Vaccinium myrtillus L. is a small edible berry which grows on small wiry shrubs on hilly terrains throughout Europe and Asia, privileging temperate and mildly-cold climates. More than 400 different species belong to the genus Vaccinium but V. myrtillus L. is definitely one of the most well-documented in scientific literature, since its traditional medicinal and therapeutic uses date back to the Middle Ages.
The reason why bilberry is such a popular functional food lies in its astonishing content of anthocyanins, a class of bioflavonoids naturally found in many vegetables and abundant in reddish fruits. Research has proven V. myrtillus L. contains higher amounts of anthocyanins than any other berry.
Anthocyanins are well renowned for their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, they are also effective to contrast age-related deficiencies, used in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases and venous insufficiency. As such, bilberry dry extract is commonly used in prevention and treatment of different conditions, mainly related to inflammation, hyperglycaemia, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and high oxidative stress.
