Overview

Cranberry extract is derived from the fruit of the cranberry plant (Vaccinium macrocarpon), a small, tart berry native to North America. It is rich in various bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and proanthocyanidins, which contribute to its potential health benefits. Cranberry extract is perhaps best known for its ability to support urinary tract health. It contains compounds called proanthocyanidins, which may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by preventing bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli (E. coli), from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract.
