Eye Care Berries from Northern Europe

Fruits contain various natural pigments, which not only bring visual feast to people, but also add points to human health

European bilberry is dark in color and has a very strong tinting strength, mainly due to its high content of anthocyanins, which are more than four times that of blueberries

Anthocyanins are flavonoid polyphenol pigments present in plants that give plants their reddish-orange to blue-violet color

The value of anthocyanins and other dietary bioactive compounds lies in their potential to promote the maintenance of health

Absorption of anthocyanins depends on many factors, including chemical structure, food properties, interactions with other nutrients, type and extent of food processing, and individual nutrition

Bilberry is one of the most anthocyanin-rich fruits, more than blackcurrants, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries and other fruits

Italian company Indena has been developing standardized European bilberry extract since 1970 and is the original manufacturer of European bilberry extract

Scientific studies have confirmed that Mirtoselect can indeed improve vision

The benefits of anthocyanins on human health are gradually being recognized by the public, and they have been incorporated into the mainstream supplement channels of functional foods, dietary supplements and nutritional health foods
