True Life Sciences Cran Powder

True Life Sciences Cran Powder is an oral health supplement made from cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) powder, supplied as a loose powder for mixing with water, juice, or a smoothie. It is registered in Malaysia as a health supplement rather than a registered medicine, and does not contain any pharmaceutical active ingredient. The product is intended for adults who wish to include cranberry powder as part of their daily routine.

Cranberries have been consumed as a food and traditional dietary supplement for a long time, and cranberry-based powders and extracts are widely available in Malaysia and Singapore. This product is formulated from cranberry fruit without added fillers, and the exact standardisation (such as proanthocyanidin content) should be checked on the product label, as this can vary between cranberry supplement brands.

Mix one serving of the powder into a glass of water, juice, or a smoothie and stir well before drinking. May be taken with or without food. For consistency, take it around the same time each day if using daily.

Adults: approximately 1 teaspoon (about 3 grams) mixed into a drink, once or twice daily, or as advised by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the serving amount stated on the product label. This supplement is not intended for children unless specifically advised by a doctor or pharmacist.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Reseal the container tightly after each use and keep out of reach of children.

• Common: Mild stomach upset or nausea, particularly when first starting the supplement.
• Common: A change in urine colour or odour, which is a harmless effect of cranberry consumption.
• Rare: Allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to cranberries or related fruits – discontinue use and seek medical advice if this occurs.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to cranberries or related fruits.
• History of calcium oxalate kidney stones, as cranberry products contain oxalates and may not be suitable without medical advice.
• This is a dietary supplement and is not intended to replace prescribed medical treatment for any diagnosed condition.

• Cranberry products may interact with the blood-thinning medicine warfarin, potentially affecting its anticoagulant effect; patients on warfarin should consult their doctor or pharmacist before regular use.
• May interact with certain medications processed by the liver; inform your pharmacist of all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• No significant food interactions are known; the powder can be mixed with most beverages.

• Stir the powder thoroughly so it dissolves evenly into your drink.
• Keep the container tightly sealed to protect the powder from moisture.
• Take note of the serving size on the label rather than estimating by eye.
• Inform your doctor that you are taking this supplement before any blood-thinning medication is prescribed.
• Store away from heat sources such as stoves or direct sunlight.
• Check the expiry date before each new container is opened.

Precautions: This is a dietary supplement, not a substitute for prescribed medical treatment. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney stones, or have existing health conditions should consult a doctor before regular use.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek medical advice if you experience persistent stomach discomfort, signs of an allergic reaction, or if you have a diagnosed urinary or kidney condition that requires ongoing medical management.
