US research has proven that cranberries contain many vitamins.

Many women in the US and Canada drink cranberry juice in order to protect themselves against bladder infections.

The American Kidney Fund recommends the consumption of one large glass of cranberry juice daily, in order to keep the urine tract healthy.

Cranberries are also thought to prevent the E. coli germ from attaching itself to the bladder wall and urine tract, thus defeating infection.

Furthermore, research in Israel has clearly shown that the cranberry stops certain germs, such as H. pylori, sticking to the stomach wall. This germ is responsible for the vast majority of all stomach ulcers.

The cranberry also acts to prevent tartar (plaque). In this case, the berry prevents certain germs from attaching themselves to the gums and causing tooth decay.

The cranberry has the same reaction in all instances: instead of destroying the germs, the cranberry prevents them from attaching themselves and having a harmful effect.

Recent research has proven cranberries to be an excellent source of antioxidants.

The cranberry is also rich in polyphenol compounds known as flavonoids, which are also present in red wine. Some of the characteristics attributed to such substances are enlarging the diameter of veins and protecting against oxidisation of cholesterol in the blood circuit.

In short: cranberries are attributed numerous positive characteristics, but all of this does not detract from the simple fact that our cranberries taste delicious.
