Cran-Aid helps maintain urinary tract health by combining whole cranberry fruit concentrate with herbs traditionally used to aid the urinary tract. Clinical trials have shown that preparations made with whole cranberry fruit help maintain urinary tract health. Uva ursi is a urinary tract antiseptic that combines well with cranberry for enhanced effect. As a healthful complement to our refreshingly tart Cran-Aid we also recommend drinking several cups of water or unsweetened herbal teas throughout the day.
How does it taste? The fruity, tart and refreshing taste of cranberry is blended with herbal tastes- some bitter , some sweet.
