Origin
Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract is procured from ripe blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium), which are native to eastern and central parts of Canada and the northeastern US. The blueberry plant grows as a shrub with oval-shaped green leaves and bell-shaped white flowers with blue-black berries in between. The berries are crushed and dissolved in a solvent to make the extract. It is then filtered to remove the impurities and may be concentrated.
