Cranberries are magical little berries, containing unique compounds that stick to certain bad bacteria and assist in flushing them out of the body.

It is well known that cranberries help cleanse the urinary system and assist in maintaining urinary tract health. They may work in a similar way for certain stomach bacteria.

How cranberries help to cleanse and purify your body:

  • Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (or PACs)
  • PACs are all natural compounds with antioxidant and anti adhesion benefits
  • PACs have unique anti-adhesion properties – they attach to certain bacteria and prevent them from sticking to healthy cells
  • PACs allow these bad bacteria to be harmlessly flushed from the body

Did you know?

  • A 2004 study found cranberries have more antioxidants than most other common fruits*
  • A 250mL serving of Cranberry ClassicTM provides 100% of your recommended daily Vitamin C intake
