About this ingredient
Ingredients
Bilberry Extract is derived from the berries of Vaccinium myrtillus, a European berry rich in naturally occurring anthocyanins, flavonoids, and other polyphenolic compounds. Supplement formulas may use standardized bilberry fruit extract or powdered bilberry. The exact extract ratio, anthocyanin concentration, serving size, and additional ingredients vary by product.
Bilberry Extract comes from the fruit of Vaccinium myrtillus, a small dark-blue berry traditionally used as a botanical food and herbal ingredient. Bilberries naturally contain anthocyanins, flavonoids, and other antioxidant compounds that contribute to their nutritional profile.
Bilberry extracts are commonly included in dietary supplements focused on antioxidant, eye, and general wellness nutrition. Products may be available as capsules, tablets, powders, or combined formulas. The concentration of anthocyanins can differ significantly between products, so it is useful to check the botanical name, extract ratio, standardization, serving size, and other ingredients on the label.
