Tips
Cranberries have long been used in North America by the indigenous
populations as a source of food and as a medicine. A small, red and very tart
berry, it is often made more palatable as a drink by mixing with other juices or
adding sugar.
Recommended amounts of Cranberry juice to reduce the
frequency of recurrent UTI’s vary from 300 ml to up to 8 cups a day, more than
most people would prefer to consume. Blooms Health Products has created
Cranberry 30,000 in capsule form in a simple one a day formulation so that you
get the benefits of the properties of the cranberry without having to consume
the high levels of natural sugar (fructose) in the fruit, or the added
sweeteners in some cranberry drinks.
Whilst men may also contract UTI’s it is
far more common in women, due to the shorter length of the female urethra. As
many as 30% of women may contract a UTI at some time in their life.
