Cranberry juice continues to be the best remedy for Urinary Tract infections.
Extracting the compounds thought to cure UTI’s is not enough.
It seems that it is the nature of the juice itself wherein lies the cure.
Currently, they have been taking a serious look at a group of flavonoids found in cranberries called proanthocyanidins. They believe that proanthocyanidins (aka PACs) are the source of the cranberry’s super-powerful infection fighting properties.
Unfortunately for the pharmaceutical industry… researchers at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute have recently found that “cranberry juice, itself, is far better at preventing biofilm formation, which is the precursor of infection, than PACs alone”.
