Q: What does bilberry do to your eyes?
A: Bilberry is renowned for supporting eye health, primarily due to its high concentration of antioxidants called anthocyanins. Its key benefits are:
Enhancing Night Vision: It helps improve the eyes’ ability to adjust to darkness.
Reducing Eye Fatigue: It can alleviate strain and dryness caused by prolonged screen time or driving.
Protecting Retina: Its antioxidants help shield the retina from oxidative damage caused by blue light and aging.
Q: Which is better, lutein or bilberry?
A: They are complementary, not competitive. Think of them as a team:
Lutein acts as “internal sunglasses,” filtering harmful blue light before it reaches the retina.
Bilberry acts as a “repair and maintenance crew,” providing antioxidants to protect and repair eye tissues from oxidative damage. For comprehensive eye support, taking them together is often more effective than choosing one.
Q: How long does it take for bilberry to work on eyes?
A: The timeline can vary based on individual needs and dosage. However, many users report noticing benefits, such as reduced eye strain, within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. For more significant effects like improved night vision, it may take 1 to 3 months of regular supplementation.
Q: How much bilberry extract should I take daily?
A: A standard daily dosage for general eye health is 80 mg to 160 mg of a bilberry extract standardized to contain 25% anthocyanins. For more targeted support, doses up to 240 mg daily may be used. Always follow the specific product’s label instructions and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
