Cranberry (Extract) Concentrate for UTI


Cranberry (Extract) Concentrate for UTI


Cranberry Extract capsules help prevent UTI Urinary Tract Infection - take for both treatment and prevention.

A UTI (urinary tract infection) is a pain you know where. It means a trip to the doctor, giving a urine sample and getting a prescription for an antibiotic. Then you have to go the the pharmacy and pay a small fortune for Cipro.

Prevention is far better and Cranberry is high in vitamin C. A new study shows that cranberries may be one of the best health foods we can consume. An antioxidant comparison of some of the most common fruits found that the little red berry - in its pure form - contained the highest quantity of disease-fighting phenols, a type of antioxidant that is thought to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart disease.

Cranberries may fight cancer and heart disease by pumping a higher level of a flavonoid called quercetin in the blood. Quercetin is one of the most potent dietary antioxidants. Several studies indicate quercetin may protect against cardiovascular diseases and animal studies show it protects against cancer.

Urinary tract and bladder infections are among the most prevalent bacterial infections and can be quite painful. Fifty percent of all women are confronted by these unpleasant infections at some point in their lives. The disorder is an especially severe problem when it becomes chronic - whereby some patients experience symptoms almost continually. The Escherichia coli bacterium is responsible for 80% of these urinary tract infections.

Modern research shows that cranberry provides an undesirable growth medium for bacteria in the urinary tract. Specifically, it has been shown that cranberry constituents appear to inhibit the ability of bacteria to adhere to the cell wall of the urinary tract. Regular use of cranberry significantly reduces bacterial growth in the urinary tract. Since UTI (urinary tract infections) are quite common in many females as well as males, cranberry is excellent in the prevention of this health problem. It also helps with the bladder, cystitis and incontinence.
