Bilberry also known as European Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus)
is a member of the genus Vaccinium, consisting of more than
200 species of berries like American Blueberry and Cranberry.

The main active ingredient in bilberries is a group of flavonoids
known as anthocyanosides. There are more than 15 different
anthocyanosides found in bilberry. The concentration of
anthocyanosides in fresh bilberry ranges from 0.1 to 0.25%,
versus 25% in standardised concentrated extract of Bilberry.

It was observed during the 2nd World War that British Royal Air
Force pilots reported improved visual ability in dimmed
environment after taking blue berries jam regularly. For
supplement the equivalent is 2 capsules 2-3 times daily taken at
regular interval. This formula is specially added with grape skin
extract a rich source of grape polyphenols to enhance the potency
of bilberry anthocyanosides.

Extensive studies confirms that Bilberry anthocyanoside extracts
are extremely safe. Rats administered doses as high as 400mg
per kg showed no apparent side effects and excess were quickly
excreted through urine and bile.
