Cranberry Extract

Cranberry extract, especially standardized for proanthocyanidins, has been shown in research to prevent certain bacteria from adhering to tooth enamel and forming biofilms. This makes it harder for harmful bacteria to form plaque and cause cavities. It can also help disable bacteria's acid-producing mechanisms, supporting a healthier oral environment. For product comparison, Cranberry Extract should be checked by exact form, plant part or compound type, standardization, amount per serving, and whether it is listed as an active ingredient, other ingredient, or part of a blend. Useful database notes include what it is used for, where it occurs naturally or how it is commonly sourced, and what shoppers should verify on the Supplement Facts label.
