Cranberry contains proanthocyanidins that interfere with bacteria adhering to the urinary tract wall — bacteria that cannot attach get flushed out rather than establishing an infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a prevention mechanism rather than a treatment one, which is exactly how this product is licensed: Quest Cranberry helps prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. Each capsule carries 500 mg of cranberry dried juice concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcentrate matters here. Getting a useful quantity of proanthocyanidins from cranberry juice means drinking a great deal of it, most commercial cranberry juice is heavily sweetened, and the sugar load is counterproductive. A capsule of dried concentrate delivers the compounds without any of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne capsule daily, used for a minimum of four weeks to see a beneficial effect. Quest is a Canadian brand, manufacturing vitamins and minerals in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Quest Cranberry 500mg Dried Juice Concentrate Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for anyone prone to recurrent UTIs who wants a daily preventive rather than waiting for the next episode. It suits people who have been told to drink cranberry juice and would rather not deal with the sugar or the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is preventive, not a treatment. **An active UTI needs a doctor** — untreated infections can travel to the kidneys, and cranberry will not clear one. Give it a minimum of four weeks before judging it. Consult a practitioner if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or take medication, particularly blood thinners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuest Cranberry 500mg Dried Juice Concentrate Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500mg Dried Juice Concentrate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Concentrated cranberry without the sugar load of juice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps Prevent Recurrent UTIs\u003c\/strong\u003e — The specific licensed claim for this product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProanthocyanidin Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e — Interferes with bacteria adhering to the urinary tract wall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Added Sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unlike commercial cranberry juice, which is heavily sweetened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne Capsule Daily\u003c\/strong\u003e — Simple prevention routine rather than drinking litres of juice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Ingredient Simplicity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cranberry concentrate in a capsule with minimal excipients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e — A two-month supply, made in Canada.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-quest-cranberry-500mg-60-capsules\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Quest Cranberry 500mg?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA urinary tract supplement providing 500 mg of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) dried juice concentrate per capsule. 60 capsules.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eAdults: 1 capsule daily.
