The anthocyanosides increase the production and integrity of collagen, a protein necessary to connective tissue. Collagen, which is also the most abundant protein in the body, maintains the integrity of tendons, bones, cartilage, and ligaments. Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease destroy collagen.
Bilberrys anthocyanosides have the remarkable ability to crosslink collagen fibres which reinforces the collagen matrix of connective tissue. Among their other benefits, bilberry anthocyanosides are powerful antioxidants which prevent free radical damage. Any substance that strengthens and increases the production of collagen and is a potent antioxidant will be useful in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. These exciting discoveries have profound implications for many ailments.
