Bilberry Extract

Herb Supplement

InVite® Health’s Bilberry Extract is a healthy berry-based supplement option which provides nutritional support for eye health in a very unique manner. Bilberries and Bilberry Extract come from the same family of fruit as blueberries, but are smaller and have a more robust taste. Bilberry Extract and Bilberries are also known to be an excellent source of flavonoids, along with other healthy foods such as red and dark berries, citrus fruits, green tea, dark chocolate, and red wine.

This Northern European antioxidant berry (also known as Vaccinium Myrtillus) is related to the blueberry and provides nutritional support for eye health, eye circulation, night vision, visual stamina, and ocular sharpness. The bilberry has also been known to support colon health associated with occasional diarrhea. This powerful antioxidant in fruit form that is absorbed very well by the human body is highly beneficial for eye health.

Bilberries grow in very acidic, nutrient-poor soil and earth throughout both temperate and subarctic regions of the world. They are closely related to North American wild blueberries and huckleberries. One defining characteristic of bilberries is that they produce single or paired berries on the bush instead of clusters as the blueberry does. Bilberries are typically collected from forests and then eaten fresh or made into a variety of food dishes. In Europe, they are often made into delicious jams and the famous bilberry pie.

Bilberry extract is also a major component of our Macula Hx® and Macula Advanced Hx® formulas to round out your eye care needs.

Expert Discussion

Bilberry

Jerry Hickey is a pharmacist and radio personality and fills the esteemed role of Scientific Director and President of Invite Health. He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user’s maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Bilberry…

The other berry in here is bilberry which has many human clinical trials for vision health, many studies on bilberry for vision health. Recently, they took people with myopia. That’s nearsightedness. When they gave them bilberry, their eyes focused on things at different distances faster. People with myopia the curvature of their eyeball is off and they can only see things clearly when they're up close. When they gave them bilberry, things that were further away, they could see better and they could focus on them faster, so it really had an effect on their vision.

So, we’ve done upgrades recently on our eye health formula. We’ve made two changes in our eye vision formula. One of them is we put in capsules because of the older people were complaining they were having trouble swallowing tablets. So, for those people, we put it in capsules, so that’s the first revision we made; and the second one is we added a lot of this cassis berry which is the most powerful antioxidant that we know of as a fruit and it’s also absorbed well by humans so it’s not just in the test tube. Human clinical trials showed it’s absorbed well, and it goes to the eyes.
