The blueberry plant

The blueberry leaves contain 10% tannins, arbutozid small amounts of acid, chemical, myristic and palmitic ericolina, flavone derivatives, triterpene acids, tiarnină, minerals. Blueberry fruits contain 5-10% tannins such lectures, about 30% invert sugar. The main active components of bilberry fruit are anthocyanins, pigments dyes glycosidic nature, including the most representative are delfmidina, cianidina, petumidina and malvidina, various sugars and glycosides with a total of 15 other compounds. In addition to tannins and leucoantociani catechica nature, flavonoids, sugars, pecline, and organic acids (succinic, malic, citric, chemical), bilberry fruits contain minerals: potassium 50 mg%, calcium 10 mg%, phosphorus ing 8%, 8 mg% sulfur, manganese 6 mg%, chloride 5 mg%, 3 mg% manganese, iron 1 mg%.

Pharmacology

Adniinistrarea Oraios about cranberry preparations based functionality regulates blood microcirculation and rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles that control the flow of arterioles traversing Diter hematic citeulalotii areas.
They obtained good results in diabetic retinopathy sufferers because there was a request to reduce collagen synthesis in the retina and improvement of clinical symptoms. Another favorable action of cranberry is recorded in clinical venous insufficiency. Demonstrated action on edema, especially periomalcolare, catizate an abnormal capillary permeability.
Management products from local microcirculation reactivation produces blueberries, improving and venous flow, facilitating the removal of interstitial fluid and reducing edema.
