CranRich Super Strength Cranberry Concentrate provides a high dose of bioactive cranberry nutrients known to prevent and treat recurrent urinary tract infections. The high proanthocyanidin content helps prevent pathogenic bacteria from attaching to urinary tract walls, which can cause infection. Cranberry’s antibacterial activity also inhibits ulcer- and cavity-causing bacteria to reduce the frequency of peptic ulcers and cavities.
Potent antioxidants in CranRich help lower LDL cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis. Its high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) score indicates that CranRich is effective at fighting the free radicals that accelerate disease and aging.
Natural Factors CranRich Super Strength Cranberry Concentrate is a 36:1 concentration made from high quality, 100% whole cranberry fruit solids with no added sugar, water, flavour, colour, or preservatives. Every dose provides three times the antioxidant activity of pure cranberry juice in addition to vitamins A, C and B, folic acid, calcium, iron, and potassium. CranRich is an effective way to reap the health benefits of cranberry without having to experience the tartness of pure cranberry juice.
Safety
Cranberry is very safe and there are no
known side effects but it does have
slight blood thinning effects. Cranberry is also considered safe during pregnancy and lactation.
However, if would be wise to inform
your health care practitioner that you
are using cranberry if you are currently
using blood thinning medications or
are pregnant. Urinary tract infections
during pregnancy should always be
reported to a health care practitioner.
Note:
Recurring bladder infections can
eventually involve the upper urinary
tract, especially the kidneys, making
them more than just a painful nuisance. If you have this problem, or symptoms suggestive of a urinary tract
infection (UTI), such as pain or burn-
ing on urination; increased urinary
frequency; or cloudy, foul-smelling, or
dark urine, consult a health care prac-
titioner. While cranberries may lower
the risk of UTI recurrence and diminish numbers of
E. coli, in serious cases
other medications may be required
