ORGANIC CRANBERRY EXTRACT (TINCTE) 50ml
Its botanical name "vaccinium oxycoccos" comes from the Latin word vacca, meaning cow, due to the animal's fondness for these fruits. Cranberries were first used as a food in South America. Native Americans used them in a variety of dishes, as a wound healing medicine, and as a dye.
Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and are particularly rich in fiber, manganese, vitamin B complex, vitamin E, and vitamin K. They are also high in proanthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant that belongs to the flavonoid family.

Its health benefits
Protection against urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Cranberries have been recommended for hundreds of years for their ability to treat and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections . A specific substance found in cranberries, hippuric acid, combined with proanthocyanins, prevent the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) (a pathogenic bacterium responsible for 80-90% of urinary tract infections) from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract and causing infection.
Beneficial benefits against cholesterol
A large number of studies show that regular consumption of cranberries can significantly reduce blood cholesterol levels. In particular, a study conducted at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania showed that the antioxidants contained in them can protect LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) from oxidation and reduce total cholesterol levels in the blood. A recent study observed an increase in HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels in the blood after regular consumption of cranberry juice.
Other benefits
Cranberry consumption has also been found to have antimicrobial effects as it prevents several pathogenic microbes from coming into contact with healthy cells in the body and adhering to them, thus causing infection.
