Antioxidants are always good...
Antioxidants are one thing I lean heavily on and use a couple of the most common ones, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, daily. But depending on what I eat say some hotdogs or bacon, I will load up on antioxidants including things such as resveratol, green tea extract, grape seed extract, and red wine extract. This blueberry extract brings a new recruit to my antioxidant arsenal for those times I eat some of the problem foods, such as those cited above.

Nice blueberry supplement and slightly smaller than others
Blueberries are proven to be packed full of powerful antioxidants and good for the body, but we don’t all get enough blueberries in our diets (and not everyone likes the flavor of blueberries). Not long ago, I started taking blueberry supplements to gain the benefits of this wonderful berry that I just do not consume enough of. Since I haven’t been taking these supplements long, I am still trying out a few brands, Rejuvenation Therapeutics being one.The pills, like all the others I have tried, are a bit of a purple colored powder in a cellulose capsule, but they are a little smaller than some others (and a tad smaller than the average supplement). The serving size is two pills, compared to the one for other brands I have tried so far, but no big deal as the pills are easy to swallow. The pills come in a small plastic bottle with a screw on plastic lid that keeps them fresh and mostly protected from light, and I’d suggest storing them in a dark place as the bottle isn’t completely opaque. The label on the bottle is simple and lacks some information, like being made in a GMP facility, being made in the USA, being third-party tested, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, etc. These are all on the product page though and it would be nice to see it also on the label for the bottle as well.I think these are good blueberry supplement pills and I would consider continuing to take them. My only real consideration is one average size pill vs. two slightly smaller ones. I am not sure I have a preference, so it may not be much of a consideration. The quality, as far as I can tell, seems good. There is little to no odor or taste to them either, which is comparable to other blueberry supplements that I have tried (I honestly thought there would be at least some blueberry smell and/or flavor, but apparently not).

A great way to get extra antioxidants, especially during the winter!
We keep organic, frozen blueberries to eat when they are not in season, which is also when it’s usually cold out. That’s hard to eat frozen blueberries when it’s cold out so I thought I would give these a try to get that extra antioxidants.I love that they are organic. And they are small and easy to take. They are non GMO, GMP certified and vegan. The capsule is made of organic potato starch. These are great for improving memory and for urinary tract health as well. They have 350 mg and are an awesome option for when you can’t eat the raw blueberries or just want to add extra antioxidants in your diet!

Probably works! Can't tell.
I've taken these but I have no idea if it is doing anything! The outside of the bottle looks like an off-brand. The branding makes me think the company that makes this is really small. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. If you're looking for blueberry extract then look no further. It is organic which is great.

Easy to swallow!
The media could not be loaded. I do not eat enough fresh or frozen blueberries, and I got these blueberry capsules to supplement my nutrition. It is great to add some antioxidants, especially in the winter months. The bottle has 60 purple colored vegan capsules, which are smaller than standard capsules. They are easy to swallow, the suggested use is to take two capsules once daily. The expiration date is May 2024, but I will definitely use them much sooner. They are made with organic blueberries, but I did not see the USDA organic certification, it has only the GMO free, GMP (good manufacturing practice) and vegan labels. I would recommend this supplement to a friend!

Great way to get a superfruit added to your diet
I don't always buy fresh blueberries because they go bad so quickly, but this is a nice option to have. Instead of a veggie capsule you can get more fruit in your diet with these. They're a super fruit! I think the value could be a little better, but overall good quality and easy to swallow capsules.

Super fruit
There's been a lot of talk for years about blueberries and their supposed effect on preventing alzheimers and dementia. I have tried to eat them as much as possible because I have alzheimers on both sides of my family. I figure it can't hurt to try to prevent it if possible. And, blueberries are tasty! It's always best to consume real food but let's be real, sometimes it is just easier to pop a pill than prepare the food. Or, if eating blueberries gives you gastro issues, you'll need an alternative. Blueberries really are a "super fruit" and I encourage everyone to do a little research on them. You can find studies online regarding their many health benefits. I would like to point out that though a natural food, some people do need to use caution with blueberries so if you have a health condition or take medications, check with your doctor. Blueberries contain high amounts of salicylates( aspirin ingredient) which can cause side effects in people who are sensitive to them and could thin the blood.That aside, the product contains organic blueberries and the bottle has an outer and inner seal. If you don't like or can't swallow pills, these capsules are easy to open and the powder has a very mild taste. It did gum up some on the roof of my mouth when emptied on my tongue and combined with water. However with a little effort I was able to swallow it down. No issue that would prevent me personally from consuming that way. If you have trouble with tongue strength or don't like the gumming up, this should also be no problem emptying and adding onto food since there is no overpowering taste.Not sure how many blueberries per capsule as I don't see the info anywhere. The extraction is 4:1 but unsure exactly what concentration levels. Also, % of anthocyanins would be nice.
