Bilberry grows on a bush and looks closely like a blueberry. It is known to have antioxidant, diuretic, antiseptic, antiaging, and anticarcinogen effects. They have been linked to reduce inflammation, stress, and anxiety. While more studies need to be done, they may even help with night blindness, cataracts, and macular degeneration. The anthocyanosids found in bilberries may reduce retinal inflammation. These antioxidant properties help to prevent and reverse cell damage. Bilberries also contain vitamin c, another antioxidant property, making it an excellent source to help combat certain cancers.
