Bilberry

Vaccinium myrtillus | Eye Health · Circulation · Antioxidant Protection

Before there were blue light glasses and eye drop aisles at every pharmacy — there was bilberry. This small wild European berry has been used in traditional herbal medicine since the 16th century, and gained legendary status when British Royal Air Force pilots ate bilberry jam before night missions to support their vision in the dark. That story sparked decades of modern scientific research.

Bilberry contains some of the highest concentrations of anthocyanins found in any fruit on earth. These deep blue-purple pigments work specifically on the structures of the eye, capillary walls, and inflammatory pathways.*
