The upcoming Beijing Olympic Games have created concerns for industries relying on manufacturing facilities in and around Beijing. Pollution problems have compelled the Chinese government to close some of these factories because they could have a negative impact on Olympic events.
The possibility of factory shutdowns along with the struggling US dollar and rising oil costs have many companies worried about rising prices and low availabilities in the future months. Charles Bowman & Company is well aware of these issues and has made strategic preparations to cover anticipated customer demands during this time.

Charles Bowman and Company is proud to announce the launch of EXTRACYAN; a new line of berry extracts produced by Ferlux-Mediolanum. Ferlux-Mediolanum’s research and development group have become experts in the field of polyphenoic chemistry. The new product line is comprised of three products; a cranberry extract for the prevention of urinary tract infections, a blackberry extract for anti-aging, and a blackcurrant extract for vascular protection.
EXTRACYAN Cranberry is the only Vaccinium marcrocarpon extract available today to contain more than 18% proanthocyanidins. Typical cranberry extracts contain less than 3% proanthocyanidins, 6 times less than our product. EXTRACYAN Cranberry is a mixture of different oligometric proanthocyanidins. (from dimers A and B to hexamers), known to be active ingredients of the native fruit. The proanthocyanidins contained in Vaccinium marcrocarpon, (commonly known as cranberry) are known to help in the prevention of urinary tract infections.
EXTRACYAN Blackcurrant is currently the only blackcurrant extract standardized to contain more than 40% anthocyanins. Due to over 40 years of research into the manufacturing of anthocyanins and their patented extraction process, Ferlux has been able to preserve the nutritive and active constituents of blackcurrant. By preventing the activity of collagenase and elastase, anthocyanins play a protective role in the formation of and repair of vascular tissue.
EXTRACYAN Blackberry extract is standardized to kuromanin content. A study was conducted on Ferlux Blackberry to assess the distribution of anthocyanin metabolism in the three different tissues. Ferlux-Mediolanum’s research, “Anthocyanin Metabolism in Rats and their distribution to the Digestive Area, Kidney, and Brain” was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry in March of 2005. The study showed the presence of metabolized anthocyanins in brain tissue with the use of EXTRACYAN Blackberry, thereby confirming the potential use of blackberries as an antioxidant in the brain. EXTRACYAN Blackberry is the only blackberry extract to be standardized to contain more than 35% anthocyanins.
Charles Bowman and Company is the exclusive distributor for these products in North America. Ferlux Mediolanum Pharmaceuticals has become an industry leader in the development of new, innovative active ingredients.
