Cranberry Fruit Extract Proanthocyanidins

What Is Cranberry Fruit Extract Proanthocyanidins

Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium. Its leaves are round or obovate, the flowers are white or reddish, and the berries are round and purple-red. Cranberry is a fruit with high antioxidant capacity among common fruits, containing hypericin, pentahydroxyflavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and other beneficial active ingredients to the human body. Proanthocyanidins are a general term for a large class of polyphenols widely existing in plants. Their common feature is that anthocyanins can be produced by heating in acidic media, so they are called proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins, a pigment component in plants, are polymers formed by condensation of different amounts of catechin or epicatechin via C-C bonds, also known as condensed tannins. According to the different degree of polymerization of proanthocyanidins, they can be divided into monomer, oligomeric and high polymeric proanthocyanidins, in which dimer is the most widely distributed. The simplest proanthocyanidins are catechins, epicatechins, or dimers formed by catechins and epicatechins, in addition to trimers, tetramers, and so on up to decamers. Proanthocyanidins are is reddish brown powder, soluble in methanol, acetone and other organic solvents, with excellent antioxidant properties, and are widely used in medicine, health care products, cosmetics and other fields.

How Cranberry Fruit Extract Proanthocyanidins Works

Proanthocyanidins can effectively eliminate superoxide anion free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, and also participate in the metabolism of phosphoric acid and arachidonic acid and protein phosphorylation, protecting lipids from peroxidation damage. It is also a powerful metal chelator that can chelate metal ions to form inert compounds in the body. It can also protect and stabilize vitamin C, and help the absorption and utilization of vitamin C.

Health Benefits of Cranberry Fruit Extract Proanthocyanidins

Proanthocyanidins has been associated with an array of potential health benefits, such as Antioxidant Capacity, Protecting Eyesight, Improving Brain Function, Skin Care and so on, here we will browes some of its important Health Benefits as below:
Antioxidant Activity
Proanthocyanidins have strong antioxidant activity and are a good free radical scavenger and lipid peroxidation inhibitor. The mechanism of action is that multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups in the structure of proanthocyanidins release H+ in the body and competitively bind with free radicals, thus protecting lipids from oxidation and blocking free radical chain reaction. Moreover, the semi-quinone free radical produced after the reaction can form a polymer with catechuic acid and pyrophenol structure through nucleophilic addition reaction, which still has strong antioxidant activity. The experiment confirmed that the free radical scavenging activity of proanthocyanidins and their metabolites is generally stronger than VC and VE.
Protecting Eyesight
Diabetic retinopathy, a sign of diabetes, is caused by small blood capillary bleeding in the eye and is a common cause of blindness in adults. France has allowed proanthocyanidins to treat the disease for many years. This method significantly reduces capillary bleeding in the eye and improves vision. Proanthocyanidins have also been used to prevent complications after cataract surgery in diabetic patients.
Improving Brain Function
Proanthocyanidins can help improve memory, slow aging and the risk of stroke. Even after a stroke, proanthocyanidins can help improve memory and brain function, a fact that has been proven in clinical studies. For example, hyperactivity disorder (or hyperactivity disorder) in children is often treated with a western medicine called Ritilan. This western medicine has the side effect of stunting the growth of children, and patients may become dependent on it, and once they stop taking it, patients will suffer from increased appetite, depression and lethargy. Some reports suggest that replacing Ritilan with a natural proanthocyanidin supplement is both effective and safe.
Skin Care
Proanthocyanidins have unique chemical and physiological activities and have many protective and repairing effects on the skin. Proanthocyanidins can restore the vitality of collagen and make the skin smooth and elastic. Proanthocyanidins also have anti-wrinkle effects, because it can maintain collagen synthesis, can effectively inhibit elastase, help the body protect collagen and improve the elasticity of the skin, thereby reducing the generation of wrinkles. Proanthocyanidins also have strong ultraviolet absorption, can make the pigment fade, inhibit the reaction due to the amino group of protein and nucleic acid amino group, prevent the formation of lipofuscin, age spots to achieve whitening. In addition to anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet, whitening effects, proanthocyanidins also have anti-radiation, moisturizing effects.
Other Functions
In addition to the above effects, proanthocyanidins can also improve blood circulation, treat diabetic retinopathy, reduce edema and inhibit varicose veins, accelerate the breakdown and elimination of harmful cholesterol, help joints, arteries and other tissues (such as the heart) to maintain normal function, reduce premenstrual syndrome and other effects.

Cranberry Fruit Extract Proanthocyanidins Side Effects

Excessive intake of proanthocyanidins can cause stomach pain, fatigue, drowsiness, and lethargy, and can lower blood pressure. Too much proanthocyanidins are not recommended for people with low blood pressure. Excessive intake of proanthocyanidins is also easy to cause diarrhea, so it is recommended not to take blindly, it is best to take under the guidance of a doctor.
