Findings from a few laboratory studies suggest that cranberry may have antioxidant properties.

Making the urine acidic can help keep bacteria down. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals.

Microbiotas are “friendly, beneficial” bacteria that produce essential nutrients; prevent overgrowth of infectious organisms; boost intestinal immunity; and prevent inflammation.
