NOW Bilberry Complex
Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve diarrhea. Diarrhea can have many triggers from infectious bacteria, food allergies, or digestive disorders such as Crohn’s disease. Bilberry and other antioxidant based plants and herbals can offer natural relief versus OTC options.
Bilberry extract has been evaluated for its efficacy as an antioxidant, mucostimulant, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, vasoprotectant, and lipid-lowering agent, but has met with mixed reviews. Bilberry is rich in anthocyanins that help treat diarrhea. Carotenoids from Beta-carotene and carrot powder, plus flavonoids from Citrus fruit can help strengthen the intestinal wall and fight off noxious free radicals that may cause damage to the intestine. Riboflavin plays an active role in developing the lining of the digestive tract.
