Active Compound Cranberry seed oil — balanced omega-3, omega-6, omega-9 + tocotrienols + phytosterols

Benefits

Balanced Omega Fatty Acid Profile

Cranberry seed oil unique among plant oils for providing balanced omega-3 (ALA), omega-6 (linoleic acid), and omega-9 (oleic acid) — approximately 1:1 omega-6:omega-3 ratio.

Supported by Trial 2

Tocotrienol (Vitamin E) Content

Cranberry seed oil contains tocotrienols (less common vitamin E family member) — emerging research for cardiovascular and antioxidant applications.

Supported by Trial 2, Trial 1

Phytosterol Content

Plant sterols may modestly support cholesterol management.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Skin Health Applications

Topical and oral use for skin nourishment; antioxidant and fatty acid support.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Sustainable / Upcycled

Cranberry seeds typically discarded after juice production; Luravida upcycles into premium ingredient — circular economy positioning.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Antioxidant Activity

Tocotrienols and other oil components provide antioxidant defense.

Mechanism of action

1

Balanced Omega Ratio

Modern Western diet typically has 15:1 or higher omega-6:omega-3 ratio; balanced 1:1 ratio products may help support healthier overall fatty acid balance.

2

Tocotrienol Activity

Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols (more common vitamin E) in side chain structure; documented effects on cholesterol metabolism, antioxidant activity, neuroprotection.

3

Phytosterol Cholesterol Effects

Plant sterols compete with dietary cholesterol for intestinal absorption — modest cholesterol-lowering effects.

4

Antioxidant Composition

Combined tocotrienols + phytosterols + polyphenols from seed oil provide antioxidant support.
