Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) which were once an important medicine for native Americans to treat a variety of illnesses, including bladder infections. The active ingredients in cranberry include chemical compounds called proanthocyanidins which are potent antioxidants that appear to be able to decrease bacterial adherence to the bladder epithelium cells. The efficacy of cranberry juice extracts as a prophylactic agent against recurrent urinary infections is well documented in women. The anti-adhesion effect of cranberry-proanthocyandins can also be applied for treatment of other common diseases of bacterial pathogenesis, e.g. Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis and dental caries/periodontal disease.
Cranberries are also a source of polyphenol antioxidants. Studies show that cranberry extract has potent antioxidant properties in lab tests with low density lipoproteins. It has also been shown the possibility to increase interior blood vessel diameter in humans.
