Now Foods Cranberry Caps are indicated to help treat cystitis (urinary tract infection). They treat inflammation and relieve common symptoms of this infection, such as urgency to urinate, pain, and burning during urination. This information is supported by studies conducted by Rutgers University, NJ, which demonstrated that cranberry berries ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ) contain compounds that help prevent and treat urinary tract infections.

Mirtilin is attributed with antibacterial action, and is currently accepted as a treatment for low-recurrence urinary tract infections. Red cranberry has urinary antiseptic action by preventing bacteria from adhering to mucous membranes, reducing the likelihood of infections. It effectively helps fight urinary tract infections, has antiviral action, and increases the activity of cyclooxygenase (an essential enzyme for prostaglandin production).

Urinary tract infections are a very prevalent health problem in women, the elderly, and children, and are most often caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli . For infection to occur, the environment must be conducive to the multiplication of bacteria, which must adhere (via small filaments) to the walls of the urinary tract.

The most common treatments are antibiotics, but due to increasing bacterial resistance, the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections increases significantly. For this reason, researchers have begun to focus on alternative treatments, especially prevention.

NOW Cranberry Caps contain a unique type of phenolic compounds known as Type A Proanthocyanidins (PACs), unlike other plants and berries that contain the more common Type B.

Scientific studies show that type A PACs are the only ones that are highly effective in preventing bacteria (including Escherichia coli ) from adhering to the urinary tract wall and consequently helping to prevent and treat urinary tract infections. In April 2004, the French Food Safety Agency (AFSSA) approved for the first time worldwide the claim regarding the therapeutic effects of cranberries ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ), stating that the intake of at least 36 mg of PAC per day:

"Helps reduce the adhesion of certain E. coli bacteria to the walls of the urinary tract." This supplement helps increase good cholesterol and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), benefits that can be attributed to the presence of polyphenols. By preventing bacteria from attaching to teeth and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and stomach, it helps prevent tooth decay and ulcers. By preventing them from adhering to the walls of the respiratory tract, it also acts against certain strains of Haemophilus , a common cause of respiratory and ear infections, particularly in children.

NOW Cranberry Caps are a convenient way to get the benefits of red cranberry juice. 8 kilograms of berries are used to produce 1 kilogram of powdered concentrate. These high-potency capsules contain 5,600 mg (700 mg of 8:1 extract) of red cranberry, the highest amount of any supplement.
