Genitourinary Tract Support Cranberry is widely used to support the health of the genitourinary tract. Research has shown that it has an anti-adhesion factor that prevents bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract. Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum™ Cranberry Concentrate is a concentrated extract yielding a broad spectrum of cranberry's valuable plant acids. Each 560 mg tablet is equivalent to drinking 8 ounces of cranberry juice. Lifestyle Recommendations: To support the health of the genitourinary tract, drink plenty of pure water; avoid the excessive consumption of sugar, which can lead to increased bacterial levels; and avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate the bladder. Other Planetary Herbals products to support a healthy genitourinary system include: Cranberry Bladder Defense™ and Uva Ursi Diurite™. KEY FEATURES People who eat large amounts of cranberries have more acid in their urine than those who do not eat high amounts of the berry. Because bacteria cannot survive in an acidic environment, researchers speculated that a diet rich in cranberries may help prevent and treat urinary tract infections, which are commonly caused by bacteria known as Escherichia coli. The cranberry fruit is high in antioxidants, partly from substances called proanthocyanidins. Antioxidants scavenge damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. They are believed to contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health problems such as heart disease, cancer, and infections. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. Proanthocyanidins also help prevent microorganisms from causing infections and appear to have cancer fighting properties. Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C as well, another important antioxidant. Cranberry is used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections of the bladder and urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder).
Suggested Use: 1 to 2 tablets daily, or as recommended by your health care professional. For best results, drink plenty of pure water.
