The All Natural Cranberry
Traditionally, cranberry juice has been consumed for the treatment of urinary tract infections. Cranberry and cranberry extracts are safe, well-tolerated herbal supplement that doesn't have significant drug interactions. The consumption of cranberry juice was an effective strategy for preventing recurrent urinary tract infection. A study showed that daily use of cranberry juice or tablets reduced the relapse rate for inflammation or infection of the bladder (i.e. acute cystitis). Another study assessed the effect of dried cranberry juice 1200mg of dried cranberry juice per day resulted in a statistically significant decrease in serum levels of advanced oxidation protein products. The study concluded that cranberry fruits are effective not only in the prevention of urinary tract infection but also for the prevention of oxidative stress.
In another study, women between the ages of 25 and 70 years old, with a history of a minimum of 6 urinary tract infections were studied. The women took one capsule twice daily for 12 weeks containing 200mg of a concentrated cranberry extract. During the study none of the women had a urinary tract infection. No adverse events were reported. The women who continue to take cranberry, continue to be free from urinary tract infections.
Cran-Max®, the cranberry extract in Cransana, utilizes a patented system that protects the cranberry from destruction by the stomach acid, delivering nutrients to the lower gastrointestinal tract where they can be absorbed in a consistent, time-release manner for maximum effect. |
