About Shanstar

Vaccinium macrocarpon, more commonly known as the American Cranberry, is one of only a hand-full of fruits that is solely indigenous to North America. The cranberry was first collected centuries ago by Native Americans, who knew the berries were a good source for food and herbal medicine.

Now the benefits of cranberries are well recognized by the scientific community, with the health effects demonstrated in clinical trials. ShanStar® Biotech offers a proprietary and complete range of cranberry-based ingredients and concentrated extracts, so that the many health benefits of this important Super Fruit, can be enjoyed by all. And the benefits could surprise you: depending on the Shanstar® ingredient, benefits range from supporting a positive urinary function, to a rich source of antioxidants, phenolics, Omega 3’s and even plant based protein!
