Dried Cranberry

"Dried Cranberries May Help Prevent Urinary Tract Infections"

Thanks to their antioxidant content, eating dried cranberries may help prevent recurring urinary tract infections. Did you know that urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections, affecting nearly 150 million people every year, especially women(1)?

Dried cranberries are also a source of fiber and vitamin E (2,3).

Native Americans used cranberries as a medicine to treat arrow wounds and to dye rugs and blankets (4).
