The scandinavian wild blueberry is rich in anthocyanins, which give the berry its blue colour. Anthocyanins are among nature´s most powerful antioxidants. In addition blueberry contains organic acids, tannins, vitamin C, beta-carotene, mangan (Mn) and lutein.. In traditional Scandinavian medicine blueberry has been used for gastric problems, night-blindness, eczema and for improvement of memory function. Scandinavia experts recommend a daily intake of 30-70 grams of blueberry to provide a sufficient amount of anthocyanins for the eye. Blueberry extract is a strong blueberry product and two tablets provide 75mg of anthocyanins, witch is equivalent to 60-70 grams of freshly picked Swedish blueberry. Anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory as well as strong anti-oxidative actions and also lutein is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are of importance in the body to neutralize the dangerous free oxygen radicals. A number of age-related impairments in the body are due to the action of free oxygen radicals. Today, blueberry can therefore be recommended to retard the development and progress of age-related macula degeneration (an eye complaint related to old age). In addition, other substances of significance for the macula are the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene (present in blueberry), native vitamin E, zinc and the fatty acid omega-3. Lutein protects the eye by filtering dangerous UV-light and it also act as an effective antioxidant. Blueberry extract is a dietary supplement for general prevention of the development of age-related impairment. To strengthen this action, Blueberry extract can be combined with native vitamin E, zinc, vitamin C and omega 3.
