Bilberry supplement

Bilberry and Blueberry are two very different berries, although they are very similar. Bilberry in Dutch is (blue) blueberry. Blueberry is blueberry (without the "forest," that is). Bilberry contains about 6 times as many anthocyanins as the blueberry we know from the supermarket.

Anthocyanins are also often called anthocyanosides. Both names refer to the same substance from Bilberry.

Patented Mirtoselect® extract

Mirtoselect® from Italy's Indena is one of the best bilberry extracts. It contains a high concentration of the important anthocyanins.

These are specific polyphenols that have a positive effect on the blood vessels and especially the small blood vessels in the eyes.
