Uses For Cranberry NS®
Urinary Tract Health: The role of cranberry extract includes enhancing the acidity of urine and maintaining a healthy urinary tract ecology. Constituents of cranberry extract associated with its benefits include proanthocyanidins as well as d-mannose. In one study, healthy urinary function was observed in subjects shortly after drinking cranberry juice cocktail. Another study suggested the potential for cranberry juice to interact with lectin receptors and maintain a healthy bladder wall. At Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA, a randomized double blind, placebo- controlled trial involving over 150 female volunteers reported positive support for a healthy urinary tract after administration of a cranberry beverage.*

Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or Precautions?
If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. Cranberry juice has been associated with gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in some individuals. Consult your physician for more information.
Are There Any Potential Drug Interactions?
Some in vitro studies suggest that cranberry could alter the way that the liver breaks down medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, altering the effects of these medications and possibly the dose needed for treatment. However, this has not been demonstrated in human studies. Cranberry may be contra-indicated for individuals on blood thinning medications. Consult your physician for more information.
