Cranberry Plus capsules contain concentrated cranberry fruit extract (Vaccinium macrocarpon) which prevents urinary infections while improving antioxidant capacity. Approximately 10 to 20% of women experience one or more episodes of urinary discomfort or urinary infection each year. Cranberries are rich in polyphenols, antioxidant compounds like proanthocyanidins, which reduce the adhesion of E. coli bacteria to the uroepithelial cells that line the bladder. In healthy women and women with a history of bladder infections, supplements containing cranberry extract have been shown to be very effective in drastically reducing the adhesion of two strains of E. coli bacteria obtained from urine samples. Regular consumption of cranberry supplements helps reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection in women at high risk of contracting such infections, in addition to being able to help improve lower urinary tract infection symptoms in men. Due to their high concentration of polyphenols, cranberries also reduced oxidative stress in healthy participants and those with metabolic syndrome.
