Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a shrub found in acidic bogs throughout the cool regions of the northern hemisphere.
Cranberries have a long history of culinary use in Europe and North America and have been employed by traditional herbalists for centuries.
Cranberries are packed with polyphenols, tannins, and other phytonutrients that have been researched for their role in urinary tract health. NOW® Cranberry Caps are also rich in vitamin C.
Urinary Tract Health: Cranberry supplements are perhaps most well-known for their role in promoting urinary tract health. They contain compounds like proanthocyanidins (PACs) that may help prevent bacteria, such as E. coli, from adhering to the urinary tract lining, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, evidence on the effectiveness of cranberry supplements for preventing UTIs is mixed, with some studies showing benefit and others showing no significant effect.
Antioxidant Properties: Cranberries are rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. These antioxidants can help reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
Heart Health: Some research suggests that the antioxidants in cranberries may have a positive effect on heart health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, cranberry supplements may help lower blood pressure, although more research is needed to confirm this effect.
Gut Health: The compounds found in cranberries, particularly PACs, may also have beneficial effects on gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in the digestive system.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Some studies suggest that cranberry supplements may have anti-inflammatory properties, which could be beneficial for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or arthritis.
