What is blueberry extract?

Blueberry extract is a natural substance extracted from blueberry fruit, and it appears as a dark purple powder. Blueberry belongs to the genus Vaccinium of the Ericaceae family and is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere. Blueberry fruit contains rich active ingredients, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and other bioactive substances, and nutrients such as protein, amino acids, vitamins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, fructose, and minerals. Blueberry extract contains rich antioxidant raw materials, which can be widely used in food, medical and cosmetic fields.

Function:

1. Antioxidant: Anthocyanins in blueberry extract are excellent anti-oxidant raw material, with antioxidant properties fifty times higher than vitamin E and two hundred times higher than vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant capacity can eliminate free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage, thereby preventing a variety of free radical-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, aging and diabetes.
2. Improve vision: Anthocyanins are particularly beneficial to eye health, can enhance retinal blood circulation, improve the eye's ability to adapt to light, relieve eye fatigue, prevent vision loss, and have a positive effect on preventing blindness, glaucoma, cataracts and other eye problems.
3. Promote cardiovascular health: Polyphenols in blueberry extract help lower the level of bad cholesterol in the blood, prevent atherosclerosis, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and strengthen myocardial blood vessels, coronary arteries and kidney blood vessels to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system.

As a natural pigment, it is widely used in beverages, ice cream, cakes and other foods, not only adding an attractive blue-purple color, but also increasing the added value and shelf life of the product.
2. Health care material: Blueberry extract is made into capsules, tablets, oral liquids and other forms of health care products, designed to help people resist free radical damage, prevent chronic diseases, improve visual fatigue, and enhance immunity. For middle-aged and elderly people and mental workers, blueberry extract is the best choice for improving memory and cognitive ability.
3. Cosmetics materials: The antioxidant properties of blueberry extract make it an important ingredient in anti-aging, whitening, moisturizing and other skin care products.
