Blueberry Extract is Back on the Shelves

A decade ago, an estimate of 16 million people live with some form of cognitive impairment while 5.1 million have Alzheimer’s disease (CDC, 2014; 2011).

How do we protect our brain from dementia? And is it possible to reverse an aging and forgetful brain? (see statistics, CDC, 2026; 2014; 2011)

Barbara Shukit-Hale’s (2012) seminal research, Blueberries and neuronal aging, clearly demonstrates the power of blueberry and particularly blueberry extract in protecting and even reversing cognitive decline.

Shukit-Hale worked with many new scientists on the connection between blueberries and the brain. The research indicates that a cup or two of blueberry every day will improve cognitive performance, improve athletic abilities (balance, strength, and endurance), and elevate our mood (Miller et al., 2018; Schrager et al., 2015; Khalid et al., 2017). 

Research also emphasizes quantity: one cup of blueberries a day is good but 2 cups a day may be even better (Miller & Shukitt-Hale,  2012).  These health improvements are not just limited to the elderly but to all ages — even children greatly benefit (Whyte, 2016; Khalid, 2017).

The BioImmersion Blueberry Extract is a serious product.  The cognitive, mood enhancing, and athletic benefits emanate from the blueberry pigment is extracted from the North American blueberry.  Each capsule contains 500mg of extract, equivalent to one and a quarter cups of blueberries.  In fact, it takes 80 lbs. of blueberries to get 1 lb. of our extract!

Suggested Use:  1-2 capsules twice daily for two weeks to start an intensive program, and 1 capsule a day as a maintenance.

Enjoy!
