New Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex with Proantinox reduces incidence of UTIs in women: Study
Published on July 15, 2010 at 4:43 AM ·
"This new study's findings are very exciting since they show that a small dose of Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex with Proantinox may help prevent recurring UTIs versus asking women to drink multiple glasses of pure cranberry juice, which does not taste very good, or a half-gallon of cranberry juice cocktail every day, which is loaded with sugar," says Elizabeth Kavaler, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology at Weill Cornell Medical College and author of A Seat on the Aisle, Please! The Essential Guide to Urinary Tract Problems in Women. "In fact, just one tablespoon (15ml) of new Cystex Liquid Cranberry is equivalent to the cranberry benefit of eight, eight-ounce glasses of cranberry juice and has 17 times more proanthocyanidins (PACs) than cranberry tablets, which prevent E. coli bacteria - the most common cause of UTIs - from sticking to the cell lining in the urinary tract."
New Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex with Proantinox is available this month from DSE Healthcare Solutions nationwide at drug and mass market retailers, including Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Duane Reade, for a suggested retail price of $9.95.

When my kidneys failed and I had constant UTIs, I took tons of every kind of cranberry capsule/tablet available. I still got a UTI almost every 3-4 months. About a year ago, I stopped taking the cranberry products and haven't had a UTI since... :o

I'm just the opposite kamar I used to have three or four UTIs a year. Now I take 20000mg cranberry a day, tablet form, and have had two in three years. I swear by it. Interesting to read that it doesn't work for everyone.
