Introduction
Cranberry, a traditional health fruit native to North America, has long been celebrated for its unique health benefits. Modern scientific research has revealed that its core active component—Cranberry Extract—excels in supporting urinary tract health, while its potent antioxidant potential is also gaining increasing recognition.

Part 1: What is Cranberry Extract?

· Source Plant: Derived from the cranberry plant, Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton, of the Ericaceae family. Primarily cultivated in North America, with large-scale growth in regions like Wisconsin and Massachusetts.

· Extracted From: The mature fruit.

· Active Components: The key active compounds are Proanthocyanidins, particularly the unique A-Type Proanthocyanidins. It is also rich in anthocyanins (which give it the red color), quinic acid, and D-mannose.

· Standard Specifications: We offer standard specifications of Cranberry Extract standardized to 30% or 36% Proanthocyanidins. Products calibrated to quinic acid or anthocyanins are also available upon request.

· Analysis Report: We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis for each batch, ensuring Proanthocyanidin content, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbiological limits comply with international pharmacopoeia and food standards.

Part 2: Key Health Benefits and Mechanisms of Action
The health benefits of Cranberry Extract are supported by solid scientific evidence:

· Supports Urinary Tract Health: Its unique A-type Proanthocyanidins effectively prevent pathogenic bacteria like E. coli from adhering to the urinary tract walls. By altering the fimbriae structure of the bacteria, they are flushed out with urine, providing a natural "anti-adhesion" mechanism rather than a bactericidal effect.

· Powerful Antioxidant Activity: The rich polyphenols and anthocyanins effectively scavenge free radicals, reducing the body's oxidative stress levels, which helps delay cellular aging and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

· Promotes Cardiovascular Health: Research indicates that its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help improve vascular endothelial function and may be beneficial in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

· Oral Health Benefits: A similar "anti-adhesion" mechanism can, to some extent, inhibit the colonization of bacteria responsible for dental caries and periodontal disease on tooth surfaces, supporting a balanced oral microbiome.

Part 3: Wide-Ranging Application Industries
Our high-quality Cranberry Extract is a versatile natural ingredient:

· Pharmaceuticals & Dietary Supplements: The primary application area. Specifically used in capsules, tablets, and gummies formulated for preventing and supporting urinary tract health, as well as in complex products for women's health.

· Functional Foods & Beverages: Added to juices, chewables, powders, and health drinks to provide a defined urinary health benefit.

· Cosmetics & Personal Care: Leveraged for its antioxidant capacity in premium skincare products to help combat oxidative damage and delay aging; also used in mouthwashes for oral health.

· Animal Nutrition: Used as a nutritional supplement for pets (especially cats and dogs) to help maintain their urinary tract health.

Part 4: How to Choose a High-Quality Cranberry Extract
To ensure efficacy, consider the following when selecting a supplier:

· Standardization & Bioactivity: Always choose a product standardized for Proanthocyanidin content, specifically A-Type PACs, as this guarantees its core functionality.

· Advanced Extraction Technology: We employ gentle water extraction and resin purification technologies designed to maximize the retention of thermolabile active compounds (like anthocyanins), avoiding harsh solvents.

· Comprehensive Testing: Reputable suppliers provide third-party test reports covering pesticide residues, heavy metals, and microbiological limits, ensuring a pure and safe product.

· Regulatory Compliance: We ensure our products meet the regulatory requirements of target markets, such as USP/NF standards in the USA and EU Novel Food regulations, and possess quality management system certifications like FSSC22000 and cGMP.
