What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Cran-Max Cranberry contains one active ingredient: cranberry fruit extract, used traditionally to support urinary tract health. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—sunflower lecithin, cranberry fiber, cranberry seed oil, and guar gum—that serve as fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promote urinary tract health and antioxidant support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Overactive bladder, Urinary odor, Catheter-related infections, Radiation-induced cystitis, bladder health — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Cranberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cranberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary odor, Overactive bladder, Catheter-related infections, Radiation-induced cystitis.

The evidence supports cranberry for urinary tract infections (UTIs), where it's rated possibly effective—meaning there's reasonable support but it's not a sure thing. For other uses—age-related cognitive decline, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), cancer prevention, fatty liver disease, and chronic fatigue—the evidence we have isn't enough to rate whether it works.

If you're considering cranberry for a UTI, talk it over with your doctor about whether it makes sense for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cranberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cranberry is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, and normal food amounts are likely fine. The most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach discomfort.

In clinical trials, some people reported nausea, vomiting, and abdominal upset, especially at higher doses or with sustained use over weeks. Very large doses—several liters of juice daily—can cause significant gastrointestinal upset, particularly in young children.

Cranberry in normal food amounts is likely safe, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been studied as thoroughly. The data on pregnancy and lactation shows cranberry is likely safe, but because concentrated supplements are less well studied than food amounts, it's worth checking with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Cranberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 713 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Cran-Max Cranberry, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners like warfarin (Moderately interact), cholesterol drugs like atorvastatin (Moderately interact), blood pressure medications like nifedipine (Moderately interact), or pain relievers like diclofenac (Minor interaction). These are the main medication types where interactions are documented.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cran-Max Cranberry may help with UTI prevention, though it's not a guarantee—and it's not a substitute for medical treatment if an infection develops. The main caution is with blood thinners and certain heart and cholesterol medications, which may interact moderately with cranberry.

Most people tolerate it well, but stomach upset can happen, especially at higher doses. Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, particularly if you take any prescription medications.

Cranberry fruit extract6 drug types · 712 drugs

Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase levels and adverse effects of atorvastatin.
In one case report, a patient taking atorvastatin experienced upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function after drinking cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, this may have been caused by inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes by cranberry juice, as atorvastatin is a CYP3A4 substrate. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Patients taking atorvastatin should avoid large quantities of cranberry juice.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
A case of upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function has been reported for a patient taking atorvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate, in combination with cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Also, animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine, a CYP3A4 substrate, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nifedipine (Procardia)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of nifedipine.
Animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine treatment, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of warfarin. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry juice on warfarin. Case reports have linked cranberry juice consumption to increases in the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients taking warfarin, resulting in severe spontaneous bleeding and excessive postoperative bleeding. Daily consumption of cranberry sauce for one week has also been linked to an increase in INR in one case report. In a small study in healthy young males, taking a high dose of 3 grams of cranberry juice concentrate capsules, equivalent to 57 grams of fruit daily, for 2 weeks produced a 30% increase in the area under the INR-time curve after a single 25-mg dose of warfarin. However, 3 very small clinical studies in patients stabilized on warfarin reported that cranberry juice 250 mL once or twice daily for 7 days (27% cranberry juice or pure cranberry juice) or 240 mL once daily for 14 days does not significantly increase INR or affect plasma warfarin levels. The reasons for these discrepant findings are unclear. It is possible that the form and dose of cranberry may play a role, as cranberry extracts and juices contain different constituents. Additionally, an in vitro study evaluating 5 different cranberry juices found varying effects, with only a cranberry concentrate, and not diluted cranberry juices, inhibiting CYP2C9. However, this concentrate did not inhibit CYP2C9 activity in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry on CYP2C9 enzymes. In vitro evidence suggests that flavonoids in cranberry inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, clinical research shows that cranberry juice does not significantly affect the levels, metabolism, or elimination of the CYP2C9 substrates flurbiprofen or diclofenac. Also, in patients stabilized on warfarin, drinking cranberry juice 250 mL daily for 7 days does not significantly increase the anticoagulant activity of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Additional pharmacokinetic research shows that cranberry juice does not increase peak plasma concentrations or area under the concentration-time curve of warfarin.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Others)

Theoretically, cranberry might modestly increase the levels and adverse effects of diclofenac.
In vitro evidence suggests that cranberry juice inhibits diclofenac metabolism by human liver microsomes. However, drinking cranberry juice does not seem to affect diclofenac metabolism in humans.

Cran-Max Cranberry by Anabolic Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Cran-Max Cranberry by Anabolic Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cran-Max Cranberry has a known interaction with 712 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cran-Max Cranberry contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will cranberry actually prevent UTIs?
The evidence supports cranberry as possibly effective for urinary tract infections, which means there's reasonable support but it's not guaranteed. It's one tool your doctor might suggest, not a sure fix. If you have an active infection, see your doctor for proper treatment rather than relying on supplements alone.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea and stomach discomfort are the most commonly reported side effects. Some people also experience nausea, vomiting, or abdominal upset—these tend to happen more at higher doses or with long-term use over weeks.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
Cranberry in normal food amounts is rated likely safe in pregnancy, but this product is a concentrated supplement. Because concentrated supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole-food cranberry, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while pregnant.
Can I take this if I'm on a statin or blood thinner?
That depends on which medication you take and your dose. Cranberry may increase levels of drugs like atorvastatin and warfarin, which can raise your risk of side effects. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they can review your specific medications and dosing.
Does cranberry help with anything other than UTIs?
The evidence we have isn't established for age-related memory loss, enlarged prostate, cancer prevention, fatty liver disease, or chronic fatigue. Cranberry may have other benefits, but the data doesn't support a rating yet for those uses.
