Description : Cranberries have been used since ancient times by the Native Americans as food, and for the treatment of bladder and kidney diseases. In the 1920s, physicians began to use it for the prevention of bladder infections, ‘bladder gravel’ (small bladder stones) and to clean the blood. Today, the health benefits of this humble berry have extended beyond bladder health and blood purification.

The health benefits of cranberries come from Proanthocyanidin A-type linkage (PAC-A)*, a potent antioxidant because of its substantial flavonoid content and a wealth of phenolic acids and unique anti-adhesion of P-fimbriated uropathogenic E.coli to uroepithelial cells. Besides that, cranberries also contain hippuric acid, an organic fruit acid that gives the cranberry its distinct taste and smell.
*The antioxidative effects of PAC-A are 20x more powerful than that of Vitamin C and 50x more potent than that of Vitamin E.
