SinoVital Cranberry fruit D.E. ≥ 25% Proanthocyanidins

Description

Belonging to the subgenus Oxycoccus, Cranberry is a low-growing perennial shrub that produces white or pink flowers between May and June and the distinctive red berries in Autumn season. It is native to the northeastern and north-central areas of North America, but it’s naturalised in many areas of China and Europe, where it grows in mountains, forests, daps and along rivers. Because of their low sugar and high acid content, V. macrocarpon berries possess a distinguishing sour taste and are rich in proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, tannin and vitamin C.

Cranberry fruit dry extract is extremely popular as a functional food due to its antioxidant action and its depurative and draining properties, and recent research supports its efficacy in preventing urinary tract infections.
