The very high potency extract also enables the vegetarian capsules to be small and easy to swallow.

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has been used as both food and for its health benefits for centuries. It is native to North America and was used by Native Americans to support bladder and kidney health. Early settlers from England learned to use the berry both raw and cooked for many conditions, including supporting digestion and healthy blood.

Cranberry fruit is high in antioxidants, partly from substances called proanthocyanidins (PACs), which give cranberries their vibrant colour. Research suggests that it is PACs that are responsible for Cranberry’s urinary health action. Not all species of Cranberry fruit have this effect. North American Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is the best source of PACs. Multiple studies including double-blind trials have indicated that the PACs in Cranberry help the body create an environment in which bacteria are unable to adhere to the lining walls of the urinary tract. Cranberry extracts are generally regarded as more effective than Cranberry juice because the PACs are at higher levels, and many Cranberry drinks contain added sugar which is counter-productive to urinary health.
