Viridian Cranberry Berry Extract

Viridian Cranberry Berry Extract is a potent concentrated botanical supplement providing the powerful protective compounds found in cranberries in a convenient and highly bioavailable capsule form. Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) have been used for generations in traditional medicine and are now extensively studied for their role in supporting urinary tract health and general antioxidant protection.

The active constituents responsible for cranberry's health-promoting properties are proanthocyanidins (PACs), specifically type-A proanthocyanidins that are unique to cranberries and blueberries. These compounds work by preventing bacteria, particularly E. coli — the most common cause of urinary tract infections — from adhering to the epithelial cells lining the urinary tract. By inhibiting bacterial adhesion rather than killing bacteria, cranberry works by a non-antibiotic mechanism that does not contribute to antibiotic resistance and can be safely used on a long-term basis for prevention.

Cranberries are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other polyphenolic antioxidants that contribute to protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting cardiovascular health. The anthocyanins that give cranberries their distinctive deep red colour are powerful free radical scavengers with anti-inflammatory properties.

Viridian's extract is standardised to ensure a consistent and therapeutic level of active PACs in each capsule, providing reliable potency. The supplement is formulated with 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to strict ethical standards.
