Why do you need cranberry powder?
Cranberries are small red berries. Compared with ordinary fruits, the special ingredients in cranberries can also provide a variety of health benefits such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, regulation of intestinal flora, and regulation of blood pressure and blood glucose by interacting with probiotics in the human body.
Antibacterial Benefits of cranberry powder
contain high levels of proanthocyanidins, flavonols, and hydroxycinnamic acid, which in the body prevent bacterial adhesion and aggregation at mucous membranes, less biofilm formation, and thus reduce inflammation.
Proanthocyanidins achieve antibacterial effects by interfering with bacterial aggregation in the early stages of infection and preventing bacteria from multiplying to form biofilms - the widespread hydroxyl structure of proanthocyanidins promotes the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which causes small molecules to aggregate and interact with receptors on cell surfaces, interfering with bacterial adhesion to each other and impeding the formation of bacterial in the human body in the oral cavity, stomach, urinary tract, female vagina, small intestine and colon and other parts of the formation of biofilm.
Cranberry Extract also contains non-phenolic compounds such as isoprenoids, ursolic acid and xyloglucan, as well as active ingredients such as arabinoglucan, which, in combination with proanthocyanidins, are more effective in preventing bacterial adhesion to epithelial cells and the formation of biofilms.
Regulation of intestinal flora metabolism
The balance of intestinal flora is one of the key factors in human health, they affect the utilisation and metabolism of food components. And the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier provides effective resistance to harmful microorganisms in food and the environment.
When the daily diet is high in saturated fat and sugar intake and low in fibre intake, it can lead to impaired dysfunction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, increasing intestinal permeability and making it easier for bacterial endotoxins to enter the body.
Cranberry extract can alleviate intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction and chronic inflammation caused by an unbalanced diet, and reduce plasma levels of endotoxin, TNF-α and other inflammatory factors.
Boosting Lipid Metabolism
In a trial involving 30 patients with type 2 diabetes, patients who took cranberry extract daily for 12 weeks experienced a decrease in both LDL and total cholesterol levels in their bodies.
Studies have proven that cranberry extract helps promote lipid metabolism, lower blood pressure, and regulate blood sugar metabolism.
The effects of cranberries on human health are achieved through the plant polyphenols and other active ingredients in them. Fresh cranberries and freeze-dried cranberry powder contain higher levels of active ingredients compared to cranberry juice, dried cranberries and jams, and more active ingredients are found in the skin of cranberries than in the pulp.
Since fresh cranberries are difficult to store for long periods of time and transport over long distances, whole cranberry freeze-dried powder/extract is the most convenient and effective option for maintaining the active ingredients in cranberries.
