Cran-Max® Whole Cranberry Concentrate
Supports Healthy Urinary Tract Function, And Other Health Benefits
 

No holiday table would be complete... without cranberries of one sort or another. There are whole cranberries, cranberry juices, sauces, and all kinds of breads, cakes and relishes. But not only does the cranberry add to festivities, it brings many health benefits.

Health benefits
American Indians used cranberries as a preparation for dressing wounds. The benefit, we know now, lay in the abundant polyphenol content including condensed tannins and smaller OPCs.

Colonial sailors used cranberries to prevent scurvy. Cranberries succeeded due to their rich content of vitamin C and vitamin P constituents (i.e. polyphenols and organic acids).

The cranberry is an antioxidant cocktail.

Directions
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) or two (2) Cran-Max® capsules per day.
If two capsules are used, take second 12 hours after the first.

What is Cran-Max®?™
Cran-Max® is made from 100% pure cranberries. It is produced from pure cranberry fiber, infused with cranberry juice concentrate through a proprietary process. This process enhances and intensifies the natural beneficial constituents of the whole cranberry without the addition of sugars, preservatives, flavorings, or coatings. Cran-Max®, therefore, contains all of the nutritional factors present in whole cranberry without the sugar found in cranberry juice beverages.

Significant health benefits are obtained by using the WHOLE cranberry:
The distribution of OPCs in cranberry fruit and cocktail is very similar to that found in grapeseed and pine bark extracts.
In Cran-Max®, the OPCs are concentrated to exceed the potency of pine bark extracts (60%) and match the finest grapeseed extracts.
Cran-Max® is a better free radical scavenger than Vitamin E or cranberry juice.*
Ellagic acid is a highly significant component of Cran-Max®. One 500 mg. capsule of Cran-Max® should deliver at least 8.5 milligrams of ellagic acid.

Cran-Max® has been shown to nutritionally support healthy urinary tract function by inhibiting the ability of E. coli bacteria to adhere to the linings of the urinary tract. Earlier studies had shown that 10 oz. of cranberry juice cocktail has a positive effect on maintaining a healthy urinary tract. One Cran-Max® capsule has greater bioactivity and more concentrated whole cranberry factors than 10 oz. of cranberry juice cocktail.*

U.T. Vibrance
Helps Support Healthy Urinary Tract Function

Mannose & Botanicals

Vibrant Health’s unique combination of ingredients delivers enhanced value to dietary supplementation with Mannose.

Why not maximize your chances for long term urinary tract health?

Vibrant Health’s U.T. Vibrance combines European D-mannose with carefully selected botanical extracts and powders traditionally used to support healthy urinary tract function. It comes in both tablets and as a mildly sweet tasting powder that mixes easily in any number of your favorite beverages.

Mannose is a sugar that passes through the human system un-metabolized. Once absorbed, it finds its way to the kidneys to be passed in the urine.

Whole cranberry and blueberry as well as dandelion, parsley, bearberry, golden seal and golden rod have also been traditionally used to nutritionally support healthy urinary tract function. Modern science now tells us the organic acids and proanthocyanidins of these botanicals may complement Mannose in helping maintain a healthy urinary tract.

D-Mannose at doses of 8 to 20 grams per day help support a healthy urinary tract. Whole cranberry and blueberry help by contributing their active factors from skin, pulp, seeds and juice, including quinic, caffeic and other organic acids, condensed tannins, OPC’s, antioxidants and fiber. To these are added botanicals traditionally used to support U.T. health.

Directions
Powder: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) teaspoon (5.725 grams) every 3 to 4 waking hours in water, blueberry or cranberry juice. Do this daily until the contents of the jar have been consumed. Drink plenty of fluids.

Tablets: As a dietary supplement, take five (5) tablets every 3 to 4 waking hours with water, blueberry or cranberry juice. Do this daily until the contents of the jar have been consumed. Drink plenty of fluids.
