Cranberry

this supplement has a reputation for being helpful for urinary tract infections. There is literature to support its use to limit the growth of E.coli. This bacteria can cause urinary tract infections, food poisoning and is often seen in high quantities in individual with leaky gut. I often like to suggest using cranberry in conjunction with a number of other supplements that may have antimicrobial properties. I find that the group that works extremely well together is Oregon Grape, Neem, Myrrh, Golden Seal, Cranberry, Oregamax, +/- Urva Ursi.
