Cran Flora with Probiotics Plus Ester C. This unique combination promotes & protects the health of the urinary tract & intestines, while also supporting a healthy immune system. Supplying a comprehensive blend of highly concentrated cranberry powder, L. acidophilus & Ester C. Antibacterial compounds in cranberry such as Dmannose, & to a lesser extent hippuric acid, inhibit pathogenic bacteria such as streptococcus & E coli in the urinary tract. At least part of this mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial adherence to the urinary tracts mucosal surface. This action is especially useful in urinary tract infections e.g.cystitis.L. acidophilus is a natural probiotic found in the gastrointestinal tract & in fermented foods such as yoghurt. It is thought that probiotics colonise the small intestine, helping to promote a proper balance of intestinal flora while encouraging a favourable environment for the absorption of nutrients. Ester C, a nonacidic form of vitamin C formulated to be gentle on the stomach, utilises naturallyoccurring vitamin C metabolites to increase the absorption & bioavailability of this essential nutrient.
