Bilberry: Information
Bilberry is a fruit-bearing shrub in the same family as blueberries, and is also known as European Blueberry. Like blueberries, bilberry is a good source of antioxidants such anthocyanoside flavonoids, and are used as supplement primarily for this reason.
Bilberry's Health Benefits
Bilberry is thought to benefit vision and is a folk remedy for improving night vision in particular. Although the eyes are known to be sensitive to free-radical damage, and would theoretically benefit from antioxidants, evidence for claims that bilberry improves vision are inconclusive.1

Use bilberry supplements as directed. Bilberry has very low toxicity.
Note: If using bilberry to improve vision, combine it with other eye-supportive nutrients like lutein, fish oil, vitamin A and vitamin C.
