Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's) are the most common bacterial infection in women and account for a significant number of all doctor visits. The elderly are at an increased risk for developing cystitis due to incomplete emptying of the bladder associated with many of the conditions that accompany ageing.
The patented extract used in the Thompson's ULTRA Cranberry, Cran-Max, is actually clinically proven to be effective in the reduction of lower UTI's such as cystitis. ULTRA Cranberry works by effectively preventing the adherence of harmful bacteria to the walls of the urinary tract.
Only one capsule daily of ULTRA Cranberry has been clinically proven to reduce the incidence of UTI's. Two capsules daily are recommended to assist in the management of UTI's.
