Cran-Max cranberry
concentrate provides treatment of the symptoms and protection from Urinary
Tract Infection (UTI). UTI or urinary tract infection affects more than 20 million in the U.S. annually and next to respiratory infections, are the most commonly occurring infections in Women. For example, the most frequent complication of pregnancy is a UTI, having the potential to cause premature delivery. Menopausal and perimenopausal Women are also at high risk, because as estrogen levels decline, tissues in the urinary and reproductive tracts thin out, becoming more easily infected, causing burning and urgency to urinate. Occasionally, urination is accompanied by excruciating pain. Occurring infrequently in men until about the age of 50, UTI thereafter, becomes more common, and are usually linked to prostatitis. The organism most often responsible for urinary tract infection is Escherichia coli (E. coli), a bacterium normally found in the digestive tract and present on the skin around the rectal area in both men and Women. In Women, these bacteria easily migrate across the perineum, the narrow band of flesh between the anus and the vagina, to the urethra. This bacterial invasion can result in acute cystitis, the most common urinary tract infection. When bacteria from the bladder ascend to the kidneys a more serious infection called pyelonephritis is the result. Male anatomy makes infection less likely and secretions from the prostate gland tends to inhibit this type of bacterial invasion. It is a common misconception that UTI is the result of the transfer of infection from a sexual partner. The actual mechanism is that during sex, bacteria in the vagina are pushed into the urethra and from there migrate to the bladder. However, UTI can affect Women of all ages, including the very young and the elderly, long before and long after sexual activity. Antibiotics may be needed to treat the acute urinary tract infection, however, for many this is not the best option. Modern studies have confirmed that an old folklore treatment for UTI works. Cranberries are effective in the treatment of UTIs. These studies
