CyanthOx™ may be 5 times more effective than bilberry anthocyanins extract

Design: Randomised, controlled trial was conducted in 40 healthy rabbits weighing from 2.5 to 3.0kg. The rabbits were exposed to light at 18,000lx for 2 hours.

Method and Material: Oral intake of 500mg 41.0% bilberry anthocyanins (BAE) /kg/day for 14 days before exposure and 7 days after exposure.

Result: 500mg 41% bilberry anthocyanins shows similar effects as 100mg 38.9% sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins.

  • Same level of reduction in Outer Nuclear Layer (ONL) thickness

  • 9% more Improvement in photopic electroretinogram functions

  • Similar Improvement in scotopic and max electroretinogram functions
