More Info:
Cran-Max™ capsules,
provided by Douglas Laboratories®, contain 500 mg of 100% whole
cranberry fruit concentrated extract. This all-natural, 100% pure
cranberry powder dietary supplement is free of added sugars, artificial
sweeteners, and other ingredients. Cran-Max is derived using a unique
extraction process which allows for a higher concentration of all of
the active nutrients in cranberries compared to other cranberry
supplements. Juice from whole, organic cranberries is extracted from
the fruit, concentrated, and infused back into the pure cranberry fiber
of the original berry.
This unique process provides an
exceptionally nutrient-dense cranberry concentrate which contains all
of the bioactive ingredients of the whole fruit. As scientists have not
yet identified all of the active constituents of cranberry, it is
essential that the whole fruit, with its entire complement of bioactive
components, be used for optimal health benefit. Cran-Max is
distinguished from other cranberry powder supplements by its higher
concentration of juice and dietary fiber.
Typically, the
nutrients contained in 2 capsules of many cranberry supplements have
the equivalent activity of 1 ounce of cranberry juice cocktail.
However, the potent concentrate in a single Cran-Max capsule provides
the equivalent activity of 8 ounces of cranberry juice cocktail. As a
result, fewer Cran-Max capsules provide superior nutrient concentration
than other extracts or fruit juice cocktail. Consequently, Cran-Max is
an effective and convenient means of supporting urinary tract health.
Cranberry juice has long been recognized
for its role in supporting urinary tract health. Its beneficial
properties were originally attributed to its ability to acidify urine.
However, recent research indicates that the active components of
cranberry prevent deleterious bacteria (such as Escherichia coli) from
adhering to the epithelial lining of the urinary tract where they could
otherwise congregate, multiply, and induce infection.
The
identity of the active ingredients of cranberry has not yet been
completely described. It appears that two components of cranberry
inhibit bacterial adhesion: fructose, a sugar typically found in fruit,
and a yet to be identified polymeric compound. Whole cranberries also
contain proanthocyanins and anthocyanins, two bioflavonoids known for
their antioxidant activity. Other health benefits have been ascribed to
the presence of several organic acids including hippuric, ellagic,
shikimic, quinic, malic, benzoic, and citric acids. Cran-Max is the
only cranberry dietary supplement shown to contain ellagic acid which
is reported to be the principle organic acid in natural cranberry
fruit.
