Bilberry Extract (Vaccinium myrtillus)

As you might notice, the bilberry is a relative of the strawberry and is also called the huckleberry. It is similar to the blueberry and is often used for the same purposes. The berries have been used for ages in European medicine as treatments for the gastrointestinal tract, and diabetes. It’s still used for the same purposes, and is gaining recognition for its anti-diabetic properties.
