Description
Solgar Bilberry Berry Extract with Blueberry is a food supplement supplied in a pack of 60 vegetable capsules, combining blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) berry powder with a standardised bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) berry extract (25% anthocyanidins). It's formulated in a vegetable capsule shell, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Key Features
- Standardised bilberry extract: The bilberry extract is standardised to 25% anthocyanidins, so each capsule provides a consistent, measured level of these naturally occurring plant compounds.
- Two complementary berry sources: Combines blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) berry powder with bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) berry extract in one capsule.
- Vegan and vegetarian friendly: The capsule shell is made from vegetable cellulose (HPMC) rather than gelatin.
- Two-month supply per pack: At the recommended dose of one capsule a day, a pack of 60 capsules lasts around two months.
What does "25% anthocyanidins" mean?
It means the bilberry extract is standardised so that anthocyanidins, naturally occurring compounds found in bilberries, always make up 25% of the extract. This ensures a consistent amount in every capsule, rather than a variable amount that depends on the natural berry batch.
What's the difference between bilberry and blueberry?
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) are related but distinct species within the same plant family. This product combines a standardised bilberry extract with blueberry berry powder in a single capsule.
Does this product contain sugar?
