Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Long been used by Native Americans to relief kidney and urinary discomforts 1 , cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) is a rich source of health powerful compounds like organic acids, flavonols, pentacyclic triterpenoids, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidin (PACs).
Among natural non-antimicrobial solutions, supplementation with cranberries has been gaining specific attention for the prevention of UTIs (urinary tract infections), conditions where one or more pathogenic microorganisms (mainly Escherichia coli) exceed a threshold quantity in the urinary tract 2 .
Reproducing complexity of the polyphenolic profile of the fruit, Anthocran® is a highly standardized cranberry extract, characterized by the highest PACs content among available products on the market*: a botanical solution in supporting urinary tract health, at all ages.
