A member of the same family as blueberry and bilberry, cranberry is originally from North America. Grown in bogs, cranberry is
used medicinally once ripe. In addition to its antioxidant properties, traditionally cranberry has been used to prevent kidney
stones as well as to remove toxins from the blood. Cranberry has also been recommended for its ability to prevent urinary tract
infections (UTIs). Research has shown that cranberry prevents E. coli which is the most common bacterial cause of UTIs.
Proanthocyanidins, a class of nutrients from the flavonoid family, found in cranberry have an anti-adherence action in the
bladder that reduces the ability of bacteria to form and cause a UTI. Further studies have shown cranberry’s ability to reduce
bacteria levels significantly over placebos as well as decrease the recurrence of UTIs in those frequently plagued with the
infection.
