NEW ORLEANS- Urinary issues are a fact of life affecting millions of women each year. Only respiratory issues are more common.
The latest non-pharmaceutical breakthrough for better bladder health is [B]ActiFruit™
Exactly how cranberry promotes urinary tract health is not completely understood. It was once believed that the beneficial effects were due to its ability to promote a more acidic pH in the urinary tract. However, more recent research suggests that compounds in cranberry may actually have a protective effect for healthy uroepithelial cells. Cranberry also functions as a potent antioxidant offering protection against oxidative damage.
In a one-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial which compared ActiFruit, cranberry juice and placebo in 150 women, both ActiFruit and cranberry juice were effective at promoting urinary tract health (the ActiFruit group reported slightly better results). Two participants in the juice group dropped out of the study because of side-effects from the juice (reflux). No participants discontinued treatment in the ActiFruit group. Both juice and ActiFruit increased urinary tract health by approximately 50 percent. However, ActiFruit was over 50 percent less expensive than the cranberry juice and was better tolerated by participants.
In a six-month trial of ActiFruit cranberry supplement, 93 percent of participants reported some or a significant support of urinary tract health. No side effects were experienced.
In a separate, six-month study of 60 women receiving 500 mg of ActiFruit with CranMax daily, 90 percent of participants experienced significant improvement in urinary and bladder health. Benefits included healthy urinary frequency and comfortable urination.
Enzymatic Therapy's ActiFruit with Cran-Max contains 20 chewable (delicious) whole-fruit chews per box and retails for $12.50.
