Cranberry extract capsules, 500 mg, made from dried Vaccinium macrocarpon fruit concentrate and sold as a food supplement. For importers, distributors, pharmacy chains and private-label buyers who need a clear PAC specification.

Product Description:

Cranberry extract is a dried concentrate of the fruit of the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon. The fruit or juice is pressed, concentrated and dried to a powder, then filled into hard capsules, here at 500 mg. Labels most often quote proanthocyanidins, shortened to PACs, alongside organic acids and other polyphenols. Extracts differ widely. Some are plain juice powders, others are standardised to a stated PAC content, and the two are not interchangeable.

Cranberry capsules are food supplements in most markets, though a few countries use a separate natural health product category. Label wording is tightly controlled in many regions, and a statement accepted in one country may be refused in another. Some labels show a fresh-fruit equivalent rather than extract weight, a far larger number that confuses buyers comparing offers. A caution for people taking warfarin or other prescription medicines is common.

Sourcing notes. Ask how PAC content was measured, because the DMAC method and older methods give very different figures for the same material. The specification should cover extract weight, HPLC fingerprint identity to detect added colours, heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbial limits and moisture. Ask whether a carrier such as maltodextrin is used, and whether the shell is gelatin or plant-based HPMC, which decides vegan and halal suitability. Capsules ship in HDPE bottles or blisters, kept dry below 25 °C. Ask for a CoA per batch and a GMP or HACCP certificate for supplement production. In your enquiry, state strength, PAC level, shell, count per pack and your market's category.
