CRAN'BEY®
Supports urinary health naturally
A study investigated the uropathogenic Escherichia coli anti-adhesion activity of PACs. Urines samples collected from 32 volunteers were assessed in two separate bioassays in-vitro and one assay in-vivo with Caenorhabditis elegans model.
The mean survival time (LT50) for C. elegans infected by E. coli grown in urine samples collected after cranberry intake was significantly increased to 5-6 days compared to LT50 for strain grown in urine samples collected after placebo intake (3 days) (Figure 1). Bacteria grown in the urine collected from volunteers that consumed cranberry are not able to adhere. Other results indicated significant anti-adhesion activity in urines of individuals consuming the cranberry compared to placebo (Figure 2).

Prevents the adhesion of Escherichia coli on urinary tract
Prevents and limits the recurrent UTIs
An extract preventing urinary tract infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common infection around the world with a strong apparition in women. This disease is caused by colonization in urinary tract by bacteria, the predominant bacteria being Escherichia coli. 25% of women suffer of recurrent UTIs, thus, the prevention is indispensable to limit the
Source of the Cranberry fruit is crucial
Company
American based, specialized in the harvest of cranberries
Origin
North
America
Species
Vaccinium
macrocarpon
Dimer
High content of proanthocyanidins (PACs) of dimer Type A
PACs prevents the adherence of bacteria to uroepithelial cells of the urinary tract. They interfered in the development and aglutination of bacteria and limites the apparition of infection. Then, bacteria are safely flushed from the body.
