Nutritionally supports urinary tract health without unwanted sugar‡
Cranberries have been used for hundreds of years as nutritional support for the urinary tract. Cranberry concentrate provides support without the unwanted sugar found in cranberry juice. The role of cranberry concentrate includes enhancing the acidity of urine and maintaining a healthy urinary tract ecology. Constituents of cranberry concentrate associated with its benefits include proanthocyanidins as well as d-mannose. Research has suggested the potential for cranberry juice to interact with lectin receptors and maintain a healthy bladder wall. At Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving over 150 female volunteers reported positive support for a healthy urinary tract after administration of a cranberry beverage. Our cranberry concentrate is made from 100% whole cranberry fruit solids through a proprietary process that concentrates the health benefiting components of cranberries without the use of solvents or sugars.‡

Cranberry juice has been associated with gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in some individuals.
Some in vitro studies suggest that cranberry could alter the way that the liver breaks down medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, altering the effects of these medicati ons and possibly the dose needed for treatment. However, this has not been demonstrated in human studies.
Cranberry may be contra-indicated for individuals on blood thinning medications.
