It has a long history of use as both a food and herbal medicine and is particularly valued for supporting \u003cstrong\u003eeye health, healthy circulation and the health of small blood vessels and capillaries\u003c\/strong\u003e. Bilberry has also traditionally been used for its gentle astringent action within the digestive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBilberries are particularly rich in naturally occurring plant pigments known as \u003cem\u003eanthocyanins\u003c\/em\u003e — the compounds responsible for their intense blue-purple colour. Unlike many other berries, Bilberry contains these pigments throughout both the skin and flesh of the fruit. Anthocyanins belong to the flavonoid family and act as natural antioxidants, helping protect cells and tissues from the everyday damage that occurs through normal body processes and environmental exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBilberry also has a traditional role within the digestive system.

This allows us to extract a broad spectrum of constituents from the berry rather than relying on powdered fruit or an isolated standardised compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter extraction, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures to help preserve the integrity of the berry’s delicate plant constituents. The concentrated extract is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, producing a premium-quality alcohol-free liquid extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBilberry\u003c\/strong\u003e has been valued for generations as both a nutritious berry and a traditional herbal medicine.
