduce the risk of cataracts. One study has reported that the progression of cataract formation was halted in 97% of patients treated with a mixture of Bilberry and vitamin E. The flavonoids present in the herb have been shown to improve the function of the retina, improving night vision. In addition, this group of compounds has also been shown to possess hypoglycaemic action. Bilberry is a small shrub that grows abundantly in mountainous districts. The leaves resemble those of the myrtle, hence its Latin name of Vaccinium myrtillus. The leafy stems are used in this tincture. What is it used for? - Eye strain, e.g. computer operators, drivers - Improving vision - Protection against eye disorders
