Wild blueberry powder (Sweden) x Bulk buys

The fruits of the Vaccinium myrtillus (Wild blueberry/bilberry) are highly prized for their high content of bioactive secondary metabolites, and ample research into their beneficial effects on health has highlighted the importance of four groups of polyphenolic phytochemicals, namely hydroxycinnamic acid esters, flavonols, proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins. Wild blueberries of the vaccinium myrtillus variety contains large quantities of polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, in the skin and flesh. 15 different anthocyanins have been identified. Anthocyanins are known for their ability to chelate metals. (Chelate means "to bind to" metal ions).

Scientific studies, such as cell culture studies and human clinical trials, show that anthocyanidins and anthocyanins have antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, improve visual and neurological health and protect against various non-communicable diseases. These studies attribute health effects to anthocyanidins and anthocyanins to their powerful antioxidant properties. Various mechanisms and pathways are involved in these protective effects, including the scavenging of free radicals.
