Sisu Sisu - Cranberry Ultra, 60 vcaps

Sisu Cranberry Ultra - 400 mg - Cranberry juice has been traditionally used in herbal medicine to help prevent urinary tract infections. Cranberries have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties derive from the proanthocyanidins (flavonoids) in cranberries. Urinary tract infections begin when bacteria adhere to cell walls, but cranberry interferes with this adhesion process, causing bacteria to be washed away instead. Each capsule of Cranberry Ultra 400 mg contains the equivalent of 222 ml of a 30% cranberry juice, but without any unnecessary extras, such as sugar. The quantity has been carefully formulated to give optimal protection against urinary tract infection, based on the latest scientific research. Taking just 1 capsule daily of Cranberry Ultra 400 mg provides powerful protection against urinary tract infection.

Best suited to: women with a repeat history of urinary trouble, anyone drinking cranberry juice for this, people who could not keep up with unsweetened juice.

What the research supports

One capsule concentrates 400 mg of cranberry extract, about a cup of juice without the sugar, plus 60 mg of vitamin C. The bottle lasts two months.

Studies use about 36 mg of PACs a day.

Urinary tract (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
Cranberry's proanthocyanidins change the surface of common gut bacteria so they can't grip the urinary tract lining. Women with a history of repeat episodes see fewer of them in trials.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

women with a repeat history of urinary trouble
that is the one group where daily cranberry proanthocyanidins have shown a consistent result, taken over months rather than weeks.
anyone drinking cranberry juice for this
one capsule matches roughly a cup of 30 percent juice without the sugar and the acid that come with drinking it every day.
people who could not keep up with unsweetened juice
a 50:1 concentrate puts the fruit's proanthocyanidins in a swallowed capsule, so there is nothing to taste and nothing to sweeten.

Look elsewhere if

someone with burning or urgency right now
acute symptoms need a practitioner today. This works on bacterial adhesion over weeks and does nothing about something already established.
anyone told to keep oxalate intake down
cranberry is a relatively high oxalate fruit and a 50:1 concentrate carries that through. D-mannose gives you urinary support without the oxalate load.
people who want an answer inside a week
the label itself asks for four weeks. If a week is your horizon, this is not the category to be shopping in.

What to expect

Nothing you can feel, ever. The label asks for four weeks minimum and the trials that found anything ran six to twelve months of continuous daily use. Judging this after a few days tells you nothing at all.

How it compares

Compared with unsweetened cranberry juice
the concentrate delivers a cup's worth of proanthocyanidins in one capsule, with no sugar and no acid hitting your teeth twice a day. The tradeoff: juice also brings the fluid volume, and simply flushing the urinary tract with fluid is genuinely part of why juice appears to help.
Compared with D-mannose powder
cranberry proanthocyanidins interfere with a different bacterial attachment structure than mannose does, and cranberry has by far the longer record of daily use over months. The tradeoff: D-mannose is taken in gram doses and is the usual pick when someone wants something that acts within hours instead of over weeks.
