Fruit d’Or

Fruit d'Or's nutraceuticals division operates under the Cran d'Or™ brand, offering premium organic cranberry and wild blueberry-derived ingredients for the supplement, cosmetics, and functional food industries. Based in Canada and cultivating in cold climates, the company maintains a fully integrated, field-to-final-product supply chain that ensures rigorous quality control at every stage of production. This vertical integration distinguishes the operation from commodity ingredient suppliers and enables full traceability from cultivation through freezing, processing, and packaging.

The flagship product line centers on organic cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) powders, with the Cran d'Or™ TotalPAC formulation representing the company's most concentrated nutraceutical ingredient. This full-spectrum cranberry powder delivers a guaranteed minimum of 7.2% total proanthocyanidins (PACs), encompassing both soluble and insoluble fractions, with proven stability over time. The production process employs gentle concentration methods specifically designed to preserve the fruit's natural nutrient profile without the use of anticaking agents, free-flow agents, or chemical solvents, resulting in a genuinely clean-label ingredient. A clinical study has been conducted on Cran d'Or™ TotalPAC, and the product qualifies for the FDA's qualified health claim linking cranberry powder supplementation (500 mg daily serving) to a reduced risk of recurrent urinary tract infections.

Cran d'Or™ Complete is a complementary 100% cranberry powder offering a broader nutritional profile including more than 40% dietary fiber, 10% protein with all essential amino acids, and a minimum of 4% soluble and insoluble PACs. It contains zero additives, preservatives, added sugars, artificial flavors, colors, or GMO ingredients. Additional products in the portfolio include CranOra™ and Cran d'Or™ PlantEFA, extending applications across multiple health benefit categories.

The ingredient range is formulated for versatile applications including capsules, gummies, softgels, tablets, functional foods, and beverages. Documented health benefits associated with the cranberry compounds include urinary tract health, improved gut microbiota through prebiotic-like polyphenol activity, and oral health support via antimicrobial action against bacteria linked to periodontitis and dental caries.

The company also supplies ingredients for personal care and cosmetic product formulations, expanding its reach beyond ingestible supplements into topical applications. An end-to-end upcycling approach ensures minimal waste across the production process. Certifications and sourcing standards reflect a commitment to organic cultivation and non-GMO ingredient integrity, making these ingredients well-suited for brands targeting the clean-label, natural, and premium wellness segments.
