Simple Daily Routine

Take just 2 softgel capsules daily with water. Compact and easy to incorporate into any lifestyle.

Quality Assured

Made in Japan by DHC, one of Japan's most trusted supplement brands known for high-quality, affordable health products.

Time-Staggered Absorption

Three key ingredients absorb at different intervals - bilberry at approximately 30 minutes, astaxanthin at approximately 10 hours, and lutein at approximately 34 hours - providing extended support.

Best For

Those who spend long hours on screens, drive frequently, or want to support eye clarity as they age.

Premium Upgrade

The V-MAX edition features DHC's highest-ever bilberry extract amount and 3x faster anthocyanin dissolution compared to their conventional formula.

Why It Works

Benefits

DHC Fast-Acting Blueberry V-MAX delivers comprehensive eye support through a carefully formulated triple-action approach.

1

Supports Eye Clarity & Comfort

Nordic wild bilberry extract provides 200mg of anthocyanin-rich support (36% anthocyanin concentration) that may help with tired, strained eyes from prolonged screen use. The 3x faster dissolution formula allows anthocyanins to become available to your body more quickly than conventional bilberry supplements, supporting speedy eye comfort.

3x faster dissolution (DHC lab-tested)
2

Long-Lasting Eye Protection Support

Lutein from marigold supports the macular pigment in your eyes, which helps filter high-energy blue light from screens and sunlight. Combined with astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid, this formula provides extended support - lutein's effects may last up to 34 hours after ingestion, offering sustained eye protection support.

Time-staggered absorption formula
3

Comprehensive Eye Nutrition

Beyond the three key ingredients, this eye health multivitamin includes eyebright extract, megusrinoki (Japanese eye-washing tree) extract, and five B-vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) plus vitamin E. These supporting nutrients work alongside the primary ingredients for well-rounded eye nutritional support.

Multi-ingredient formula
4

Enhanced Lutein Absorption

Research indicates that lutein absorption may increase by approximately 1.4 times when taken simultaneously with bilberry extract. By combining both ingredients in a single supplement, DHC V-MAX helps you get more from each dose, maximizing the value of this eye support formula.

Research-backed combination

The Science

How It Works

Understanding how DHC Fast-Acting Blueberry V-MAX supports your eyes through science-backed mechanisms.

3x Faster Anthocyanin Dissolution

3x Faster Anthocyanin Dissolution

DHC developed a formula that achieves approximately 3x faster anthocyanin dissolution compared to their conventional Blueberry Extract product.

Through testing hundreds of formulation combinations, they optimized the softgel capsule composition so that bilberry's active anthocyanins dissolve rapidly in the stomach.

This was measured using the Japanese Pharmacopoeia dissolution test method with artificial gastric fluid at 37 degrees celsius, showing visible color change within 30 minutes.
Time-Staggered Triple Absorption

Time-Staggered Triple Absorption

The three key ingredients absorb at different time points, providing extended coverage throughout the day:

  • Bilberry extract - reaches peak effect at approximately 30 minutes after ingestion, supporting quick relief from eye strain
  • Astaxanthin - follows at approximately 10 hours, providing mid-day support
  • Lutein - reaches peak at approximately 34 hours, offering sustained long-term protection support

This staggered approach means a single daily dose works across an extended period.
Anthocyanin Eye Support Mechanism

Anthocyanin Eye Support Mechanism

Anthocyanins are blue-purple natural pigments that plants produce to protect themselves from harmful light including ultraviolet rays.

In bilberry, these anthocyanins are particularly concentrated. DHC's formula uses 100% Nordic wild bilberry, which contains higher anthocyanin levels than cultivated varieties.

The formula is designed to support tired eyes from overuse, with the faster dissolution speed enabling quicker support.

The Science

Research & Evidence

What the evidence tells us about the key ingredients in this eye health formula.

Dissolution Speed Comparison

Dissolution Speed Comparison—DHC conducted dissolution testing following the 16th Edition Japanese Pharmacopoeia dissolution test method. Using 900ml of artificial gastric fluid heated to 37 degrees celsius, the V-MAX softgel capsule was agitated and sampled over time. Anthocyanin dissolution rate was measured using cyanidin-3-glucoside chloride (C3G) as the marker compound, showing approximately 3x faster dissolution compared to DHC's conventional Blueberry Extract product.

Ingredient Profile & Amounts

Ingredient Profile & Amounts—The V-MAX formula represents a significant upgrade from DHC's popular Fast-Acting Blueberry: bilberry extract increased to 200mg (DHC's highest-ever amount), lutein increased to 10mg, and astaxanthin newly added at 6mg. Supporting ingredients include eyebright extract 10mg, megusrinoki extract 10mg, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, and E.

A Note on Evidence: We present research on ingredients, not specific product claims. Individual results may vary. This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Ingredient Research Highlights

BILBERRY EXTRACT (ANTHOCYANINS)

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a wild berry native to Northern Europe known for its exceptionally high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are polyphenolic compounds studied for their potential role in supporting eye comfort and visual function. Nordic wild bilberry varieties contain significantly more anthocyanins than cultivated blueberries.

Official DHC product information, maker's product sheet
LUTEIN

Lutein is a carotenoid naturally found in the macula of the human eye, where it acts as a natural blue light filter. It is commonly sourced from marigold flowers. Research suggests lutein supplementation may support macular pigment density, which is associated with visual function and comfort during screen use.

Official DHC product information
ASTAXANTHIN

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment sourced from Haematococcus algae. It is recognized for its role as a powerful carotenoid that may support eye comfort, particularly during prolonged near-focus activities. DHC's V-MAX formula newly includes 6mg of astaxanthin (free-form equivalent).

  • If you spend long hours on screens, consider taking your capsules in the morning for daytime support
  • Store in a cool, dry place and consume promptly after opening the package

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When choosing a supplement with lutein and zeaxanthin support, look for trusted brands with transparent ingredient amounts. DHC is one of Japan's most trusted supplement manufacturers.

Their V-MAX formula includes lutein from marigold - a natural source that provides both lutein and zeaxanthin - along with bilberry and astaxanthin for comprehensive triple-action eye support.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally occurring carotenoids found in many foods, and daily supplementation is generally considered safe when following recommended dosages.

DHC V-MAX provides 10mg of lutein per daily serving of 2 capsules. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
DHC V-MAX features three key differentiators: 3x faster anthocyanin dissolution speed compared to conventional formulas, a time-staggered absorption system where bilberry works within 30 minutes while astaxanthin and lutein provide extended support, and DHC's highest-ever bilberry extract amount at 200mg with 36% anthocyanin concentration.
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a wild European berry with significantly higher anthocyanin concentration than cultivated blueberries.

DHC V-MAX uses 100% Nordic wild bilberry from Finland and Sweden, providing 200mg of extract with 36% anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are the blue-purple pigments that plants produce to protect against harmful light.
DHC V-MAX is a health food that can generally be taken alongside other supplements. However, if you are taking prescription medications or other supplements containing similar ingredients such as vitamin E or B-vitamins, consult your healthcare provider to ensure appropriate total daily intake.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage of 2 capsules per day.
DHC tested their V-MAX formula against their conventional Blueberry Extract product using the Japanese Pharmacopoeia dissolution test method.

In artificial gastric fluid at body temperature, the V-MAX anthocyanins dissolved approximately 3 times faster. This means the active bilberry compounds become available to your body more quickly after ingestion.
DHC V-MAX can be taken at any time since it is a health food. Taking it after a meal may support better absorption, especially for fat-soluble ingredients like lutein and astaxanthin.

If you use screens heavily during the day, morning intake allows the fast-acting bilberry to support you during work hours. Consistency matters more than specific timing.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids naturally found in the macula of the human eye, where they help filter blue light. Research has studied their role in supporting macular pigment density.

DHC V-MAX goes beyond just lutein by combining it with bilberry anthocyanins and astaxanthin for a multi-pathway approach. Individual results may vary, and this supplement is not intended to treat any eye condition.
DHC V-MAX is particularly suited for people who spend long hours on computers or smartphones, frequent drivers, and those noticing age-related changes in eye comfort.

The official product information recommends it for anyone wanting speedy, long-lasting eye clarity support and those seeking a premium upgrade from basic bilberry supplements.
This product contains soy and gelatin. It does not contain eggs, wheat, milk, peanuts, shrimp, crab, or buckwheat.

If you have food allergies, please review the full ingredient list carefully before use. The capsule shell is made from gelatin and glycerin.

Vision clarity worth the wait

After using this for several weeks, I'm noticing a real difference in how sharp everything looks. The soft capsules are easy to take daily, and I'm definitely seeing clearer vision developing.

O
Oliver Barnes
Noticed the Difference When I Stopped

It took about five weeks before I realized these were actually working. My vision felt clearer and my eye strain from work reduced significantly. Then I ran out for two weeks and my eyes went right back to feeling tired and blurry by day's end. That's when I knew the supplement was genuinely helping. I've been reordering since.

S
Soo-jin Park
Skeptical at First, Now a Regular User

I bought these because my optometrist mentioned bilberry for age-related vision support, and honestly I wasn't expecting much. The capsules are comfortable to swallow and don't leave any residue or taste. After about eight weeks, I started noticing that reading fine print felt less taxing, and my eyes weren't as sore at the end of the day. The change was gradual, not dramatic, but it's real. My husband borrowed a bottle once and said he noticed his own eye fatigue improve, so now we both take them. They've become part of my routine.

M
Michael Chen
Disappointing Lack of Results

Took these daily for two months with zero improvement in vision quality or eye fatigue. I noticed no change whatsoever in my screen strain or visual clarity.

S
Sarah Mitchell
Genuine Clarity Improvement Over Time

I waited three months before writing this because I wanted to be certain the improvement was real and not placebo. It is real. My vision feels noticeably crisper, especially for distance viewing. The bilberry extract combined with lutein and zeaxanthin seems to be working as intended. I haven't experienced any side effects and the capsules are easy to incorporate into my daily routine. Plan to continue taking these.

Brian Phillips
Concert Vision Finally Sharp Again

After months of squinting at the stage during live performances, I decided to try these for their lutein and zeaxanthin blend. Within about 6 weeks of daily use, I noticed a genuine difference—the performers weren't fuzzy anymore, even from the back of the venue. My eyes felt less strained too, especially after long days at my computer. The soft capsules are simple to take with breakfast, no aftertaste or weird smell. I've recommended these to other concert-goers in my friend group, and at least two have noticed the same sharpness improvement I experienced.

J
Julian Hoffmann
Noticeable Vision Improvement But Inconsistent Results

I've experienced clearer vision and reduced eye fatigue on most days after eight weeks of consistent use. The capsules are easy to swallow with no unpleasant taste. The only drawback is that results aren't consistent—some days the effect is more noticeable than others, which makes it harder to rely on for predictable vision support.

Y
Yuki Tanaka
Works for Presbyopia

My aging eyes feel supported by this blend.

A
Ananya Reddy
Sharper vision at live events

Bought these specifically for an upcoming concert and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. Once I started taking them regularly though, I could really tell the difference when watching—distance vision felt noticeably sharper and clearer. These work exactly as I'd hoped.

S
Sebastian Fischer
Eye Strain Relief That Adds Up

As someone who stares at screens eight hours daily, eye fatigue was my normal. After two months with these, I'm experiencing noticeably less discomfort and occasional headaches that used to follow heavy screen days have diminished. The gel capsules are straightforward to take with meals. Results aren't instant, but they're measurable once you stick with it.

Marco Bianchi
Soft Capsules, No Hassle

These swallow easily and have no taste or odor. After three months, my screen fatigue noticeably decreased.

E
Ethan Fletcher
Effective but Capsules Are Hard to Swallow

After six weeks of consistent use, I've experienced noticeably clearer vision and reduced eye strain from screen time. The bilberry and lutein combination really works. My only complaint is that the capsules are a bit large and difficult to swallow compared to other supplements I've tried.

G
Grace Taylor
Transformed My Vision Clarity

These capsules have dramatically improved my eye fatigue and visual clarity. After just a few weeks of daily use, I noticed sharper vision and significantly less strain from screen time. The bilberry and lutein combination is highly effective and I've experienced consistent, noticeable benefits.

G
Grace Chua
Clear improvement, easy to take

Since starting these capsules, my vision feels measurably clearer and more focused. The soft gels are effortless to swallow with no taste or smell. My only minor note is that the capsule size is a bit larger than some other supplements I've tried, but it's not a real issue.

A
Amara Okafor
Family recommendation I trust

My father—who's always had excellent vision—recommended this to me and explained why he continues taking it. Since he suggested it, I've been using these regularly and have noticed real benefits myself. The soft capsules dissolve smoothly and have become part of my daily routine. What impressed me most is that when I briefly stopped taking them, I actually felt the difference: my eyes tired more easily and vision wasn't as sharp. That's when I realized how much this was supporting my eye health. I've definitely noticed reduced eye strain from screen work, and the visual clarity is genuinely better. This isn't just a placebo effect—stopping and restarting proved that to me. I'm continuing this long-term because the results are real.

Joshua Tan
Sharp vision improvement for important moments

These capsules delivered exactly what I needed! After taking them consistently, my vision became noticeably sharper and clearer, especially for detailed work. My eye fatigue decreased significantly, and I felt prepared and confident for my upcoming event. Highly recommend for anyone needing peak visual performance.

Ashley Williams
Great Results, Though Formula Could Be More Stable

I've been taking these consistently and my eye fatigue has decreased significantly, especially after long days at my computer. The visual clarity improvement is real and noticeable. The bilberry and lutein formula is excellent. However, the soft gel capsules seem sensitive to temperature changes—I'd recommend storing them in a cool place to maintain their integrity.

These capsules have significantly reduced my eye fatigue and improved my visual clarity. I take them daily and experience consistent benefits, particularly after extended screen use. The bilberry and lutein combination is highly effective and delivers noticeable results.

B
Brandon Davis
No noticeable difference for me

I took these consistently for over a month hoping for some improvement in my eye strain, but honestly, I didn't notice any effect at all. The capsules are simple enough to swallow, but the product itself just didn't deliver any results I could detect. Very disappointed, as I was hoping for at least some subtle improvement. Won't be reordering.

C
Christina Baker
Subtle but consistent improvement over time

When I first started taking these for an upcoming event, I was skeptical because results aren't immediate—and honestly, when you're taking a daily supplement, you forget you're even taking it sometimes. But then I noticed something: on the days leading up to the event, my vision felt noticeably sharper and more focused. Looking back over several weeks of use, I can trace a pattern of gradual improvement in how clearly I see. The effect is subtle, which is probably why some people dismiss it, but it's real. The soft capsules are completely hassle-free, and I've committed to taking them before any events where visual clarity matters. Even if the improvement seems small day-to-day, the cumulative effect is noticeable enough that I keep reordering.

Liam O'Connor
Excellent Support for Eye Fatigue and Screen Strain

After several weeks of daily use, my eyes feel noticeably fresher and less fatigued, especially during long screen time. The visual clarity improvement is real and measurable.

Great results despite one sealed capsule concern

My vision improved noticeably and eye fatigue decreased significantly after taking these regularly. Colors appear more vibrant and my focus is sharper. One minor issue: one capsule had a loose seal, but the rest were fine and worked wonderfully.

Live performance essential

A friend gave me this before a concert and I immediately felt the difference. Now I always have this on hand for live events.

J
Jessica Adams
Concert vision was incredibly sharp

I heard about this supplement through social media and decided to try it before attending a performance where my seats were quite far back. After taking it before the show, I was genuinely amazed at the difference. My vision was remarkably clear—I could see facial expressions and details that usually blur together from a distance. My eyes felt sharp and focused in a way they normally don't. The sharpness of my visual clarity was honestly shocking. I plan to use this every time I attend live events from now on.

C
Christopher Lee
Results unclear so far

I'm honestly unsure if this is noticeably better than a standard blueberry supplement. The capsules are fine to take, but I haven't detected a meaningful difference in my eye fatigue or vision quality yet.

Solid eye support formula

I've confirmed through personal use that this formula delivers real benefits for eye health. The combination of bilberry, lutein, and zeaxanthin works well together.
