• This has 200mg of concentrated cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) extract per tablet, a 100:1 extract meaning each tablet has 20g of fresh cranberries (a quarter cup).
• It has a long traditional use for urinary tract and bladder problems in women.
• The tablets give an easy way to take a daily cranberry dose without drinking juice (which not everyone likes or remembers) or eating large quantities of berries.

Use of Cranberry Extract

Cranberry juice is used for urinary tract comfort, but commercial cranberry juice is often sweetened with substantial amounts of sugar, making it an impractical daily product for long-term use.

Concentrated extract solves this.

Each 200mg tablet has roughly 20g of fresh cranberries in a small tablet form. The active compounds of interest are proanthocyanidins (PACs), particularly the A-type PACs, which research suggests play a role in reducing the ability of certain bacteria to adhere to the bladder lining.

Concentrated extract delivers a meaningful PAC dose without the sugar load.

Cranberry for UTIs

It is most commonly taken by women who get recurrent urinary tract discomfort.

Research has investigated cranberry for UTI prevention, with studies showing some benefits in some populations and less convincing results in others.

Cranberry is not a treatment for active urinary tract infection. An active UTI needs medical assessment and, usually, antibiotics.
