Cranberry Supplements: Juice Powder, PAC Claims and Urinary Context
Cranberry Complex contains cranberry juice powder with uva ursi, crataeva and buchu oil. Its cranberry weight does not establish a standardized proanthocyanidin amount or make the whole formula equivalent to a single-ingredient cranberry preparation.
Compare the exact preparation and labeled serving
The checked tablet contains 100 mg cranberry fruit juice powder from 2.5 g fresh fruit, alongside the other botanicals. It does not separately declare a PAC amount. Keep powder, fruit equivalent and full combination distinct.
The amounts below reproduce the inspected manufacturer online panel. They describe labeled servings, not an individualized regimen. Confirm your selected package and review the full ingredient list and dietary attributes on the product page.

What the ingredient evidence can establish
Cranberry products may reduce recurrent urinary infection risk in some populations, but findings vary. NCCIH clearly distinguishes that prevention question from treatment of an existing urinary infection.
Processing and preparation affect cranberry constituents. An original-fruit equivalent cannot be converted into a PAC amount when none is declared. Evidence for cranberry alone does not establish the safety or effect of its companion herbs.

Review suitability, medicines and the whole formula
Suspected infection requires diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Review warfarin and other medicines, pregnancy or nursing, and the full manufacturer's uva-ursi-containing formula cautions with a clinician.
Ask whether the goal is recurrent-infection prevention or current symptoms. Do not use cranberry products in place of proven treatment for an existing infection.
