Cranberry is a small, evergreen shrub grown throughout North America. Cranberries contain a potent compound which is known as proanthocyanidin. This compound possesses special anti-adherence properties which have been found to prevent bacteria from adhering to cells located in the urinary tract and bladder. This not only helps to prevent urinary tract infections from reoccurring but consuming cranberry extract supplements can also help fight off the infection quicker.
