Tap into the power of CRANBERRIES!

Who needs expensive, over-hyped, goji and acai berries when you can get serious healing power from the season’s best kept superfood secret—and all for a fraction of the price, just fifty cents a cup! The North American Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is the most commonly used cranberry in the US. Cranberries rank among the highest antioxidant contents of any fruit, which means they top the anti-inflammatory food chart and are safe and effective medicine for helping reduce cancer and heart disease risk. What’s more, they are packed with a plant chemical called proanthocyanidins, a type of flavonoid polyphenol known to carry extraordinary salutary effects, especially for the heart. Cranberries also house a nice amount of the palliative vitamin antioxidant, vitamin C. Both antioxidant compounds work in tandem to prevent urinary tract and other pesky infections. (Cranberries have been shown to prevent the adhesion of harmful bacteria along the inner lining of the urinary tract.)
