RF cranberry extract is a supplement to relieve urinary tract infections, such as cystitis. It also stimulates the immune system and the elimination of fluids, thanks to its diuretic properties and vitamin C content.
RF cranberry extract is a formula created to harness the goodness of this medicinal plant rich in catechin tannins, minerals, flavonoids and vitamin C. These help to improve the health of the urinary tract, relieving itching, burning and inflammation caused by infections such as cystitis.
This infection is caused by Escherichia coli, a bacterium that adheres to the walls of the urinary tract, which the pro-anthocyanidins and fructose in cranberry help to weaken. In this way, they do not manage to adhere to these walls, forcing them to be carried away by urine, which becomes more abundant due to the diuretic properties of this supplement.
This cleanses the urinary tract, which also carries away the grit that accumulates in the kidneys and causes kidney stones. Hence the benefits of this supplement for improving the health of the urinary system. Similarly, its vitamin C content helps to boost the body's defences to prevent the recurrence of these infections.
There are also other bacteria that cause urinary tract infections that can be controlled with cranberry, such as Proteus and Klebsiella. This is especially important because there are micro-organisms that can create resistance to antibiotics, which can also impair the digestive and immune system.
On the other hand, cranberry's ability to fight Escherichia coli has been used to alleviate stomach infections caused by this bacterium. Hence, it is used to relieve colic, diarrhoea and general discomfort caused by gastrointestinal infections.
These are the ones for which RF has used cranberry to prepare an extract that helps prevent and relieve infections.
