Proanthocyanidin-rich extract preventing bacterial adhesion in urinary tract

We rank Cranberry Extract by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Cranberry Extract is a concentrated form of the cranberry fruit. It is rich in proanthocyanidins, which are natural compounds called polyphenols that act as antioxidants to protect cells from damage.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support urinary tract health. The proanthocyanidins in the extract help prevent bacterial adhesion, which means they stop bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract.

How it's made

The process begins by crushing raw cranberries to extract their juices. This liquid is then put through a concentration process to remove water and isolate the active compounds, resulting in a potent powder that can be put into capsules or tablets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the cost of growing and harvesting the raw berries, combined with the industrial extraction process needed to concentrate the active compounds, is more expensive than simple vitamins but cheaper than rare botanical extracts.
