Naturex ~ Pacran® Cranberry Powder

SAGAMORE, Mass.Specialty ingredient manufacturer Naturex launched its new organic cranberry powder Pacran® for urinary tract health. This product is USDA National Organic Product (NOP) certified and is supported by six U.S. and three international patents.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major health problem affecting a number of individuals each year. According to Naturex, almost half of all women will be exposed to UTI at least once in their life and one in every three women who already suffer from a UTI will experience recurrence within one year.

Pacran® is a 100-percent all natural whole cranberry powder and has been clinically proven to have urinary tract health benefits.

"Pacran® Organic is the only clinically supported, health claim substantiated cranberry powder available in an organic format," said Dan Souza, senior director of sales and marketing at Naturex. "Like conventional Pacran®, Pacran® Organic uses a proprietary blend of the whole fruit to deliver the full spectrum benefits of the whole cranberry."

Last November, Naturex was granted a U.S. patent for its extraction of a Fraxinus-based ingredient used to fight metabolic syndrome.
