Cranberry Essentials

For centuries, cranberry juice has been used successfully to maintain a healthy urinary tract environment. Dr. Whitaker's Cranberry Essentials® combines powerful extracts from both cranberries and blueberries, along with vitamin C, for optimal urinary health maintenance. The cranberry extract contains substantial quantities of a sugar derivative that helps protect the lining of the bladder. And with Cranberry Essentials, you don't have to worry about the calories or inconvenience of drinking glassfuls of juice each day, because its benefits are concentrated in easy-to-take capsules. Cranberry Essentials provides:

• Cranberry extract with derivatives of the sugar, d-mannose, which research has identified as a key factor in maintaining a normal urinary tract environment


• Blueberry extract, which promotes robust urinary tract tissue and offers powerful antioxidant protection


• Vitamin C to protect cells against oxidative damage, and help maintain normal immune system function.

Cranberry Essentials is a natural way to urinary tract health -- why not try it today?
