Cran-Max™
Cranberry Concentrate
for Urinary Tract Health*
Cranberries are a rich source of proanthocyanidins, or PACs. 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. Cran-Max™ cranberry concentrate provides a good source of PACs and anthocyanins.
Description
Cran-Max™ is a concentrated whole fruit cranberry concentrate. It is made from 100% of the cranberry. Cran-Max™ 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.
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™ 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.
