Cran-Max Cranberry - How it Works

Background

Cranberry has been used for hundreds of years in the maintenance of good health. Recent research has found it to be especially supportive in the maintenance of urinary tract health*. It is an excellent source of important protector nutrients, including organic acids, proanthocyanidins and other powerful antioxidant compounds. Here is why this special formula is different from other cranberry products:

Advanced herbal delivery system™ Cran-Max™ processing provides a superior product. Unlike all other cranberry formulations, it is highly concentrated and processed in a unique low-heat, solvent-free, non-enzymatic environment which maintains more of the active components found in the whole cranberry. Many of these important nutrients can be easily damaged during processing and while passing through the stomach. Our patent-pending process results in a completely natural delivery system which protects delicate ingredients through the stomach until they reach the intestinal tract for proper absorption. This delivery system then slowly releases the ingredients at the site of absorption for maximum efficiency and utilization. Because of the advances provided by this delivery system, patients need to take JUST ONE CAPSULE PER DAY – not the usual six to 12 capsules or 10 ounces of sugar-laden juice.

The Need To Consider Quality:

Of the magnesium supplements tested by ConsumerLab.com, 25% failed to meet quality standards. One magnesium supplement contained only 45.4% of labeled amount, despite boasting a "GMP" (Good Manufacturing Practices) seal on its label, and another supplement provided only 28.8% of the labeled amount.

Tests by ConsumerLab.com have found multivitamins that were short on ingredients, failed to dissolve properly, or were contaminated with heavy metals.
ConsumerLab.com, New Product Review: Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplements, Posted 4/1/09

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that manufacturing problems have been associated with dietary supplements. Products been recalled because of microbiological, pesticide, and heavy metal contamination, and because they do not contain the dietary ingredients they are represented to contain, or they contain more or less than the amount of dietary ingredient claimed on the label.
