Cranberry Extract
Cranberries, also known as lingonberry, are primarily cultivated under the optimal growing conditions of Canada, the northern United States, and Chile. With the majority of production concentrated in North America, cranberries have earned the esteemed name “rubies of northern America”. Cranberries contain multiple nutritional substances, including organic acids, vitamin C, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, catechins, and triterpenes. Through a concentration process, the bioactive compounds in cranberries are preserved to exert health-protective effects.
The rich benzoid acid content in cranberries is metabolized and excreted into the urine as hippuric acid. This process acidifies the urine to effectively suppress bacterial growth. Furthermore, the proanthocyanidin and organic acid content in cranberries help contribute to overall health and wellness.
