Cranberry Extract
60 Veggie Capsules • 650 mg
Cranberry is presently recommended by herbalists as well as medical doctors to support a healthy urinary system. Cranberry extract contains high levels of phytochemicals with properties that support and promote anti-bacterial growth. Clinical research has also shown presence of antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which may potentially support immune response.
In test tube studies, cranberry promotes the protection against E. coli, the most common bacterial cause of UTIs (urinary tract infections), from adhering to the cells, lining the wall of the bladder. The proanthocyanidins (a type of polyphenol) in the berry have shown this anti-adherence activity.
A small double-blind trial with women ages 18 to 45 years, with history of recurrent urinary tract infections found that daily dosages of 400 mg twice daily for three months, drastically improved urinary tract health compared to women taking the placebo.
