Pharmacology
Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a plant from North America commonly used to reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs) and help with kidney stone problems. Cranbiotic helps prevent the need for repeated use of antibiotics in treating recurrent UTIs. Cranberry works by stopping bacteria from sticking to the bladder and urethra, which is usually the first step in causing infections. At higher doses, Cranbiotic can also act as a urinary antiseptic and reduce the risk of kidney stones. Studies show that cranberry can reduce UTIs by up to 65%, leading to fewer uses of antibiotics and fewer cases of recurrent infections.
