Cranberries are fruit native to North America, rich in antioxidant phytochemicals, including anthocyanins (natural pigment responsible for the red & blue colour of many fruits & flowers) and proanthocyanidins (powerful, natural tannins that inhibit bacteria from adhering to urinary tract walls, where it could multiply & lead to poor bladder health). Proanthocyanidins interfere with the bacteria’s adhesive action, causing a decrease in the adhesive force between the bacteria and the cell walls, so the organisms are instead flushed harmlessly from the body. Cranberries also contain antioxidant vitamin C, carbohydrates (glucose, fructose), organic acids (ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, quinic acid, malic acid), vitamin A, B vitamins & minerals. |
