The CRANFIX is a unique combination of extract cranberry with vitamin C, selenium and zinc, designed to contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system of people suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections.
Most urinary tract infections are caused by a microorganism, the bacterium Escherichia coli (E.coli), which colonizes the large intestine and causes 80% of urinary tract infections in adults.
E.coli has the unique ability to attach to the cells of the urethral walls and cause recurrent infections as it resists the body's natural mechanisms to remove it after treatment with antibiotics.
The above adaptation mechanisms strain the body's immune system.
CRANFIX, thanks to its proanthocyanidin-rich (PACs) cranberry extract, inhibits the ability of E.coli bacteria to attach to the urinary epithelium. Vitamin C, selenium and zinc help the immune system to function properly.
The CRANFIX delivers a consistent and guaranteed amount of 18mg PACs per capsule. With only 2 CRANFIX capsules daily, the patient takes the minimum amount of PACs (36mg) required for antibacterial action of Cranberries extract.
