FUNCTIONS

Cranberry is a small evergreen shrub grown throughout North America and prized by Indian tribes for treating urinary conditions. Cranberry is still used as a natural remedy to support urinary health, particularly urinary tract infections, although the exact mechanisms are still unclear. Some researchers believe that cranberry has the ability to lower the pH of the urine (making it more acidic), which may inhibit the growth of bacteria. Still, other research suggests that specific compounds in cranberry, like D-mannose, inhibit bacteria from “sticking” to the walls of the urinary tract to be subsequently flushed out during urination. Wellness Works uses the Cran- Max® brand of cranberry concentrate that protects the cranberry from destruction by gastric acid, delivering the nutrients to the lower gastrointestinal tract where they can be absorbed. One capsule is equal to about eight ounces of cranberry concentrate.
