Cranberry Concentrate capsules are an easy way of obtaining the benefits of cranberry juice. It takes over 8 pounds of whole cranberries to produce 1 pound of Cranberry Concentrate powder. Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections.

How does cranberry juice help prevent urinary tract infections? They contain an antibacterial agent called hippuric acid, as well as other compounds that reduce the ability of E. coli bacteria to adhere to the walls of the urinary tract. Before an infection can start, a pathogen must first cling to and then penetrate the mucosal surface of the urinary tract walls, but cranberries prevent such adherence, so the E. coli is washed away in the urine and voided. E. coli is the pathogen responsible for 80-90% of urinary tract infections, therefore protection afforded by cranberries is quite significant.
