Cranberries are well respected within botanical traditions due to their nutritional content and their support of the urinary tract. Scientific research has confirmed the long-known information about cranberry’s positive effect on the urinary tract system as well as begun defining how it works. Native Americans included cranberries in dried meats and fats for pemmican cakes then introduced them to early colonists. However, the colonists added quite a bit of sugar to avoid the tart, astringent taste of cranberries when adding them to puddings and tarts. By the late 19th century, cranberries had been recognized for their urinary tract benefits by German doctors who had noted the cleansing properties.
Planetary Formulas Cranberry Bladder Defense 60 tabs blends the traditional herbalist knowledge with the modern research to provide a highly concentrated cranberry formula without the sugar added to most cranberry juices. Planetary Formulas Cranberry Bladder Defense also has the additional benefit of supplying herbs known for cleaning and toning the bladder. Cranberries contain anthocyains, flavonoids that are known for coloring plants blue and red and are a unique plant acid. Anthocyains are strong antioxidants that are able to scavenge free radicals (something not all antioxidants are capable of doing). The plant acids within cranberry like malic, quinic, citric, and benzoic acids, along with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), help decrease the pH within the urinary tract for a healthier bladder. The astringency of these plant acids and vitamin C assists in adding tonicity to the genitourinary tract to support healthy tissue.
