How Much Bilberry Is in NeuroRecall? Label Amount, Latin Name and Cautions

The line reads Bilberry Fruit Extract, with the note "Listed as Vaccinium cyanococcus fruit". It is third in the blend, after cinnamon bark and ginkgo. The Neuro Recall bilberry has no amount of its own on the bottle. Only the 635 mg total for the whole blend is printed.

Here is how we get "up to 211.7 mg". Label rules list blend items from heaviest to lightest. So the item in place three can weigh no more than 635 divided by 3. That is about 211.7 mg. It could be less. The true split is not printed, and the maker is not named in our files.

This matters for honest reading. Whenever you see a figure for an herb in this blend, it is a ceiling, not a measured amount. Our Supplement Facts page shows the panel as printed and explains each line.

The Latin name printed, Vaccinium cyanococcus, usually points to the blueberry group, not to European bilberry. We cannot say which fruit is in the capsule. The label names bilberry in words and blueberry in Latin. The two do not match in the usual sense.

We are not saying that is wrong or hidden. Plant names get muddled on labels all the time, and common names vary by region. We are saying it is a fair question to ask the seller. If a supplement gives two names for one ingredient, a pharmacist or the order desk can ask the maker.

The order desk is on +1 (302) 200-3480. Orders, tracking and refunds go there. Website questions go to [email protected]. That address cannot see orders.

The NCCIH bilberry page says no condition has been clearly shown to improve with bilberry. That is a firm finding for a cautious reader. It does not say bilberry is harmful. It says the evidence for benefits is not there.

On safety, the NCCIH notes that doses of up to 160 mg a day for up to six months were well tolerated in studies. The Neuro Recall bilberry can reach 211.7 mg in a serving, so it could be above that studied level. Whether it is, we cannot tell, since the real amount is not printed.

The table on our ingredients page rates the gap as "not a memory dose". There is no trial of bilberry for memory at this dose that we can point to, and no trial of Neuro Recall itself. We do not claim that it helps.

Bilberry on its own is not the main reason to ask. The rest of the blend is. Ginkgo may raise bleeding risk, especially with blood thinners. Berberine can clash with transplant drugs and many prescriptions. Four items can lower blood sugar. Green tea extract has a rare liver caution.

Because the Neuro Recall bilberry sits next to those, the sensible step is to take the whole label to a pharmacist. They can read the list in a few minutes. If you take medicines, bring the bottles.

The label says not to use the product if you are pregnant or nursing. Keep it out of reach of children. It is not FDA approved, and no supplement is. It is not a treatment for any disease. See our fit check to find your row.

The label groups ten items under one name, the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend, at 635 mg. Federal rules let a maker print one total for a blend, as long as the items are listed from heaviest to lightest. Cinnamon is the only item with a floor: at least 63.5 mg. Every other item has only a ceiling.

That leaves the Neuro Recall bilberry anywhere between a small share and 211.7 mg. If the first two items take most of the weight, bilberry could be far lower. If the weights are close, it could be near the ceiling. A reader cannot tell, and neither can a pharmacist.

This is the reason our label reading guide tells you to treat blend figures as ceilings. It is also why we say the dose is not a memory dose. We cannot compare an unknown amount with a study.

• Which fruit is used, and why does the label print a blueberry Latin name?
• Is there a lab certificate for the batch? Our files show a reference, NR-7487-26-GO, but no certificate is published.
• Can the maker share the split of the 635 mg blend?
• What is the best-before date on my bottle?

Ask by phone or email, and keep the reply. The answers may be slow or missing. If so, that tells you something, and you can weigh it before you pay. Our quality page lists what is and is not published.

People often link bilberry with eyesight. We make no such claim, and neither does the label. The sources we cite do not show that bilberry helps any condition. The only eye-related item with a well-known study in this blend is lutein with zeaxanthin, and that study was about a specific eye disease, not memory. Our benefits page lists what each item has been studied for.

If your eyes or vision change, see an eye doctor. Sudden vision trouble, with confusion or weakness, is an emergency. Call 911.

You do not take it alone. It comes with the full capsule. The label dose is 2 capsules a day, or as your health care provider directs. One bottle holds 60 capsules, so it lasts 30 days at that dose.

Keep a short log: capsules taken, your stomach, sleep, bruising and any new medicine. Review it with your doctor or pharmacist at about 12 weeks. Our how to use guide has the routine and a weekly plan.

Our view is that the Neuro Recall bilberry is a small, quiet part of a long label. The naming oddity is worth a question. The research gives no reason to expect a result from it.

Spend your effort on the medicine check, the log and the 12 week review. They will tell you more than any single herb.
