Dried and crushed cranberry is an easy way to bring the natural compounds of berries into the diet as part of a balanced diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1306\" data-start=\"979\"\u003eThe urinary tract is part of the animal's normal physiology, and its function is related to the overall diet and fluid intake. Berry-based raw materials, such as cranberry, are traditionally used as part of a varied diet when you want to add organic acids and phenolic compounds typical of berries to the diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1597\" data-start=\"1308\"\u003eAccording to the literature, the flavonoid content of cranberry is typically around 1500–4000 mg\/kg and consists of several polyphenolic compounds such as quercetin and myricetin. Anthocyanins are present at approximately 50–300 mg\/kg. These compounds are part of the berry's natural chemical structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1905\" data-start=\"1599\"\u003eCranberry also naturally contains vitamin C. In dried berries, the amount of vitamin C varies depending on the raw material and drying method. In addition, cranberry contains small amounts of B, D, E, K, and A vitamins as well as minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2185\" data-start=\"1907\"\u003eAs a pectin-rich fibre source, cranberry adds soluble fibre to the diet as part of a varied whole. The organic acids of cranberry belong to the berry's natural composition and together with fibres and polyphenols form its characteristic nutritional profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 % dried cranberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDosage:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorses (approx. 500 kg):\u003cbr\u003e1–4 tbsp per day as part of the diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogs:\u003cbr\u003e1 tsp – 1 tbsp per day depending on size and diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement info:\u003cbr\u003e1 tbsp = approx. 6 g\u003cbr\u003e1 dl = approx. 40 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrients (average):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 g of dried cranberry contains on average:\u003cbr\u003eEnergy approx. 205 kJ, Carbohydrates approx. 11,7 g, Fat approx. 0,7 g, Protein approx. 0,4 g, Fibre approx. 20–30 g \/ 100 g (naturally contains pectin approx. 3–7 g), Vitamin C approx. 1–5 mg,\u003cbr\u003eFlavonoids approx. 150–400 mg \/ 100 g (equivalent to approx. 1500–4000 mg\/kg), Organic acids approx. 2–5 g \/ 100 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Natural variation in content typical of natural products possible depending on the raw material, harvest, and drying method.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground information and studies (dogs)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following research references concern compounds contained in the plant and their research history.
