NEW CLINICAL EVIDENCE
The path to urinary health is clear
The scientific heritage of Anthocran® combines with another milestone technology by Indena, as Phytosome® provides its unique formulation advantage to the iconic cranberry extract.
The new functional ingredient has already proved its value in delivering the whole bouquet of cranberries’ benefits to the body, actively promoting urinary tract health.1,2,3
Furthermore, Anthocran® Phytosome® delivering 9 mg of PACs (proanthocyanidins) has proved to be as effective as unformulated products containing 36 mg of them. This is thanks to Phytosome® technology, which is able to optimize the bioabsorption of phytoactive compounds and their delivery to target tissues.1,2,3

Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Urinary tract infections (or UTIs in short) are among the most frequent infections worldwide and can be especially challenging due to re-occurrence.
In this field, among the many available products on the market, Anthocran® Phytosome® is the new benchmark for cranberry extracts, thanks to its standardized nature and accountable PACs content.*
Now, the latest news is the development and testing of Anthocran® Phytosome® with an optimized pharmacokinetic profile and enhanced performance.2,3
For the first time, the use of an innovative analytic method has allowed for the identification of valeric acids and valerolactons – which are predicted metabolites of PACs – in human urines after cranberry intake, shining a bright new light on urinary tract wellbeing.2

Anthocran® Phytosome® into action
Scientific evidence supports the claim that Anthocran® Phytosome® is the next game changer in urinary tract health maintenance. In particular, compared to standard treatments, the supplementation of the ingredient in subjects that required post-surgical catheterization favorably rebalanced the urinary tract epithelium and achieved zero UTI re-occurrence.3
Moreover, ex-vivo data confirmed the inhibitory activity of the ingredient on the adhesion of Candida albicans to the urinary tract, proving Anthocran® Phytosome® is a valid aid in keeping one of the most common pathogens under control.2
