Q: How is Bilberry Extract superior to regular dried blueberry powder?

A: Dried blueberry powders are mostly fruit sugars and fibre, providing only modest anthocyanin levels. This solvent-extracted bilberry powder removes inert pulp and concentrates native anthocyanins and flavonols, so a few hundred milligrams equal the antioxidant punch of several grams of whole fruit. That potency lets formulators keep serving sizes small, avoid excess sugar and still claim robust eye- and vascular-support benefits on clean labels.

Q: What daily amount is typical in eye-health supplements?

A: Finished products usually deliver 300–600 mg extract per day, often split between morning and evening doses. Within this range users report less night-glare discomfort and general visual freshness, while remaining far below levels that could disturb gut tolerance. The dose fits neatly into single-capsule formats, single-serve stick packs or a handful of functional gummies, keeping regimens easy and consistent for consumers.

Q: Can Bilberry Extract be combined with lutein or omega-3 oils in vision formulas?

A: Yes. Bilberry’s water-soluble anthocyanins complement lutein/zeaxanthin’s fat-soluble carotenoids and DHA’s structural role in the retina. For powders, micro-encapsulate the oil components to maintain uniformity; for softgels, suspend bilberry in the outer gelatin or include a dual-capsule system. Combining these actives delivers multi-pathway ocular support, covering antioxidant defence, macular pigment density and photoreceptor fluidity in one synergistic product.

Q: Is the extract heat-stable enough for baked cereal bars or extruded snacks?

A: Anthocyanins tolerate brief heat but fade with prolonged high-temperature exposure. Keeping bake cycles under 140 °C for less than 10 minutes preserves over 80 % activity. Alternatively, dust the finished bars with a bilberry-infused glaze at cooler temperatures to lock in colour and potency. Oxygen-barrier packaging then protects residual actives and vibrant hue for a six-month ambient shelf life.
