Organic Cranberry Protein

Organic cranberry protein is derived from cranberries, a fruit native to North America. The protein is typically extracted from the dried pulp and seeds left over after cranberry juice production. This process concentrates the protein content from the whole cranberry.

Manufacturers add organic cranberry protein to boost the protein content of food products. It is often found in plant-based protein powders, meal replacement supplements, and energy drinks. Its inclusion can enhance the nutritional profile of these items.

Organic cranberry protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of plant-based protein and may contain beneficial compounds found in cranberries, such as antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated proteins generally, but specific evaluations for cranberry protein are not widely published. Evidence on specific health benefits or risks at typical dietary intakes is limited.
