Cranberry Extract Powder (Vaccinium macrocarpon) — Bulk B2B Supplier
Cranberry extract powder is a water-soluble 20:1 extract of Vaccinium macrocarpon fruit, standardised to 2.5% proanthocyanidins (PACs) and 40% D-mannose — the two markers most often specified for women’s-health and urinary-tract formulations. It is manufactured in bulk by Bionutricia Extract (Bionutricia Manufacturing Sdn Bhd), a Malaysian manufacturer operating under FSSC 22000, GMP, HACCP and MeSTI in a JAKIM-certified halal facility, with a Certificate of Analysis on every lot.

What is cranberry extract powder?
Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is the fruit of a low, trailing shrub in the subgenus Oxycoccus, prized for a dense load of polyphenols — in particular the A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) that distinguish cranberry from most other berries. Bionutricia’s cranberry extract powder is a 20:1 extract of the fruit, concentrated and dried into a stable, light pink, water-soluble powder standardised to 2.5% PACs and 40% D-mannose. Standardising to defined marker levels gives formulators a consistent, dosable ingredient rather than the variable actives of dried fruit or juice, whose PAC content swings with cultivar, season and processing.
What is it used for in formulation?
Cranberry extract is one of the most widely specified botanicals in women’s-health and urinary-tract-support ranges, where brand owners formulate around its proanthocyanidin and D-mannose content; it is also used broadly as an antioxidant/polyphenol ingredient and a natural fruit note in functional food and beverage. Because it is water-soluble it disperses cleanly into powder and beverage systems, and it is dosed at a low inclusion rate — typically 2–8%, with supplement servings commonly in the 250–500 mg range depending on the format and target marker load. Bionutricia supplies the bulk ingredient for B2B formulation; brand owners and manufacturers formulate it into their chosen finished format — capsules, tablets, gummies, sachets, effervescents, beverages, bakery or confectionery.

Frequently asked questions
What is the extraction ratio of your cranberry extract? 20:1, calculated on dried raw fruit. The PAC and D-mannose levels for the specific lot you receive are stated on that lot’s Certificate of Analysis.
What is it standardised to? 2.5% proanthocyanidins (PACs) and 40% D-mannose. If your formulation requires a different marker level, raise it at enquiry stage so we can confirm exactly what is committed before you formulate.
Is it water-soluble? Yes. It is a soluble powder that disperses into water-based systems, so it works in beverage powders, sachets and drink blends as well as in dry-blended formats.
What is cranberry extract used for? It is most often formulated into women’s-health and urinary-tract-support products around its PAC and D-mannose content, and used more broadly as an antioxidant/polyphenol ingredient and natural fruit note. We supply the ingredient; the finished-product positioning and claims are the brand owner’s responsibility.
Is it halal? It is manufactured in Bionutricia’s JAKIM-certified halal facility under a full halal quality system, alongside FSSC 22000, GMP, HACCP and MeSTI. Halal documentation is provided with the shipment.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis for every lot? Yes — covering appearance, moisture, marker levels, heavy metals and microbial results for that batch, not a “typical” document. See our guide to reading a botanical extract CoA.
What pack sizes and lead times are available? Standard packs are 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg and 5 kg. Volumes, lead times and pricing are quoted at enquiry stage against your specification.
What finished formats can it be used in? We supply the bulk ingredient only. Our customers formulate it into capsules, tablets, gummies, sachets, effervescents, beverages, bakery and confectionery — the choice of finished format is theirs.
