Bilberry Eye Complex Bilberry Extract Botanical Support for the Eyes Planetary Formulas Bilberry Eye Complex features a concentrated extract of bilberry, one of the most widely researched botanicals for supporting normal visual acuity. This is combined with the classic Chinese preparation, Ming Mu Di Huang Wan, whose name translates literally to mean 'Bright Eye Rehmannia Formula.' Together, these herbs unite science and tradition to provide nourishing support for normal vision. The Bilberry Alternative Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a dark blue, edible fruit, similar to the common blueberry. During World War II, bilberry was used by British bomber pilots, who believed it helped their night vision. Bilberry has been a staple of European herbalism for hundreds of years, and has become one of the most widely used herbs in the United States for supporting vision. Bilberry is naturally rich in anthocyanosides - a special class of flavonoid that gives the berries their blue pigment. Anthocyanosides are powerful antioxidants with an affinity for connective tissue. Bilberry supports the capillary integrity of the retina, plus the normal production of rhodopsin, a substance in the rods of the retina that is necessary for night vision. Studies suggest bilberry also may help the eyes adapt to variations in light intensity and may increase circulation to the eye's intricate network of tiny blood vessels. Bilberry Eye Complex is a comprehensive formula that unites concentrated, standardized bilberry extract with the Chinese compound, Ming Mu Di Huang Wan, which literally translates to mean Bright Eye Rehmannia Formula. This is the classic Chinese herbal compound used to support normal vision.
