CRANBERRY & BUCHU CONCENTRATE

Millions are familiar with the benefits of cranberry in relation to the urinary system. But the scientific community had to take a closer look before it would agree with long-held folk wisdom.

A study reviewed in the Journal of American Medical Association (March 9, 1994) concluded that cranberry juice contains substances that alter the bacteria population in urine.

In the mid-’80s, a preliminary study was published in The Journal of Urology (Vol. 131, No. 5). Dr. Anthony Sobota of Youngstown State University (Ohio) identified a special factor in the juice that seemed to support the health of the urinary tract.

Benefits:

• Nutritionally supports the health of the urinary tract.
• Helps deodorize urine.

Scientific studies have concluded that cranberry juice contains substances that affect the urinary tract by interfering with the adhesion of potentially dangerous microbes to the urinary tract lining.

HOW IT WORKS:

For centuries, herbalists have known the diuretic properties of cranberry. Cranberries also help promote healthy digestion. Buchu is rich in the mineral selenium, which helps in DNA repair. Buchu has antioxidant properties because it helps form selenium glutathione peroxidase. This diuretic herb contains a camphor-like oil that helps keep the urinary tract healthy.
