What is Lingonberry Fruit Extract?
Lingonberry Fruit Extract is a potent natural ingredient derived from the small, tart berries of the Vaccinium vitis-idaea plant, native to the boreal forests of Scandinavia and North America. Our Lingonberry Extract is produced using a gentle, cold-press extraction method followed by spray-drying to create a stable, versatile powder. This process ensures maximum retention of the berries' beneficial compounds while maintaining their natural potency.
Our expert extraction process carefully preserves the rich array of bioactive compounds found in these remarkable fruits, including:
Antioxidants: Lingonberries are packed with polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, which offer powerful free-radical scavenging properties.
Vitamin C: A natural source of this essential nutrient, crucial for collagen synthesis and skin health.
Organic Acids: Including benzoic acid, which contributes to the extract's natural preservative qualities.
Flavonoids: Such as quercetin and kaempferol, known for their anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits.

Efficacy and Function
Antioxidant effect: Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants and free radical scavengers that can fight against uncontrolled oxidation and free radical attacks in the body, slowing down or inhibiting aging and pathological changes in the human body. Therefore, bilberry extract can be used as a functional ingredient for functional foods, or directly as a dietary supplement.
Protect eyesight: Anthocyanins have an activating effect on the resynthesis system of rhodopsin, thus improving eyesight. Bilberry extract can be used to protect eyesight, prevent blindness, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal hemorrhage, improve myopia, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pigmentary retinitis and night blindness, etc.
Protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular: Anthocyanins can stabilize phospholipids in endothelial cells, maintain the integrity of arterial wall structure by increasing collagen and mucopolysaccharides, and protect veins and arteries. Bilberry extract can strengthen cerebral blood vessels, prevent cerebral vascular lesions, and can also strengthen myocardial blood vessels, kidney blood vessels, veins, etc., and prevent related diseases.
