Some experts believe that quinic acid, found abundantly in Cranberry, helps prevent the development of kidney stones.
Each dose provides 1000 mg of cranberry extract with a minimal percentage of cynic acid, approximately 6%, and 3% proanthocyanidins, respectively. For additional support, 300 mg of uvaursi have been included which, according to clinical studies, destabilizes the membranes of unwanted particles, and 45 mg of grape seed extract, which is a powerful antioxidant with a high content of OPC's.

The cranberry extract is also used to treat infections such as cystitis, urethritis, and nephritis, and contains diuretic chemicals including ursolic acid, a powerful astringent. In addition to its antiseptic and astringent properties, uvaursi has the ability to help reduce uric acid and relieve pain from bladder stones.
