Ecogenya Cranberry Extract 10% PAC Powder – Standardized Proanthocyanidins, Vaccinium macrocarpon
Couldn't load pickup availability
Not all cranberry powders are equal. Ours is a concentrated extract standardized to 10% proanthocyanidins, or PACs, which are the polyphenols cranberry is best known for and the reason standardization matters when you are comparing products.
Because it is standardized, every batch delivers a consistent PAC level rather than the variable amounts you get from plain juice powder. The powder is deep red, naturally tart, and mixes easily into water, smoothies or your own capsules and formulations.
- Standardization: 10% proanthocyanidins (PACs)
- Botanical: Vaccinium macrocarpon (fruit)
- Format: fine powder
- Sizes: 36 g, 100 g, 250 g and 500 g, plus 1 kg, 6 kg and 10 kg bulk
- Vegan and non-GMO, with no added sugar, fillers or preservatives
- Made in Canada from imported ingredients
Who it is for: anyone who already keeps cranberry in their daily routine, home formulators who want a measurable PAC content, and supplement brands sourcing standardized bulk material.
How to use: mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon into water, juice or a smoothie once daily, or encapsulate it yourself. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication, speak with your healthcare practitioner first.
The Ecogenya difference: Canadian owned, Made in Canada from imported ingredients, third-party tested for heavy metals with the Certificate of Analysis available on this page, and a tree planted with every purchase.

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores
There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
