10 Health Benefits of Bilberries

10. Improve Liver and Kidney Function

When your liver contains too much nitric acid, damage can occur. The excess also prohibits the liver from extracting toxins. Fortunately, the inhibitory and free radical-balancing activity of bilberry extract enables the liver to function at a higher level. Bilberry also helps regulate the level of several chemicals in your kidneys, including creatinine, serum, blood, urea, nitrogen, and nitric oxide. It boosts the organ's ability to eliminate heavy metals -- toxins -- from the bloodstream.
