Could this cold-weather berry be your ticket to LEVELING OUT sugar spikes?

If you’re paying attention to how your blood sugar is rising…

And you’ve FAILED to bring it down by changing your diet…

You know what comes next.

Your doc will send you marching off to the pharmacy to fill an Rx for a diabetes drug!

But you don’t necessarily need to play right into Big Pharma’s hands – at least, not right away.

Because there’s something ELSE you can try first.

It’s been the “secret weapon” of fighter pilots for nearly 80 years…

And it could be the trick up YOUR sleeve for keeping diabetes GROUNDED.

The darker the berry, the sweeter the success

If you were to come across a bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), you might think it looks just like a blueberry.

Bilberries are much more commonly found in Europe…

But they’re so closely related to our country’s most common “blue” berry… some folks call them “European blueberries!”

Picking them from the wild is a popular activity during berry season in Iceland… where they serve them with a side of Icelandic yogurt, called skyr.

But they’re not JUST a tasty treat.

Bilberries… and even bilberry leaves… have been used intraditional medicinal practices…

For at least a MILLENNIUM!

Bilberries offer potent anti-inflammatory action… and they’re powerful antioxidants, too.

Just like blueberries, they contain antioxidant pigments called anthocyanins… which give them their dark purple color.

Bilberry got a lot of attention in the last century for boosting night vision during WWII battles.

But according to research, it could do even more…

Like help you manage your type 2 diabetes!

An animal study out of Japan showed how these berries’ anthocyanin content was linked to IMPROVED glucose transport… LOWER sugar levels… and INCREASED insulin sensitivity.

And all it took was just 5 weeks.

As it turns out, bilberry can do EVEN BETTER for diabetics…

Because in one study on real people, Danish researchers found that a SINGLE DOSE of standardized bilberry extract was enough to improve measures of impaired glucose tolerance.

Another study… this one out of Finland… found that eating bilberries could also help support beta cell function in the pancreas (which is where insulin production occurs).

Now, you may be wondering why you should go to the trouble of getting bilberry… when you could just grab a bushel of good ol’ American blueberries?

Well, bilberries are like blueberries ON STEROIDS.

Bilberries could have as much as 4X more anthocyanin content than blueberries!

Look for bilberry extract in supplement form that’s been standardized to contain at least 25% anthocyanidin.

There are a couple of patented extracts out there… including one from Japan, where nearly 30 years of clinical research has been coming from.

The study I just mentioned… the one that involved just one dose… used a bilberry extract that had been standardized to contain at least 36% anthocyanins.
