Why cranberry?
The majority of physicians and other health professionals believe that there is a clear association between a diet high in fruits and vegetables and a low risk of chronic disease. Phytonutrients (naturally derived plant compounds), particularly antioxidants, are increasingly being shown to help optimize human health.
Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) that can prevent the adhesion of certain of bacteria, including E. coli, associated with urinary tract infections to the urinary tract wall. The anti-adhesion properties of cranberry may also inhibit the bacteria associated with gum disease and stomach ulcers.
Recent scientific research shows that cranberries and cranberry products contain significant amounts of antioxidants and other phytonutrients that may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

What's different about our chews.
Unlike typical confectionery chews, ellactiva cranberry chews are made with a proprietary formula high in fibres but with lower levels of fat and sugar. We then combine our chews with Cranmax®, a highly concentrated extract of cranberry juice packed with all the healthy nutrients contained in cranberries like Vitamin C, dietary fibre, antioxidants and phytochemical nutrients.
Cranmax® is the only cranberry extract available which uses 34 kilograms of whole fresh cranberries to produce one kilogram of CranMax® cranberry extract giving it 3 times greater antioxidant activity than cranberry juice and 25% more fibre.
