CRANBERRY JUICE TABLETS For many decades cranberry juice has been thought to reduce bacterial infections of the bladder and recent studies have shown that cranberry juice inhibits adherence of E. coli cells to cells lining the bladder. Two different constituents in cranberry have been implicated, one being fructose and the other a large polymeric compound. Fructose is present in all fruits, but the large polymeric compound is found only in cranberry (and blueberry) juices. Bacteruria is common among elderly women, and while often asymptomatic, it may require treatment. A large proportion of women over 65 years old, and many younger than this, will experience at least one urinary tract infection each year. Several good quality studies have shown the effectiveness of cranberry juice in reducing the requirement for antibiotics and the chances of finding bacteria in the urine by up to 50% (1MET McMurdo, et al) (2J Avon et al). Rosella Herbals Cranberry Juice tablets come in a handy packed 60 tablet bottle with child-proof cap. We suggest a daily intake of 2 tablets per day, but, as with any other over the counter medicine, please be guided by our physician. PRICE: £6.00 (includes packing and delivery) |
