A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition for maintaining eye health. In fact, a growing number of eye care professionals now recommend nutritional supplements to their patients.

Bilberry, otherwise known as the European blueberry, is a blue-black or purple berry that grows wild in the woods and forests of Europe. Bilberry promotes healthy circulation throughout the body – particularly to the small capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the eyes.

Bilberry's active constituents, its anthocyanosides, have a variety of protective effects for the eyes. These bioflavonoids strengthen the structural integrity of the tiny capillaries that deliver nutrients to the eyes, promote a balanced inflammatory response, and help prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures within the eye. Bilberry also maximizes the eye's ability to adapt to darkness, by helping accelerate the regeneration of retinal purple.

Over 30 years of scientific research and clinical studies add up to one indisputable fact: bilberry provides positive long-term nutritional support for healthy eye function.

Numerous scientific and clinical studies worldwide have shown bilberry can:

• Strengthen and protect the blood vessels that feed the eye
• Promote healthy capillaries and arteries in the eyes
• Provide potent antioxidant benefits
• Enhance night vision and help eyes adapt to darkness*
