High Quality Cranberry Extract for Health Food
Product Description
Cranberry extract is derived from the fruits of cranberries (family Ericaceae). Its core active component is Type A proanthocyanidins, and it also contains nutrients such as vitamin C and organic acids. For its extraction process, water extraction or alcohol extraction techniques are mostly adopted to retain the activity of effective components. The finished product is usually in the form of dark red powder, which is easily soluble in water and has strong stability, making it convenient for subsequent processing and application.

Product Function
1.Protecting Urinary System Health
Type A proanthocyanidins, the core component of cranberry extract, can bind to urothelial cells, prevent the adhesion of harmful bacteria such as E. coli, and reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is particularly effective in the auxiliary prevention of recurrent UTIs in women.
2. Exerting Antioxidant Effects
Cranberry extract contains a variety of antioxidants including vitamin C and flavonoids. These substances can scavenge excess free radicals in the body, reduce cell damage caused by oxidative stress, delay skin aging, protect cardiovascular cells, and enhance the body's overall antioxidant capacity.
3. Assisting in Maintaining Oral Health
Its active components can inhibit the adhesion of cariogenic bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus mutans) to the tooth surface, reduce the formation of dental plaque, lower the risk of dental caries and gingivitis, and contribute to oral health protection.
4.Regulating Blood Glucose and Lipids
Some studies have shown that the polyphenolic substances in cranberry extract can improve insulin sensitivity and help lower blood glucose levels. At the same time, they can reduce the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (so-called "bad cholesterol"), exerting a certain positive effect on lipid regulation.
