Top 3 in Top 5 Health Benefits of Bilberries
Inflammation, which is thought to be the underlying cause of many diseases, may be combated by bilberries. Anthocyanins, which are antioxidants with anti-inflammatory characteristics, may have a role in this impact. In 3-week research, participants who took a supplement daily containing 300 mg of bilberry anthocyanins saw a 38–60% decrease in inflammatory markers, compared to a 4-6% decrease in the placebo group.
Additionally, a short 4-week trial found that, in comparison to a placebo, consuming 11 ounces (330 ml) of bilberry juice daily dramatically decreased inflammation indicators. Anthocyanins, which are antioxidants and are abundant in bilberries, may lower inflammation-related biomarkers.
