Product Description
Cranberry extract is a concentrated liquid or powdered substance derived from the fruit of the cranberry plant, Vaccinium macrocarpon. It is obtained through a process of extraction, typically using water or organic solvents. Cranberry extract is rich in bioactive compounds such as proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and organic acids. It is available in various forms including liquid concentrates, powders, and capsules, and ranges in color from dark red to brown.
Function
Cranberry extract is renowned for its potential health benefits, particularly for urinary tract health. It contains compounds that prevent the adhesion of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, to the walls of the urinary tract, thereby reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Additionally, cranberry extract is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals in the body and protect against oxidative damage. Some studies also suggest that cranberry extract may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
Application
Cranberry extract is widely used in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and food industries. In pharmaceuticals, it is formulated into medications and supplements aimed at promoting urinary tract health and preventing UTIs. In dietary supplements, cranberry extract is commonly taken in capsule or tablet form to support overall health and well-being, as well as to prevent UTIs. In the food industry, cranberry extract is used as a natural flavoring and coloring agent in various products such as juices, sauces, and baked goods. Additionally, cranberry extract may also be found in personal care products such as shampoos and skincare formulations due to its antioxidant properties.
