Cranberry (Vaccinium Oxycoccus), a plant of the rhododendron family, grows mainly in the cold northern hemisphere, and is also common in the Greater Xing'an Mountains of China. Cranberry fruits are favored by people because of their high moisture, low calories, high fiber, and multiple minerals. It can prevent urinary tract infections, cardiovascular diseases, and protect oral and dental health.
Organic Cranberry Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Vaccinium macrocarpon via solvent extraction and concentration. It primarily contains proanthocyanidins (PACs), anthocyanins, and organic acids. While no single molecular formula exists for the crude extract, key marker compounds include cyanidin-3-glucoside. CAS numbers vary by specific fraction; the general fruit extract lacks a unique universal identifier.
