Cranberry Concentrate

For years women have been advised to drink cranberry juice as a method of preventing urinary tract infections. The tart juice is often difficult for many to handle though or the added sugar necessary to make it palatable counteract the other positive effects. Vitabase Cranberry Concentrate is a convenient way to get the benefits of cranberry without having to endure the taste or ingest increased amounts of sugar.

Almost half of all women will experience a painful urinary tract infection caused by bacteria in the bladder and urethra. Cranberry contains proanthocyanids which work by keeping the bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls thus making it easier to flush them from the system before they can multiply and cause problems. Cranberry is most effective at preventing UTIs and not treating them.

Cranberries are also a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants counteract the negative effects of free radicals. Preliminary evidence indicates the antioxidants in cranberries may help lower LDL cholesterol, relax blood vessels, and prevent plaque buildup thus possibly reducing the occurrence of heart disease.
