45% of Bilberry Dietary Supplements Found Unacceptable Quality, Major Problems Uncovered.
Bilberries and bilberry-containing supplements were tested to check their quality. Dried bilberries were mostly good, but some supplements were found to be of poor quality, with some not containing actual bilberries or having very low levels of important compounds. Some supplements were even faked with substances from other sources. Bilberry juices, however, were generally of good quality. More testing is needed to make sure these products are better.
