Cranberry
In Praise of the Humble Cranberry
Both the crushed berries and the juice have a long history of medicinal use. Native American Indians have traditionally eaten Cranberries as a food, as well as consumed them to support bladder and kidney health.
Cranberry fruit is a source of antioxidants that contribute to the maintenance of good health.
Studies have shown that Cranberries possess anti-adhesion properties which help reduce the adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract. This helps to reduce the adherence of bacteria to the urinary tract.
Swisse uses Pacran®, an ingredient that is exclusive to Swisse in Australia. Made from the whole Cranberry fruit, Pacran® is a proprietary Cranberry ingredient.
Cranberries contain several key compounds, which appear to be effective in supporting urinary tract health. In addition to its high PAC (proanthocyanidins) content, Pacran® contains other important compounds, such as polyphenols and fiber.
Swisse sources the majority of its cranberries from the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, where they thrive and have had the same families oversee many farms for over one hundred years. Other Cranberries are grown in Canada. This partnership yields superior results and the best quality in the world.
