Botanic Choice Liquid Extract, Bilberry, 1 Fluid Ounce
Fights Free RadicalsRelated to the blueberry, cranberry and huckleberry found in North America, bilberry is a perennial shrub that reaches heights of about 16 inches. With sharp-edged, green branches, the plant produces black berries in late summer. Native to Northern Europe and Great Britain, bilberries are borne singly vs. in clusters like its American blueberry cousin. Bilberries contain anthocyanosides, a good source of antioxidants that work to scavenge free radicals. These compounds are thought to help build strong blood vessels and support circulation to all areas of the body, including the eyes. Anthocyanosides appear to help maintain the healthy production of rhodopsin, a pigment that supports night vision and adjustments to light changes. Bilberry also contains naturally occurring trace amounts of Vitamin C, yet another antioxidant that works to keep you healthy.
