Description and indications for use
Blueberry-Forte with lutein contains blueberry anthocyanins, vitamins and zinc, necessary for daily vision maintenance, especially with increased eye strain, and is also additionally enhanced with lutein, a carotenoid that performs a protective function for the retina.
The higher the lutein density in the retina, the lower the risk of changes. A decrease in protective function due to a lack of lutein in food leads to depletion of the pigment layer of the retina, which can lead to decreased vision. Today it is the most common cause of vision problems in people over 60 years of age. Lutein plays an important role in preventing structural changes in the eyes.
How do the components work?
- Blueberry anthocyanins stimulate the synthesis and natural renewal of the visual pigment rhodopsin, helping to increase visual acuity, improve adaptation to darkness and low light conditions. At the same time, the process of natural renewal of the retina is accelerated and eye fatigue from prolonged work is reduced.
- The complex of blueberry bioflavonoids and rutin with vitamin C helps strengthen the vascular wall, improve blood supply to the eyes and maintain normal intraocular pressure.
- The B complex of vitamins is necessary for normal metabolic processes in the tissues of the eye. Vitamin B1 improves visual performance, while its deficiency causes muscle weakness, including eye tissue. With a deficiency of vitamin B2, redness of the eyes occurs and a burning sensation appears in the eyes and eyelids. If you are deficient in vitamin B6, you may experience increased eye tension and eye twitching.
- Zinc is necessary for the formation of the main visual pigment rhodopsin and the transmission of light signals through the retina, thereby protecting the eyes from structural changes caused by bright light, UV radiation or other types of oxidative stress. Structural changes in the retina and decreased color vision are associated with zinc deficiency in the body.
Blueberry Forte with Lutein contains the entire Blueberry Forte complex with vitamins and zinc, additionally enhanced with lutein, a carotinide that performs a protective function for the retina.

I took 2 tablets twice a day for two months. But at the end of the course I did not notice any improvements.
Evgenia L., October 24, 2016, age: 30
I don’t believe in the magical properties of vitamins to cure all kinds of diseases, but as a prevention and maintenance of the existing normal state, yes. So I take Blueberry Forte once a year precisely for these purposes, so far it helps, although my heredity in this direction is not very good.

I don’t have any serious problems with my eyes, but sometimes I get a feeling of sand in my eyes and tension - I want to blink my eyes properly. This dietary supplement helped get rid of these very unpleasant sensations. But I want to warn you right away that in a week you will not feel the effect. I drank in courses - 2-2.5 months/a break a month, etc. It helps me after about 1.5 months of taking it, it almost helps to get rid of such sensations, and then I drink to enhance the result. I can generally recommend it, unless, of course, you have serious eye problems.

Eyes are often under stress these days. We spend too much time on computers, phones and tablets. And for me, for example, because of this, I often have redness, watery eyes, and in the evening I even have some kind of pain in my eyes. That's why I thought about feeding my eyes with some additional vitamins so that my eyesight would at least not deteriorate. My choice fell on the dietary supplement from Evalara blueberry forte with lutein. These are natural tablets with blueberries and lutein, which have a very good effect on our retina, due to problems with which vision often deteriorates with age. I have been taking the dietary supplement for 3 months now, and in a couple of months I am going to repeat the course. The effect of vitamins is cumulative, so I felt the result only in the third month of taking it. My eyes began to tire less, the discomfort in the evenings went away, and it became easier to endure long-term stress. Therefore, I am satisfied with the vitamins, there are results!

I discovered this drug two years ago. My vision began to deteriorate (dropped by 0.25) because I started working more on the computer. The ophthalmologist advised me to drink this dietary supplement once every six months for two months as a preventive measure. I liked the composition, enhanced with lutein. Essentially, this is the same Blueberry forte, only enhanced with this useful substance. - Lutein (The main pigment of the macula, which is located in the very center of the retina. It protects the eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, and is also responsible for vision. Prevents diseases: cataracts, glaucoma) - Blueberry anthocyanins (coloring pigments of natural origin. They protect tissues from oxidative processes, strengthen blood vessels, reduce the likelihood of blood clots) - B vitamins (helps the eyes cope with fatigue) - zinc (necessary for the absorption of vitamin A) Tablets are easy to swallow. I drink 2 pieces twice a day - as written in the instructions. Within 2 months. Then I take a break for six months. During this time, my vision did not deteriorate. In the evening, the eyes stopped hurting, there was no discomfort in the eyes, no redness.

A complex of vitamins is then a complex of vitamins to support and help the body cope with stress. You need to protect and care for your eyes, try to give them rest and supply the body with vitamins that are good for the eyes. I take Blueberry Forte periodically, once a year I definitely take a course, I highly recommend it to everyone, especially to workers who work sedentarily at a computer. Sometimes I just feel that it’s time to start taking it, apparently the accumulated effect ends, and the hyperstress on the eyes makes itself felt. I first heard about her back in college, it was even fashionable for us to take these pills, but then everything was more for show off, I work so hard, study, even my eyes can’t stand it) But, after many years, I can say, thank you to her, I still don’t wear glasses and don’t keep a bunch of contact lenses in my closet, because my job requires me to spend 10 hours a day at the computer, not always being able to get up for a break. Advantages: a product proven over the years. Disadvantages: no
Kurakina L.M., 10/22/2017
Due to the sensitivity of my eyes, I decided to try taking vitamins in the hope of protecting my eyes from the negative influence of the external environment and reducing tearfulness. I chose blueberries forte with lutein, since thanks to it, zeaxanthin is formed in the tissues, which protects the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and other adverse external factors. I only took one course of vitamins for two months. And there are positive changes. They appeared towards the end of the course, but after taking the pills they last for a couple of months. The eyes became less sensitive to light, stopped watering from the wind and sun, and quickly got used to dark lighting. I didn’t have any problems with my eyesight, so I can’t evaluate this aspect. I think that these vitamins are good specifically for preventing vision impairment and maintaining eye health.
Blueberry forte for eyes has the following composition:
- natural blueberry extract;
- zinc lactate;
- ascorbic acid or vitamin C;
- routine;
- vitamin B complex – B1 or thiamine, B2 or riboflavin and B6 or pyridoxine.
Blueberry forte Evalar is produced with additional components - lutein, zinc and vitamins, as well as an intensive complex for vision, enhanced with vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3.
The basic composition includes substances that support vision:
| Substance | Action |
| Blueberry extract or extract from fruits, leaves and shoots | Anthocyanins, microelements, organic and amino acids, essential oils and bioflavonoids normalize metabolic processes, protect the vascular wall, and neutralize free radicals. They reduce retinal degeneration, inhibit the formation of cataracts, improve twilight vision, protect against solar radiation and increase visual load tolerance. Accelerate healing after injuries, slow down the aging process. Reduce intraocular pressure, reduce the likelihood of hemorrhages in the retina |
| Zinc lactate | Supports collagen, helps the vascular wall remain elastic. Actively participates in antioxidant reactions |
| Vitamin C | The active part of many enzymes, prevents cataracts, improves the properties of connective tissue in the sclera of the eye, neutralizes the harm from smoking |
| Rutin | Contains antioxidants, strengthens capillaries, relieves inflammation |
| Thiamine or B1 | Normalizes intraocular pressure, prevents glaucoma |
| Riboflavin or B2 | Neutralizes oxidative reactions that interfere with the natural processes of tissue restoration or repair. Prevents cataracts or inhibits their development. Binds collagen, strengthens the cornea |
| Pyridoxine or B6 | Participates in the metabolism of amino acids, improves the condition of the mucous membrane of the eyes, eliminates the feeling of tired eyes, burning and “sand” in the eyes |
The produced tablets and eye drops with blueberries are needed by everyone who cares about their vision or experiences increased visual stress, works a lot at the computer or otherwise puts stress on their eyes.
Blueberry eye vitamins are more beneficial than others due to the exceptional properties of the berry itself. To grow it, you need special natural conditions - swamps or tundra, dense northern forests, and the shrub adapts to the height of the surrounding plants.
To make medicines, blueberries have to be grown artificially, since a lot of plant raw materials are required. Today this is done on an industrial scale.
Indications and contraindications
All preparations with blueberries are intended to protect the eyes - both healthy and not so healthy. The main indication is visual strain, which occurs when a person spends a long time:
- works at a computer;
- drives a car;
- is in open sun.
The first visual disturbances always appear at dusk, when illumination decreases.
A simple test: if it’s difficult to read at sunset, it’s time to take eye vitamins.
Blueberry Forte is useful for all vascular lesions of the eyes: diabetic retinopathy, various types of angiopathy - hyper- or hypotonic, diabetic, traumatic, age-related retinal dystrophy, atherosclerotic changes in the retina, consequences of retinal microinfarctions.
Blueberry-forte preparations (both standard and with additives) are useful and are used in all periods of major eye diseases: glaucoma, myopia.
For cataracts, the composition stops the clouding of the lens, and as part of a complex treatment allows you to postpone surgical treatment indefinitely.
With vitamins and zinc for children – It is recommended for children from 3 to 12 years old, after which the usual drug can be given. Blueberry forte for children contains the same substances as the main composition, but the dosages are adjusted to the needs of the child’s body. You should give your child vitamins in the same way - 2 tablets in the morning and in the evening; overdose or harm is impossible.
After 3 years of age, children go through the most important stage of their development, learn to read and write, draw a lot, and develop fine motor skills. All this increases the strain on the eyes many times over. The typical time of onset of eye diseases is school age. The educational load forces children to spend a lot of time with books and notebooks; helping their eyes will be very helpful.
With lutein – contains an enzyme from the group of carotenoids, which is not produced in the body. The main property of lutein is the absorption of the blue-violet spectrum of solar radiation and the neutralization of free radicals. The maximum amount of lutein is concentrated in the central part of the retina, which provides basic visual acuity.
The blue-violet spectrum belongs to the visually ineffective part. This part of the spectrum produces “blurring” and “erasing” of the image that reaches our retina. Blueberry forte with lutein, removing it, increases the clarity and sharpness of visual perception. As we age, the retina's ability to transmit blue light decreases, a natural defense against blindness.
Lutein is part of breast milk, which allows the newborn to cope with the huge flow of light that meets him in this world. In recent years, this substance has begun to be included in infant formula.
An isomer of lutein - the same molecule with a slightly different structure - is zeaxanthin, often found in eye preparations.
Intensive complex – enriched with omega-3, it contains an increased amount of anthocyanins, vitamin A is added. Omega-3 is fish oil and contains polyunsaturated acids that are not synthesized in the body. The study of these substances continues; today it is known that fish oil increases life expectancy and slows down all aging processes. Blueberry-Forte intensive complex for vision also stops inflammation from contact with polluted air.
It is better for older people to take Blueberry Forte in the form of syrup, as it is more convenient. But there are no differences in the activity of the drug.
Side effects
Side effects of vitamins are not described, since an overdose at the recommended rate of administration is impossible. In case of accidental overdose, allergic reactions such as digestive disorders in the form of nausea, vomiting, and stool disorders are possible. In this case, the manufacturer recommends taking any pharmaceutical sorbent. In severe cases, gastric lavage is required.
The drug does not affect concentration or reaction speed; it can be used by vehicle drivers.
In the manufacture of the drug, imported raw materials from Germany and Switzerland, which have an international safety certificate, are partially used.
Blueberry forte during pregnancy
The general rule of pregnancy is that dietary supplements are prohibited. This is due to the fact that dietary supplements are not medicines; dietary supplements do not undergo clinical trials in the same way as drugs are required.
When any dietary supplement is released onto the market, no fetal research is conducted. This is not required, since the food cannot harm the fetus. However, there is a theoretical possibility of some damage that doctors do not yet know about. This may be playing it safe, but pregnant women should avoid using nutritional supplements.
There is no statistical data on the dangers of dietary supplements for pregnant women, but prolongation of labor and healthy offspring is too important a life goal to allow even a theoretical risk.
Shelf life of the drug
The usual shelf life is 3 years. During this time, the drug retains all its properties. It is important to observe storage conditions, do not place in the open sun and do not freeze.
Analogs
Blueberry Forte is the best drug in its range, having maximum concentration and usefulness. Analogues of the drug are:
- Okuwait;
- Blueberry mick;
- Glazorol;
- Ophthalmix;
- Star eyebright;
- Vitrum Forize;
- Systane Ultra in the form of drops;
- Visio Balance;
- Blueberry paste;
- Omagami Clear Vision;
- Taufon;
- Oko-Plus;
- Zoro-Vit and other plant-mineral complexes.
The principle of their action is similar to Blueberry Forte, but differs in a smaller amount of active substances.
You need to treat the dietary supplement Blueberry Forte wisely. This supplement may not improve vision in cases where the eye is irreversibly affected. Blueberries can maintain vision at the existing level, but cannot radically improve it.

Varieties, names, manufacturers, release forms and brief characteristics of dietary supplements Blueberry forte
Currently, the name “Blueberry Forte” is used by a whole group of dietary supplements containing blueberry extract as the main active component. These dietary supplements are produced by various pharmaceutical companies, are available in different dosage forms (for example, drops, tablets, capsules, etc.) and, in addition to blueberry extract, may contain other additional components that enhance the effect of the main one.Dietary supplements containing only blueberry extract are usually called simply “Blueberry forte”. Accordingly, dietary supplements with additional components in addition to blueberries have names based on the principle: “Blueberry forte + name of additional substances”, for example, “Blueberry forte with lutein”, “Blueberry forte with zinc”, etc. To identify each dietary supplement, it is usually necessary to a short and recognizable name of the manufacturer is added to its name, for example, “Blueberry forte Evalar” or “Blueberry forte Farm-pro”, etc.
Since all dietary supplements Blueberry Forte, produced by different manufacturers, essentially have the same properties, indications and rules of use, we will consider them together in one article. At the same time, by the name “Blueberry forte” we mean all dietary supplements produced by various companies, but containing blueberry extract as the main active component. If necessary, we will separately indicate what type of dietary supplement we are talking about. If the text does not specify the type of dietary supplement, then you should know that the information applies to all dietary supplements that contain the words “Blueberry Forte” in their name.
Thus, in Russia, dietary supplements with blueberry extract under the name “Blueberry Forte” are produced mainly by the following three pharmaceutical corporations:
- Evalar is one of the most famous dietary supplement manufacturing companies in Russia;
- Pharm-pro is also a well-known dietary supplement manufacturing company;
- SBC is a relatively little-known company that produces several dietary supplements called Blueberry Forte.
Most often, when people say “Blueberry forte,” they mean dietary supplements from Evalar, since they are the most widespread. Pharm-pro dietary supplements are somewhat less common than Evalar drugs, and SBC are the most rare.
These companies produce the following varieties of dietary supplements containing blueberry extract as the main active ingredient and having the phrase “Blueberry forte” in the name:
1. Dietary supplements from Evalar:
- Blueberry forte in the form of syrup (contains blueberry and cranberry extract);
- Blueberry forte in tablet form (contains blueberry and cranberry extract);
- Blueberry forte Intensive complex for vision in bags (contains blueberry extract and vitamins);
- Blueberry forte with zinc and vitamins in tablet form (contains blueberry extract, zinc and vitamins);
- Blueberry forte with lutein in the form of tablets or capsules (contains blueberry extract, vitamins, zinc and lutein).
- Blueberry forte with lutein in capsule form (contains blueberry extract, vitamins and lutein);
- Blueberry forte Premium Farm-pro;
- Blueberry forte Plus Farm-pro;
- Blueberry forte Farm-pro.
- Blueberry forte SBC;
- Blueberry forte with lutein SBC.
This state of affairs is most likely due to the fact that the registration period for the drugs has not yet expired, but pharmaceutical companies simply stopped producing them. Considering that dietary supplements that have been discontinued but are still listed in the drug registry database will most likely no longer be produced, we will not describe them in the text below. In what follows we will dwell in detail only on those Dietary supplements Blueberry forte, which are available in pharmacies in Russian cities and are still produced by pharmaceutical companies, namely:
- Blueberry forte in the form of Evalar syrup;
- Blueberry forte in Evalar tablets;
- Blueberry forte Intensive complex for vision Evalar;
- Blueberry forte with zinc and vitamins Evalar;
- Blueberry forte with lutein Evalar;
- Blueberry forte with lutein Pharm-pro.

Therapeutic effect (properties)
The therapeutic effect of all dietary supplements is due to the properties of their active components. Since the main component of the preparations is blueberry extract, its properties are the most important and pronounced. The properties of other dietary supplement components only complement the effects of blueberry extract. Blueberry extract contains various trace elements, organic acids, amino acids, vitamins, essential oils, triterpenes, phenols, polyphenols, tannins, catechins, phenolcarboxylic acids, bioflavonoids and anthocyanosides. Thanks to these substances, blueberry extract has the following effects:
- Antioxidant action, which consists of neutralizing free radicals that damage cell membranes. The destruction of free radicals protects cells from damage and improves their functioning, thereby normalizing the general condition of various organs and tissues and reducing the severity of chronic diseases.
- Supports the normal process of connective tissue formation. And since connective tissue is present in all organs and it is in it that blood vessels pass, blueberry extract is able to maintain normal blood supply, and therefore the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to each cell. Accordingly, thanks to this effect, the organs function well and are resistant to the damaging effects of negative environmental factors.
- Strengthens the capillary wall, reducing its fragility and at the same time increasing its elasticity. Thanks to this effect, the blood vessels are not damaged and the tissues are well supplied with blood.
- Improves cell membrane flexibility, increasing their resistance to damage. Thanks to this effect, the cells retain their properties and work efficiently, which normalizes the functioning of all organs as a whole.
- Prevents aggregation platelets and the formation of blood clots, which ensures the maintenance of blood microcirculation in small vessels.
- Prevents inflammation and reduces its severity in various organs and tissues.
- Activates metabolism.
- Improves blood supply and microcirculation in eye tissues, which allows you to improve vision, reduce the degree of eye fatigue during hard work, and also stop the development of dystrophic changes in various severe systemic diseases, such as diabetes, arterial hypertension, etc.
- Improves the condition of eye tissues and reduces the rate of progression of the pathological process in glaucoma and retinal dystrophy.
- Prevents the development of cataracts or stops it at the level to which the pathological process has already reached.
- Activates the work of enzymes in the retina of the eye, accelerating the restoration of the light-sensitive pigment rhodopsin and thereby increasing its sensitivity to changes in light intensity. Thanks to this, blueberry extract increases visual acuity in normal and twilight lighting, and also prevents vision deterioration under high eye strain.
- Reduces eye fatigue and irritation under any load (especially in the dark or under artificial lighting).
- With central involutional chorioretinal dystrophy of the “dry” form of the retina, blueberries improve the condition of the retina.
Another very important, but not so common area of use of blueberry extract is toxicology. The fact is that blueberries effectively absorb toxic substances in the intestines and remove them from the body, due to which food poisoning is quickly cured and microflora is normalized. Blueberry extract reduces the severity of pain and inflammation in the intestines and improves the digestion process.
Other components of Blueberry forte dietary supplements enhance and complement the effects of blueberry extract. Thus, rutin and vitamin C strengthen the wall of blood vessels, improve microcirculation in the tissues of the eye, reduce the risk of hemorrhages and normalize intraocular pressure.
B vitamins improve metabolism in eye tissues, increase visual performance, and prevent redness and burning sensation. Also, B vitamins prevent the development of cataracts and reduce tension in the eye muscles.
Zinc protects eye tissue from damage by ultraviolet rays, normalizes the perception and discrimination of colors, and also prevents the development of cataracts and retinal detachment.
Focusing on each type of dietary supplement, we can briefly characterize their main effect as follows:
1. Blueberry forte in syrup and tablets, Blueberry forte intensive complex for vision:
- Helps maintain visual acuity;
- Protects eyes from severe fatigue and irritation.
- Helps quickly relieve eye strain;
- Improves vision in the dark;
- Improves the condition of the blood vessels of the eye, including the fundus.
- Helps maintain visual acuity;
- Protects eyes from severe fatigue and irritation;
- Protects the retina from damage.

Blueberry forte for children
Blueberry forte is quite widely used in pediatric practice to maintain normal vision in children, as well as to treat rapid eye fatigue and irritation. Modern children often face problems with their eyesight, since they have to strain their eyes a lot of time, looking at a computer monitor, TV or other gadgets, as well as studying in developmental programs.Due to such a high load on the eyes, many children’s vision begins to deteriorate at a very early age, and signs of fatigue and overstrain of the visual organ also appear, such as redness, swelling, burning and itching sensation, double vision, blurred vision, spasm of accommodation etc. To eliminate these problems and preserve the child’s vision, doctors often resort to prescribing dietary supplements Blueberry Forte, which turn out to be very effective in the described cases, since we are talking only about functional disorders without serious illnesses.
Children can be given the following types of dietary supplements Blueberry forte:
- Blueberries forte in syrup or tablets;
- Blueberry forte with zinc and vitamins;
- Blueberry forte with lutein from Evalar or Pharm-pro.
The dosages of these dietary supplements differ depending on the age of the child, and are shown in the table:
| Child's age | Blueberry forte syrup | Blueberry forte tablets | Blueberry forte with zinc | Blueberry forte with lutein from Evalar and Pharm-pro |
| 36 years | One teaspoon of syrup twice a day, morning and evening | One tablet twice a day, morning and evening | One tablet twice a day, morning and evening | |
