St. Francis Herb Farm Bilberry Leaf & Berry
St. Francis Herb Farm Bilberry Leaf & Berry is a premium herbal tincture designed to support ocular health and maintain healthy blood glucose levels. This formula combines both the fruit and the leaf of the bilberry plant, providing a broad spectrum of therapeutic compounds. Rich in anthocyanosides (powerful antioxidants), Bilberry is traditionally used to support the tiny blood vessels of the eyes and improve night vision, while the leaves provide additional metabolic support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bilberry the same as North American Blueberry? While related, Bilberries are smaller, darker, and contain a much higher concentration of anthocyanins throughout the entire fruit (including the flesh), making them more potent for therapeutic use.
How does this help with night vision? Bilberry helps the body regenerate rhodopsin, a purple pigment in the eye used for seeing in low-light conditions.
Can I take this if I am diabetic? Bilberry leaf is traditionally used to help manage blood sugar. If you are taking insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering medications, consult a healthcare practitioner before use to avoid potential interactions.
Why are both the leaf and the berry included? The berry is primarily used for its antioxidant and eye-supporting properties, while the leaf provides additional support for the circulatory system and metabolic health.
What sizes are available? This tincture is available in three convenient sizes: 50 ml, 100 ml, and 250 ml.
