Standardized European Bilberry Extract, 100 mg: Antioxidant Protection, Microcirculation, Vision Health and Vascular Support – MirtoSelect® Standardized European Bilberry at 36% Anthocyanins

Standardized European Bilberry Extract, 100 mg, Life Extension is a premium dietary supplement formulated to support ocular health and microcirculation, while also providing strong cellular-level antioxidant support. The formula contains MirtoSelect® European bilberry extract (Vaccinium myrtillus, fruit), standardized to up to 36% total anthocyanins, in a concentrated dose of 100 mg. Anthocyanins are plant pigments from the flavonoid family, recognized for their ability to neutralize oxidative stress, support vascular integrity, and help protect sensitive structures such as the retina and the fine capillaries that nourish the eye.

In modern life, vision and peripheral circulation are exposed to constant demands: prolonged screen exposure, artificial light, eye strain, stress, fluctuations in circulatory pressure, sedentary habits, or long periods of standing. At the same time, oxidative stress increases with age and with exposure to environmental factors, influencing the health of small blood vessels and tissues with high oxygen demands, such as the retina. Anthocyanins from European bilberry have been studied precisely for this ability to act in two complementary directions: antioxidant protection and microvascular support.

MirtoSelect® is a standardized extract, meaning it delivers a consistent anthocyanin profile with controlled purity and concentration. This standardization is important because anthocyanins are the primary bioactive substances associated with European bilberry’s benefits, and a standardized extract ensures predictability and consistency from one serving to the next. Thus, the product is intended for individuals who want concentrated nutritional support for vision, capillaries, fine circulation, and antioxidant resilience.

Detailed benefits of Standardized European Bilberry Extract (MirtoSelect®)

• Support for vision health and protection of the retina against oxidative stress

The retina is one of the most sensitive tissues in the body, rich in lipids and exposed to a constant flow of light and oxygen – a combination that encourages the formation of free radicals. Oxidative stress can affect visual clarity, ocular comfort, and the eyes’ ability to adapt to changes in light or intense demand. Anthocyanins from European bilberry are associated with antioxidant protection of ocular structures.

In the context of daily strain, this support may contribute to:
✅ maintaining ocular comfort during periods of intensive screen use
✅ antioxidant support for the retina exposed to light and metabolic stress
✅ supporting visual function during eye fatigue
 

• Improvement of microcirculation and capillary-level perfusion

Microcirculation is the network of capillaries that supplies tissues with oxygen and nutrients. In the eye, microcirculation is essential for retinal health, and throughout the body it influences peripheral comfort and tissue function. Anthocyanins are known for their interaction with the endothelium and for supporting the resilience of small vessels, helping maintain efficient fine circulation.

Possible functional benefits:
✅ support for circulation at the level of small blood vessels (capillaries)
✅ support for optimal oxygenation of tissues with higher demands
✅ microvascular support useful during sedentary periods or circulatory strain

• Advanced antioxidant protection and free radical neutralization

Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants capable of neutralizing free radicals generated by stress, unbalanced diet, pollution, intense exertion, or aging. Over time, oxidative stress can affect cell membranes, proteins, and even DNA, accelerating metabolic wear. European bilberry extract provides concentrated antioxidant support oriented toward cellular protection.

Through this mechanism, the product may support:
✅ protection of cells against daily oxidative stress
✅ maintenance of oxidative balance in sensitive tissues (eyes, vessels)
✅ metabolic resilience during periods of increased demand

• Support for vascular integrity and capillary strength

Capillaries are delicate structures, and their integrity depends on collagen, elastin, endothelium, and inflammatory balance. Flavonoids, including anthocyanins, are associated with supporting vascular structure and capillary strength, contributing to the maintenance of a stable microvascular system. This is relevant not only for the eyes, but also for the skin and peripheral tissues.

Functional advantages:
✅ support for capillary strength and fine vascular health
✅ support for vessel walls under oxidative stress conditions
✅ maintenance of functional microcirculation for daily comfort

• Visual adaptation and comfort under variable lighting conditions

Many people notice that their eyes become more “tired” in low light, or that adapting between indoor/outdoor environments becomes more difficult when the eyes are overworked. Although visual response depends on many factors (retinal pigments, circulation, antioxidant status), anthocyanins are often included in formulas aimed at visual comfort, due to the relationship between ocular microcirculation and antioxidant protection.

In everyday life, this support may be useful for:
✅ people who drive frequently at night or in variable lighting
✅ those who spend many hours at a screen and feel eye tension
✅ demanding periods when the eyes are constantly exposed to artificial light

• Support for a balanced inflammatory response at the vascular level

Low-grade chronic inflammation can influence the endothelium, vascular stiffness, and microcirculation. Anthocyanins have a complex profile and have been studied for their interaction with metabolic pathways involved in inflammatory response and oxidative stress. By combining these effects, standardized European bilberry extract may support a more balanced vascular environment.

Associated benefits:
✅ support for the endothelium and normal vascular function
✅ metabolic resilience in the face of daily stress
✅ balance between antioxidant protection and vascular adaptation

• MirtoSelect® standardization to 36% anthocyanins – consistency and quality

A key strength of the product is the use of a standardized extract – MirtoSelect® – to up to 36% total anthocyanins. This is important because it provides a clear intake of active compounds, making the product easier to integrate into a results-oriented routine. Standardization brings consistency, and consistency is essential in supplements designed for functional support of vision and microcirculation.

The formula provides:
✅ concentrated anthocyanins from authentic European bilberry
✅ controlled profile of active compounds (standardization)
✅ targeted support for eyes, microcirculation, and antioxidant protection

Standardized European Bilberry Extract, 100 mg, Life Extension is suitable for individuals who want to support eye health, microcirculation, and antioxidant protection through a standardized European bilberry extract with concentrated anthocyanins. It is a suitable choice for a modern lifestyle in which the eyes and small vessels are exposed daily to demands: screens, artificial light, stress, and metabolic fatigue, and the body needs nutritional support for resilience and functional comfort.
