As important as bilberry has been in the eye health arena for years, it’s now playing second fiddle to its new sidekick � black currant.*�
Black currant contains some of the highest levels of anthocyanins found in nature -- 190-270 mg per 100 g -- literally blowing bilberry out of the water. Here’s why it rises above the rest:
- Black currant anthocyanins are absorbed in your plasma as well as in eye tissue.*
- 50 mg of black currant powder (9.3% anthocyanins) may help lead to a significant improvement in Dark Adaptation Threshold, a measure of visual fatigue.*
- The same black currant powder at 50 mg, or 200 mL of black currant juice, may also help significantly improve this measure.*
- Black currant extract appears to be effective at three different dosage levels of anthocyanins in helping to improve visual acuity* – but only the 50 mg dosage yielded statistically significant results in one study.*
Please take care of your eyes. Here are a few quick tips:
- When you're doing computer work, give your eyes a break every 20 minutes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Quit smoking
- Drink plenty of water
- Get plenty of sleep
- Maintain a healthy weight to avoid Diabetes
- Wear UVA and UVB blocking sunglasses
- Eat lots of dark green, red, orange and purple fruits and vegetables
- Get regular eye exams
Be well,
