What Is Blueberry Leaf Extract?

Blueberry leaf extract is a concentrated supplement derived from the leaves of the blueberry plant (Vaccinium corymbosum). Unlike the fruit, the leaves are rich in chlorogenic acid, a compound with high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) that helps neutralize free radicals. This extract delivers a potent dose of antioxidants in a convenient capsule form, offering a unique way to support overall wellness beyond what the berries alone provide.

How Does Blueberry Leaf Extract Support Health?

Antioxidants are essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress, which can contribute to aging and various health concerns. Blueberry leaf extract may help maintain healthy vision by supporting the delicate tissues of the eyes. Additionally, it may promote memory and cognitive function by protecting brain cells from damage. While research is ongoing, these traditional uses are backed by preliminary studies on the bioactive compounds found in blueberry leaves. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare practitioner.

How to Incorporate Blueberry Leaf Extract Into Your Routine

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with water and a meal to support absorption. The 90-capsule bottle provides a three-month supply. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
