I bought above Oriyen Cranberry Chewable Tablets from my colleage and the benefit like below.
I found this from other website and I copt it and paste it here about the beneficial of Cranberry....
UTIs
are usually caused by E. coli, a type of bacteria that is normally
found in the digestive tract. They can also be found on the skin around
the rectum, and may even make their way up into the bladder. Although
UTIs are often associated with women, men and children can suffer from
UTIs too. Symptoms of UTIs include an urgent desire to empty the
bladder, frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, the
feeling of having to urinate(even though little or no urine actually
comes out), lower abdominal pain, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine. If
left untreated, bacteria can travel up to and infect the kidneys, causing serious complications.
Due
to the fact that strong antibiotics can irritate the stomach and kill
off the friendly bacteria in the gut (and that more E. coli strains are
becoming resistant to them), antibiotics are no longer the best solution
for UTIs. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association
(JAMA), cranberries can offer great protection and relief from UTIs —
including the ones that are resistant to antibiotic treatment.
Studies
show that cranberries contain A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) which are
more effective in inhibiting the adhesion of E. coli to the urinary
tract epithelium than the B-type proanthocyanidins found in other
sources. When E. coli bacteria are unable to stick to the urinary tract
walls, they are unable to cause any mischief. The beneficial effects
start within two hours after intake and can last up to 10 hours in the
urine.
Other Benefits of Cranberry
Improves gastric ulcers
Helicobacter
pylori infects up to 60% of the world’s population, causing gastric and
duodenal ulcers and increasing the risk of gastric cancer. Although
there may not be any obvious symptoms until a gastric ulcer has reached
an advanced stage, some of the earlier symptoms include bloating,
frequent burping, nausea, change in appetite, or a burning pain in the
stomach. Helicobacter pylori is transmitted through saliva, so sharing
food or eating out may pose a risk if the food or eating utensils are
contaminated. Fortunately, studies show that cranberries can effectively
stop Helicobacter pylori bacteria from attaching to the stomach
crevices that can protect them from stomach acids. When exposed to
stomach acids, the bacteria are destroyed, flushed out and expelled from
the gastrointestinal tract.
Encourages healthy gums & teeth, & keeps breath fresh
Cranberries
prevent bacteria from sticking to the teeth, keeping teeth cleaner
longer. This helps to prevent the formation of plaque, tooth decay and
bleeding gums. Cranberries have the power to crush offensive-smelling
bacteria that can build up in the mouth and lead to bad breath.
Encourages healthy heart & reduces stroke damage
Cranberries
contain significantly high amounts of flavonoids and polyphenolic
compounds that help prevent the oxidation of LDL (‘bad cholesterol’).
This reduces the risk of plaque formation that would otherwise restrict
blood flow. Studies, including one by the University of
Massachusetts-Dartmouth, concluded that cranberries may reduce the brain
cell damage associated with stroke. These findings suggest that
cranberries can reduce the severity of stroke, and aid in recovery,
particularly during the earliest stages, when the most severe damage
occurs.
Reduces the risk of kidney stones
The
quinic acid in cranberries reduces ionised calcium, thus, reducing the
risk of kidney stone formation, even among those prone to recurring
kidney stones.
Promotes a fairer & more youthful-looking complexion
Free
radicals destroy collagen in the skin, causing wrinkles and sagging
skin. They can also cause skin to appear dull, red or inflamed.
Cranberries have a very high ORAC value (which means that they have
potent antioxidant capabilities and can effectively quench free radicals
for fairer, more youthful skin)
Alleviates gout
Cranberries
help to eliminate uric acid that could otherwise crystallise around the
joints and cause the painful symptoms of gout.
Improves anaemia & relieves tiredness
Cranberries
are naturally rich in vitamin C and aid the absorption of iron, which
is crucial for the red blood cells in the body. Without sufficient iron,
one can feel persistently tired, due to a lack of oxygen caused by low
haemoglobin levels
