What About Bilberry Supplements?
Bilberry supplements are also widely marketed.
This is where caution becomes especially important.
Supplements can contain concentrated extracts that are very different from simply eating the fruit.
Products can also vary considerably in:
- Dosage
- Extract concentration
- Ingredient quality
- Purity
- Manufacturing standards

Anyone taking medication or managing a medical condition should speak with a healthcare professional before using concentrated herbal or fruit extracts.
