Blueberry extract 120:1 for your daily routine
Blueberry extract (120:1) 175mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made with vitamins and blueberry fruit extract, obtained from Vaccinium uliginosum, a wild lowbush variety especially interesting for its natural polyphenol profile.
We developed this formula for those looking for a convenient, concentrated, and well-defined way to add the characteristic compounds of blueberry to their routine. We offer a concentrated extract in vegetable capsules, easy to take and with a transparent composition.
A plant-based, concentrated, and standardized formula designed for those who want to take care of every detail of what they consume daily.
Blueberry is a highly valued berry for its natural content of phenolic compounds, especially proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins. These compounds are part of the fruit’s phytochemical profile and are one of the main reasons why blueberry has become such a popular ingredient in daily supplement routines.
Our formula goes a step beyond powdered blueberry or generic extracts: we use a 120:1 extract, standardized and enriched with vitamins C, B1, and B5, to offer a carefully crafted, clear, and easy-to-integrate composition for your day-to-day.
What makes our formula special?
The key to this product is its concentration. The blueberry extract we use has an extraction ratio of 120:1, meaning it’s 120 times more concentrated compared to the starting fruit.
This concentration allows for a practical formula. With a standardized extract, we achieve a more defined, consistent, and convenient composition.
Also, we don’t just say “blueberry extract.” We clearly specify the main plant markers of the formula:
- 76.5% proanthocyanidins, phenolic compounds characteristic of various berries and plant extracts.
- 12.5% proanthocyanidin B2, a specific marker within the proanthocyanidin group.
- 13% anthocyanins, natural pigments linked to the blue, purple, and reddish tones of many fruits in the Vaccinium genus.
This standardization is one of the product’s great values: it lets you know exactly what the formula provides, makes it easier to compare with other extracts, and gives confidence to those looking for supplements with clear information.
Not all blueberry extracts are the same. Botanical species, part used, extraction ratio, and standardization are key factors to assess quality.
In this case, we use fruit from Vaccinium uliginosum, a wild lowbush blueberry variety. Compared to simpler formats, our formula covers what a demanding user values most: defined plant origin, high extraction ratio, guaranteed markers, and a practical format in vegetable capsules.
To reinforce extract quality, standardization focuses on markers especially representative of blueberry. Proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins can be analyzed using advanced control techniques, like specific methods for PACs and chromatography for anthocyanin profiles, allowing us to work with a more precise, stable, and technically appealing extract.
With vitamins C, B1, and B5: much more than just an extract
We completed the formula with vitamins C, B1, and B5 to add nutritional value and make the product fit even better into a daily routine.
- The vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. It also supports normal energy metabolism, normal psychological function, normal immune system function, and protects cells from oxidative damage. Plus, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- The vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal psychological function, and normal heart function.
- Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D, and some neurotransmitters. It also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and supports normal intellectual performance.
Concentrated blueberry, guaranteed polyphenols, and selected vitamins: a simple, complete combo that’s super easy to add to your daily routine.
We balanced the formula to keep the focus on blueberry extract, accompanied by micronutrients that nicely round out the product’s profile.
Who do we recommend it for?
This extract is designed for people looking for a plant-based, convenient formula with a very well-defined composition. It’s a great option for those who already know blueberry and want it in a more concentrated format than the conventional fruit, but also for users new to plant extracts who want to start with an easy-to-understand formula.
It’s also a great choice for those who value the polyphenols naturally present in berries, especially proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins. These compounds are a big part of blueberry’s appeal and are guaranteed in our formula through clear standardization.
If you’re the type to check the label before buying, this product fits you too: we specify botanical species, part used, extraction ratio, percentage of characteristic compounds, amount per serving, fruit equivalence, ingredients, and added vitamins. Transparency from the first glance.
Plus, since it comes in vegetable capsules, it’s convenient for those who don’t want to deal with the fruit’s acidic taste, juices, liquid preparations, or formats with added sugars. Our formula is vegan-friendly and easily fits into any routine.
You might be especially interested if you’re looking for:
- A concentrated plant extract that’s easy to take.
- A formula with wild lowbush blueberry variety.
- A defined supply of proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins.
- A dietary supplement with vitamins C, B1, and B5.
- A vegan, practical option without acidic taste.
- A product with clear info to compare quality and composition.
Extract, fruit, or juice: why choose this formula?
Blueberry can be consumed fresh, as juice, powder, or extract. Each format has its place, but when you want concentration, convenience, and composition control, standardized extract offers a clear advantage.
Fresh fruit is a great option within a varied diet, but its content of plant compounds can vary depending on variety, ripeness, storage, and origin. Also, it’s not always easy to maintain a consistent intake or reach high amounts of fruit practically.
Juices and liquid preparations can be delicious, but often include sugars, sweeteners, or a less defined amount of characteristic compounds. They also tend to depend more on flavor, volume, and preservation once opened.
Our 120:1 blueberry extract offers a more precise supplement: in convenient vegetable capsules, we provide the equivalent of a large amount of natural blueberry fruit, along with specific standardization in proanthocyanidins, proanthocyanidin B2, and anthocyanins.
That’s why it’s a particularly convenient formula for those who want to keep a simple routine, without complications and knowing exactly what they’re taking.
How to take it and how to combine it
The recommended way appears on the package instructions. It’s an easy format to add to your routine, whether in the morning or another time of day that suits you.
Thanks to its profile, this extract pairs well with other dietary supplements aimed at daily care. It can be integrated into routines with omega-3, coenzyme Q10, specific vitamins, mineral formulas, or antioxidant supplements. It can also be combined with other plant extracts like turmeric.
If you want a simple routine, it can work great as the main product in a daily wellness plan. If you prefer a more complete routine, you can combine it with other EssentialSeries basics according to your needs and preferences.
Our advice: use it consistently, within a varied and balanced diet, and combine it with a healthy routine that’s easy for you to maintain over time.
