Blueberry Extract
60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00914

Blueberries rated highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals.55 Scientists have discovered mechanisms to explain how blueberries can improve memory and restore healthy neuronal function to aged brains.56-58

They also produce favorable results for cells of the central nervous system.59

The favorable effects of blueberries on brain function are analogous to those seen with long-term calorie restriction.60-62 Blueberry extracts that help maintain healthy endothelial function and an active component pterostilbene may help maintain a healthy LDL level and normal glucose levels that are already within the normal range.63-66*

The two most active constituents found in blueberries are anthocyanins and pterostilbene. Blueberry anthocyanins are considered one of nature’s most potent antioxidants. Pterostilbene is the other blueberry constituent that helps maintain healthy lipid and glucose levels that are already within healthy ranges.67 Through its unique biological effects and antioxidative potential, pterostilbene may help maintain healthy DNA structure.68-70

The ratio of extracts in Blueberry Extract Capsules is a combination of highly concentrated wild blueberry (not cultivated). These extracts are standardized to natural compounds that have the highest physiological activity for the health benefits associated with consumption of fresh blueberries. Blueberry Extract Capsules contain a whole fruit extract base to provide a broad spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients found in fresh wild blueberries.
