Legend has it that during World War II, British Royal Air Force Fighter Pilots ate bilberries before night missions to enhance their nocturnal vision. Though such benefits in this case are purely anecdotal, bilberry's polyphenols and potential health benefits of this small member of the blueberry family are not. Our Bilberry Extract provides 25% anthocyanins, a richly-pigmented, natural plant compound. Anthocyanins have been studied in research and may support eye health, vascular and blood health.

Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a Native American herb used to support the relief of menopausal and premenstrual symptoms. It is a safe alternative to hormone replacement therapy, and has been recommended by the German Commission E for offering support for cramps, PMS, and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.

Cranberry has been long used for its medicinal properties because of its ability to support a healthy urinary tract. Our Organic Cranberry 500 mg tablets are as close to nature as possible - containing only organic cranberries (with organic rice bran and organic acacia gum to help hold the tablet together). Sourced from North America, each vegan tablet contains 500 mg of organic cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) that is standardized to contain at least 6% quinic acid. Quinic acid is an active component of the cranberry fruit that lends the astringent qualities to cranberry fruit and juice.

Long known for its medicinal uses, cranberry has more recently enjoyed popularity because of its ability to support a healthy urinary tract. Our cranberry extract utilizes Cran-Max®, the industry's leading source of high quality cranberry products.
