Growing wild in the nutrient-dense heathlands and mountain woods of Northern Europe, Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus)—often called the European Blueberry—has a rich history in classical European herbalism. Legendary accounts from World War II note that British Royal Air Force pilots consumed Bilberry preserve prior to night missions to support twilight vision and visual acuity. Packed with powerful blue-purple anthocyanins and antioxidant polyphenols, Bilberry remains one of nature’s most effective botanicals for supporting microvascular circulation, collagen integrity, and ocular health.
