Cranberry 30 tablets YAMAMOTO

Yamamoto® Research Cranberry is a dietary supplement that provides 300 mg of cranberry per daily dose. Cranberry promotes urinary tract function and the drainage of body fluids.

The American cranberry, or Vaccinium macrocarpon, is a plant belonging to the Ericaceae family and native to North America, where it has a long tradition of use. Compared to the blueberry grown in Europe, the cranberry has a much tarter flavor, so it is often paired with sweeter fruits, such as apples. The cranberry has been described as a disinfectant and urinary tract protector par excellence, owing its fame to its valuable bioactive compounds, such as proanthocyanidins, along with bioflavonoids, tannins, ascorbic, citric, malic, and glucuronic acids, beta-carotene, glutathione, and vitamin E. Thanks to these elements, the cranberry has long been considered an effective dietary supplement for promoting urinary tract function.

Cranberries, as mentioned above, contain proanthocyanidin A, polyphenols that can prevent bacteria like Escherichia coli from adhering to the bladder mucosa. Escherichia coli, the bacterium that causes cystitis, is one of the main threats to the urinary tract: thanks to its tentacles, it can easily adhere to the bladder's epithelial walls and proliferate.
