HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SunCran by Tomorrow's Nutrition
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
SunCran is a single-ingredient product: cranberry in the form of juice powder and Sunfiber Guar Fiber in a capsule. The inactive ingredients are rice extract and the capsule shell itself.
This is a concentrated supplement form, different from drinking fresh cranberry juice.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Cranberry is possibly effective for urinary tract infections (UTIs) — that's the main reason people take it. For other uses listed in our data — age-related cognitive decline, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), cancer prevention, fatty liver disease, and chronic fatigue — the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it.
If you're considering SunCran for a UTI, talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense alongside or instead of other treatments.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cranberry from food is well tolerated, but concentrated supplement doses like SunCran haven't been studied as thoroughly. The most common side effect is diarrhea and stomach discomfort.
Very large amounts (3–4 liters of juice daily) can cause more significant gastrointestinal upset, especially in young children. One person reported skin redness and itching.
Because the safety data on concentrated supplements is limited, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting SunCran, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking SunCran, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin) — cranberry may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you're on cholesterol-lowering statins (especially atorvastatin/Lipitor), blood pressure drugs like nifedipine (Procardia), or any other medications your liver breaks down.
Cranberry may raise levels of these drugs in your bloodstream.
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.
SunCran may help prevent urinary tract infections, but it's not a substitute for medical treatment if you have one. It interacts with blood thinners, cholesterol drugs, blood pressure medications, and many other drugs your liver processes — so check your exact medications before starting.
If you're on any prescription drugs, or pregnant or breastfeeding, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

SunCran by Tomorrow's Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Tomorrow's Nutrition SunCran contains cranberry, which interacts with a number of common medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinner medications like warfarin (Coumadin) — cranberry may increase how much of the drug stays in your body, which can raise your bleeding risk. Case reports have linked cranberry juice to changes in INR (a measure of how thin your blood is), though the research on this is mixed.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cranberry also has moderate interactions with cholesterol-lowering statins (especially atorvastatin/Lipitor), blood pressure drugs like nifedipine (Procardia), and a broad group of medications your liver breaks down using the CYP3A4 pathway. One case report documented muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), severe back pain, and liver problems in someone taking atorvastatin with large amounts of cranberry juice — though this is rare.
Additionally, cranberry may modestly affect pain relievers like diclofenac (Voltaren), though human studies suggest this effect is minor.
Cranberry also theoretically affects medications your liver processes through the CYP2C9 pathway, though research here is conflicting and the severity is minor. Altogether, these interactions span 713 individual medications.

For each ingredient in SunCran with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
SunCran
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
