BETA CAROTENE: The most abundant of the carotenoids. Beta carotene has strong provitamin A activity. It is a stronger antioxidant than vitamin A. Studies have shown that several carotenoids other than betacarotene are potent antioxidants that provide profound health benefits. Because of this, the scientific community has now recognized the importance of natural mixed carotenoids including beta carotene. BILBERRY: An herb (Vaccinium corymbosum) (V. myrtillus). Bilberry is a perennial shrub that has long been used throughout Holland, Germany and Scandinavia for its health promoting effects. Numerous clinical studies have shown that bilberry contains active ingredients which affect proper eye function. Bilberries are particularly rich in the red pigment antioxidants called anthocyanosides. Studies revealed that the anthocyanosides bind to capillaries, which are found extensively in the eyes and help maintain their integrity, reduce their fragility and promote their repair. BIOFLAVONOID: Any of a group of colored flavones found in many fruits which aid in the absorption and metabolism of ascorbic acid. Bioflavonoids are needed for the maintenance of collagen and capillary walls and may aid in protection against infection. BIOTIN: An essential coenzyme that assists in the making of fatty acids and in the burning of carbohydrates and fats for body heat and energy. It is also essential for function of red blood cells and hemoglobin synthesis. BORON: A mineral that may play a role in maintaining strong bones, affecting calcium and magnesium metabolism and proper membrane function. BURDOCK ROOT: An herb (Arctium minus) (Arctium lappa). Burdock is a large, coarse herb that grows only at a certain time of year and has hooked bracts or burs which adhere to clothing or animal fur. This root has been used to treat various skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis. BUTCHER'S BROOM: An herb (Ruscus aculeatus). This roadside plant has distinguishable yellow flowers and is found in the Pacific Northwest. Also known as box holly or knee holly, butcher's broom is a short evergreen shrub from the family Liliaceae.
