Wild Blueberry Powder

The core benefits of blueberry extract stem from its high concentration of bioactive compounds, particularly in antioxidant, eye protection, and cardiovascular health. Anthocyanins, as primary antioxidants, effectively neutralize free radicals, with a scavenging efficiency 200 times that of vitamin C, delaying cellular oxidative damage and reducing the risk of chronic inflammation. Clinical studies have shown that consuming 150mg of blueberry extract (equivalent to approximately 100g of fresh fruit) daily for eight weeks can reduce arterial stiffness by 6.5% and improve endothelial function. This effect is closely related to its mechanism of promoting nitric oxide release and improving vascular elasticity. In the field of eye care, the anthocyanins in the extract can accelerate retinal rhodopsin regeneration, relieve visual fatigue, and filter blue light, playing a significant role in preventing age-related macular degeneration. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties can help improve arthritis symptoms by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. Notably, the cognitive benefits of blueberry extract are particularly pronounced in the elderly.
