The Choice for Sports Recovery
CherryCraft® is a premium brand produced from a special variety of European tart cherries called Vistula, the name of the longest and largest river in Poland.
The CherryCraft® Difference: Vistula vs. Montmorency
Vistula cherries were selected for the production of CherryCraft® because of their high levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols. The high polyphenol and anthocyanin content in the Vistula raw material makes it possible to standardize CherryCraft® at higher concentration levels – higher than those of other cherry products on the market. This makes CherryCraft® the natural first choice for your product.
CherryCraft® is extracted from the cherries using an exclusive technology (Iprona Polyphenol Technology – IPT) that treats fruits gently without using any chemical solvents. The result? A one-of-a-kind premium ingredient that maintains more of the natural fruit profile.
THE EXCLUSIVE IPRONA TECHNOLOGY
IPT is a fully mechanical, chemical solvent-free ultra-filtration process for separating and enriching the active molecules found in berries. IPT complies with the most stringent quality standards and features specially designed membranes with different pore sizes that separate molecules in pressed fruit juice based on their size. Polyphenols, anthocyanins and other large molecules go in one direction, while sugars, mineral salts and other small molecules go in another. In doing so, IPT enriches without harsh chemical solvents, creating an authentic, high-quality extract that retains the entire fruit matrix.
