Organic Cranberry
Proanthocyanidins titrated
|
| For the prevention of urinary infections |
3 gelatine capsules provide 36 mg of proanthocyanidins (PACS), equivalent to the dose recommended by Afssa (French Food Safety Authority) to prevent E.coli bacteria attaching to the walls of the urinary tract.
Cranberry is rich in proanthocyanidins (anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial), preventing the appearance and recurrence of cystitis (urinary infections) by stopping bacteria attaching to the walls of the bladder and reproducing. |

Benefit:
Each gelatine capsule contains 12 mg of proanthocyanidins, equivalent to one third of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) recommended by Afssa (French Food Safety Authority). Dividing the treatment into 3 daily doses aids the body's digestion of the active ingredient thereby increasing its effectiveness. |

| Detailed information |
The cranberry is a small red fruit similar to the bilberry, and was a staple food source of the American Indians.
A recent review of its compositions has clarified the mechanisms of its well-established beneficial properties regarding urinary tract infections.
In fact, the cranberry contains proanthocyanidins, a very specific category of flavonoids (polyphenols), the anti-oxidant substances to be found in all plants.
These proanthocyanidins (also known as “condensed tannins”), which are also found to a lesser extent in tea and chocolate, are substances that, like all polyphenols, have anti-oxidant effects on the body’s cells (see “free radicals” leaflet).
Proanthocyanidins also have an anti-microbial action: in fact, they can bind with certain bacteria and prevent them from attaching to the cell walls. And so "trap" the bacteria that often cause urinary infections (Escherichia Coli).
With unpleasant symptoms such as the frequent need to urinate and a burning sensation during urination, urinary infection, also known as cystitis, is in fact caused by an abnormal proliferation of the bacteria inside the bladder. It is common among women and men, although it is often associated with prostate problems among the latter.
All studies show that the regular intake of cranberry juice, and therefore proanthocyanidins, helps to prevent urinary tract infections and their recur-rence.
Recent studies suggest a similar effect on other bacteria. This is likely to in-crease the use of proanthocyanidins in the curative and preventative treatment of certain ulcers (caused by the Heliobacter pylori bacteria), dental cavities or certain gingivitis (caused by the Streptococcus mutlans bacteria).
Production and quality guarantee:
Only the Early Black Cranberry, which contains the highest concentration of proanthocyanidins on the market) is used. The natural proanthocyanidin con-tent of the cranberry and without any other vegetable sources being added.
The cranberry extract is obtained by dehydrating* the berries, in a GMP labo-rartory according to current pharmaceutical standards. The manufacturing procedure has also been certified as kosher.
*The dehydrating process is carried out according to a patented procedure, known as “refracting window” (see relevant article), ensuring the best possible preservation of the nutrients.
The raw materials and finished products are regularly analysed by independent laboratories. The content in active pharmaceutical ingredients is guaranteed by the HPLC analysis method (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). These analyses can be consulted online.
