Blueberry Extracts Complex - Take Care
Blueberry Extracts Complex from EssentialSeries is a food supplement developed from an exclusive blend of natural extracts of Vaccinium uliginosum (blueberry) and Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry), carefully selected for their unique nutritional profile and high concentration.
Both berries are known for their richness in anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. We designed this formula to offer natural support for overall well-being and as an important antioxidant boost. The Vaccinium uliginosum extract is standardized to 76.5% proanthocyanidins, 13% anthocyanins, and 12.5% proanthocyanidin B2, while the Vaccinium myrtillus extract is standardized to 35% anthocyanins and 25% anthocyanidins. This level of concentration has made our formula a benchmark in the antioxidant category of the food supplement market.
An ideal choice for those looking for comprehensive antioxidant care, with raw materials of the highest quality, purity, and concentration.
What this Complex is for
As a food supplement, we designed Blueberry Extracts Complex to provide broad-spectrum natural antioxidant support, suitable for both athletes and people wanting to take care of their general health. The extracts of Vaccinium uliginosum and Vaccinium myrtillus offer a high concentration of anthocyanins (and derivatives) with multiple recognized nutritional properties:
- Contributes to the normal metabolism of fatty acids, lipids, and proteins.
- May help maintain eye health thanks to its antioxidant and vascular effects. Antioxidants protect against free radicals and are beneficial when it comes to food.
- Supports visual sharpness and retinal function.
Its advanced antioxidant profile makes it a natural ally especially useful during periods of high physical or mental effort.

Don’t know the benefits of blueberries?
Blueberries belong to the Vaccinium genus, a family of small berries that grow in cold regions of the northern hemisphere. For centuries, they have been used both in traditional diets and plant-based food supplements, especially in Nordic countries, where wild blueberry consumption is popularly linked to well-being.
Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) is historically known in Europe for its traditional use in maintaining pilots’ night vision during World War II. Meanwhile, Vaccinium uliginosum (blueberry) has been used by northern European and Asian communities as a concentrated source of natural antioxidants to support the population’s nutrition.
Although both species belong to the same genus, they have unique nuances: blueberry stands out for its high proanthocyanidin content, while bilberry is a superior source of anthocyanins. Their combination in this complex provides a broader spectrum with great nutritional value.
