Ingredients
- Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) - 300 mg
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - 50 mg
Vaccinium macrocarpon or cranberry is renowned for its ability to prevent urinary tract infections and is said to work by preventing bacteria from being able to stick to the walls of your urinary tract and then assisting your body to naturally pass them through urine although, research advises that this ingredient alone cannot treat urinary tract infections, it may also help to reduce the smell of urine that is associated with incontinence. Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is known to be important for many body functions and developments such as immune system functions and health.
Dosage Instructions
Take one capsule once or twice per day along with meals. Instead of swallowing, the two-piece capsule may be pulled apart and contents sprinkled over food or into drinks. The dosage of 300mg of Vaccinium Macrocarpon seems rather high and may cause side effects such as an upset stomach or diarrhea. If your symptoms seem to either persist or worsen, it is advised that you should seek immediate medical attention as it could lead to worse health issues if untreated.

Summary Of Our Blackmores Cranberry Review
This product has the strength that it contains a high dose of cranberry which is known for helping treat UTI. The dosage allows either swallowing or pouring over food/drink for ease of use. On the less positive side, there are no discounts for new customers or bulk buyers, shipping is an extra cost, and the manufacturer fails to offer any type of money back guarantee or return policy. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that this product is made in an FDA certified facility, that it is free from fillers and binders, that its ingredients are GMO free, or that the capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. There are insufficient explanations of possible side effects on the product website. The supplement is very expensive considering one bottle costs $36.79 and only contains enough capsules for one month of use, and if you live outside of Australia, you need to pay international shipping of about $18. For these reasons we are unable to recommend this product as a supplement for treating your UTI. We recommend that you should consider one with a reliable guarantee and return policy, with a better price and much cheaper shipping, and discounts for bulk orders.
