Cranberry Urinary Tract Infection Remedy with Hibiscus

From fruits to ice creams, food companies continue to insert cranberries into every edible product. Juice companies profess the healing effects of cranberries, while food products claim they’re a healthy snack.

Slightly high in sugar, these bright-red treats remain the as the most effective, all-natural remedy for combating UTIs, Urethritis, and bladder infection.


Bacteria Inhibition?

Researchers remain puzzled on how cranberry works so effectively. Some researchers suggest that the benzoic acid and hippuric acid in cranberries creates an acidic, inhibitory environment for bacterial growth. However, urine tests show pH levels remain consistent.[1] [2]


Don't Let Bacteria Hang On To You

Highly concentrated with a special flavonoid called Proanthocyanidins (PACs), cranberries can ruin the structure of bactieral fimbriae, preventing painful conditions, such as UTIs and bladder infections. E. coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Salmonella, and Helicobacter pylori, cause UTIs because of the tentacle-like fimbriae the bacteria uses to latch onto the mucous membrane of urinary tract and bladder.

The average bacteria contains about a thousand tentacle-like fimbraie, allowing them firmly attached to mucuous membrane without being washed off by urine. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Cut Their Legs Out

A combination of highly concentrated PACs from cranberry and Hibiscus (Hisbiscus Sabdariffa) can effectively weaken tentacle-like fimbraie from latching onto the urinary tract. The combination of cranberry and hibiscus establish a special synergistic effect against UTI.[5] [6] [7]
