Until recently, scientists lacked an explanation for cranberry's beneficial properties, but today, modern pharmacology is beginning to provide answers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudies have confirmed cranberry�s support for the urinary tract and have begun to identify how it works. Drawing on this knowledge, and Michael Tierra�s more than 30 years of clinical experience, Planetary Herbals has developed a dynamic urinary tract support formula: Cranberry Bladder Defense. \u003cstrong\u003eCranberry Bladder Defense\u003c\/strong\u003e combines the traditional wisdom of herbalists with modern scientific research, offering you cranberry in a highly concentrated form�without the sugar commonly used in juices and with additional herbs renowned for cleansing and tonifying the bladder.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Best of Science and Tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCranberries were esteemed for their high nutritional value by Native Americans, who combined them with dried meat and fats into pemmican cakes. They introduced the berry to the early colonists, who enthusiastically seized on the refreshing New World fruit but added lots of sugar to their cranberry puddings and tarts to eliminate the sourness and astringent quality. In the 1880s, cranberry was recognized for its specific benefits to the urinary tract by German physicians who noted its cleansing properties.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCranberry Plant Acids are the Key\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModern research has identified several important compounds associated with cranberry. Most important of these are the anthocyanins�a unique class of flavonoids that give certain plants their blue and red colors�and a family of unique plant acids. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants which can scavenge free radicals. Cranberry  plant acids, including quinic, malic, citric, and benzoic acids, along with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), help to reduce the pH of the urinary tract, helping to support a healthy bladder. In addition, the astringency of the plant acids, including vitamin C, helps to add tonicity to the genitourinary tract, thereby supporting the integrity of healthy tissue.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cranberry extract used in Cranberry Bladder Defense is a highly concentrated plant preparation. Because it is concentrated, it contains more of cranberry beneficial constituents than either the actual fruit or the powdered herb. The extract also is readily absorbed into the bloodstream because it does not contain the indigestible components of the plant cell walls.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRenowned Herbs from North America and China\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCranberry Bladder Defense was developed by world renowned herbalist and author Michael Tierra.
