Bilberry extract has become one of the most widely used supplements in the world for maintaining normal vision, improving micro circulation in the eye, and relieving tired eyes due to a number of studies that have demonstrated the powerful antioxidant action of anthocyanosides in this supplement.
What benefits are Associated with Bilberry Extract?
Bilberry extract supplements (Vaccinium myrtillus fructus) and the antioxidant bioflavonoids (anthocyanosides) in bilberry help:
