Bilberry: Eye and circulatory support.

 

 

Bilberry, also known as Vaccinium myrtillus, is a small, dark berry native to Europe and closely related to the blueberry. Traditionally used for improving vision and circulation, bilberry is rich in anthocyanins—powerful antioxidants that support eye health and blood vessel function.

• Supports eye health and night vision
• Promotes healthy circulation and blood vessel strength
• Provides antioxidant protection against free radicals
• May help manage blood sugar levels

How to Use:
• Take 160–480mg of standardized bilberry extract daily (usually divided into 2–3 doses)
• Drink as a tea made from dried bilberries or leaves
• Eat fresh or dried bilberries as part of a balanced diet

Precautions:
• Consult with a healthcare professional before use if you are on blood thinners, diabetes medication, or have a bleeding disorder
• High doses may increase risk of bleeding
• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical guidance
• Use supplements from reputable sources to ensure purity and potency
