Description

The anatomy of the female urinary tract differs greatly from men, resulting in the need for additional nutritional support for women. A wealth of published studies indicates that cranberry polyphenols may help to support a healthy urinary tract.^73-77

Cranberries have been known for decades to promote a healthy urinary tract. Clinical research demonstrates that cranberries’ proanthocyanidins are powerful antioxidants that can reduce oxidative stress.⁸³ A double-blind comparison study confirms that Cran-Max® helps support a healthy urinary tract.⁸⁴ Each Life Extension Cran-Max® capsule contains 500 mg of cranberry concentrate to promote urinary tract health.^85-96 Each Cran-Max® capsule also contains:

• The synergistic, complete spectrum activity of the entire cranberry whole fruit
• A unique delivery system that protects its cranberry constituents from degradation
• Antioxidants

Cran-Max® contains concentrated cranberry made from the complete cranberry using a unique, patent-pending process. No sugar is added. Each capsule of Cran-Max® contains powerful polyphenols, organic acids, and antioxidants, providing the same benefits as drinking cranberry juice cocktail, but without the calories. An advantage of Life Extension’s Cran-Max® is that it only requires once a day dosing!
