Cran-Max™: Clinically Proven Cranberry Concentrate
for Urinary Tract Health*
Cran-Max™ is the most clinically studied, whole-fruit cranberry concentrate delivering the complete benefits of the whole berry: juice, flesh, seeds, and skin, designed to support comprehensive urinary tract health* and antioxidant support. Backed by 3 clinical studies, Cran-Max™ delivers amongst the highest PAC content, and leverages Pharmachem’s proprietary Bio-Shield™ technology, ensuring bioactive protection from gastric degradation. With its clean-label, solvent-free process, Cran-Max™ preserves the natural balance of cranberry phytonutrients rather than isolating single compounds.
Description
Cran-Max™ is a concentrated whole fruit cranberry concentrate. It is made from 100% of the cranberry. Cran-Max™ concentrate contains no carriers, no solvents, no added sweeteners, and no flavorings or added colors.
Cranberries provide a rich source of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins (PACs) and are a better source of these than almost any other fruit. Research shows that (PACs), particularly A-type PACs, support urinary tract health. Anthocyanins, which are also found in cranberries and are natural antioxidants, support overall health.
Benefits
Did you know that many cranberry juice drinks contain mostly sugar and water, and are only about 27−33% cranberry juice? One 500 mg dose of Cran-Max™ cranberry concentrate provides the same amount of anthocyanins as seven glasses of cranberry juice cocktail, without all the sugar.
Cran-Max™ is the only cranberry concentrate made using a proprietary process, Bio-Shield™ technology. Bio-Shield™ is designed to protect the anthocyanins and phenols from destruction by gastric acid in the stomach.
