Cranberry has historically been used for the natural treatment of urinary infections and the reduction of pathogenic bacteria such as streptococcus and E-coli.
Cranberry contains a compound called Hippuric Acid that may help prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder and rest of the urinary tract. This prevents the bacteria from spreading and eventually results in the halt of infection.
Many individuals have gained significant relief from conditions like cystitis and breaking research indicates that using cranberry on a regular basis may also help prevent the formation of kidney stones.
Other benefits also see cranberry as a potent antioxidant due to its high flavonoid content supported by certain vitamins and minerals to help the body fight oxidative stress especially withinin the urinary system
