Bilberries or blueberries are the flowering plants of Ericaceae Vaccinium. They
mainly grow in Europe, Russia, North America and the Alps. There are more than
400 kinds of blueberries in the world and over 200 kinds in China. Their fruits
have rich nutrition. Praised as golden berries, blueberries are regarded as one
of the five major healthy foods for human beings by Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations, FAO. They are regarded as magic berries by
Prevention, American most influential magazine. According to the statistics of
American Tufts University, among the 60 vegetables and fruits with the
antioxidant effect, blueberries rank the first. OPC (Oligomeric Proantho
Cyanidins), Organogermanium, Organic Selenium, Arbutin, amino acid, tartaric
acid and other special nutrition contained in blueberries are incomparable.
Especially blueberries' OPC, composed of 16 Bioflavonoids, have a superior
physical activity to OPC contained in general plants.

The related research proved that OPC contained in blueberries have a
comparatively strong antioxidant effect. Eating blueberries for a long time can
help clear the toxic chemicals and free radicals in retina; promote the
generation of retinal anthapurpurin; improve the night vision capability; help
eyes adapt the change of strong and weak light; maintain eyesight; strengthen
capillary; improve the blood circulation; decrease the viscosity of blood
platelets; prevent blood clots; strengthen the heart and brain function.

Among all the oligomeric proantho cyanidins (OPC) in plants, bilberry extract
has best effects, widest applications, lowest side effects, and also the highest
price. In the global market, the price of bilberry extract (OPC 25%) is several
times the price of grape seed extract (OPC 95%), reflecting the superiorities of
bilberry extract

In Chinese market, bilberry extract is divided into European bilberry extract
and Chinese bilberry extract, which have both adopted the European
pharmaceutical product standard (OPC 25%). A few enterprises also produce other
bilberry extract products (OPC 10% and 15%).

As it has more OPC categories (15 or more), the clinical effects of European
bilberry extract are better than Chinese bilberry extract (3 - 5 OPC categories)
and the price is several times that of Chinese bilberry extract

At present, raw materials of Chinese bilberries are imported and home-made.
Imported bilberries are produced in Finland, Sweden in Northern Europe and
Russia. The prices are between 3,000 EUR/ton and 4,000 EUR/ton. Home-made raw
materials are produced in Northeast China and Shaanxi. The purchasing prices of
fresh fruits are between 1,500 RMB/ton and 18,000 RMB/ton and the prices
fluctuate based on the supply and demand situations yearly. Chinese domestic raw
materials come from wild bilberries gathered artificially and few people plant
bilberries in China. Vaccinium uliginosum and vaccinium vitis-idaea are
concentrated in forests of Great Xing'an Mountains in Northeast China,
accounting for 80% to 90% of Chinese total bilberry outputs.

Chinese bilberry extract products are produced in abundance. Some enterprises
extract and process Chinese home-made bilberries; some enterprises directly
import raw materials to process; and other enterprises produce both. Generally,
those enterprises with production capacities of plant extracts can produce
bilberry extract, but requirements on producing European bilberry extract are
quite strict.

In 2008, the outputs of Chinese bilberry extract were about 60 tons, 95% of
which were exported.

As a plant extract, bilberry extract was developed quite late. But the growth
rate is higher than the entire growth rate of the global plant extracts. In
2004, the global demands for bilberry extract reached about 600 tons and in
2007, the demands reached about 1,000 tons. Bilberry extract has been widely
used in oral eye health products (capsules, tablets, etc) in America, the EU,
Japan and other countries. Korea has launched bilberry extract cosmetics.

Currently, Chinese commercial development of bilberry extract is focused on
bilberry capsules and bilberry drinks. Bilberry capsules are mainly for
protecting eyes and they are regarded as the best natural healthy care products
for curing teenager pseudomyopia and relieving visual fatigue because of
chronically working on computers. Bilberry drinks are focused on high-end
markets. They not only have excellent nutrition healthy care functions, but also
can prevent aging of cranial nerves, strengthen the heart, resist cancers and
soften veins, enhance the immunologic function and treat urinary infections.
Bilberry drinks are viewed as high-class drinks with nutrition and health care
functions.
