The beneficial effects were observed after just four days of consuming the extract. (View Highlight)
health benefits, which are mainly attributed to their high content of polyphenols, in the form of tannins, and oligosaccharides, small fibres that contribute to their bioactivity (View Highlight)
these compounds in cranberry extract stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia muciniphila. (View Highlight)
The Western diet is known to alter the gut microbiome, causing inflammation and compromising the intestinal barrier. This can lead to the passage of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from the gut microbiota, a condition known as metabolic endotoxemia, which is a crucial factor in the onset and progression of inflammation and metabolic diseases.

By stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, cranberry extracts can help regenerate the microbiota and create an anti-inflammatory environment, strengthening the intestinal barrier and potentially improving the prognosis of chronic diseases. (View Highlight)
