Description:

AZO Cranberry  is a dietary supplement designed to support urinary tract health. It helps cleanse and protect the urinary tract by preventing bacteria (like E. coli) from attaching to the bladder wall, using a concentrated whole-fruit cranberry powder . It provides benefits equivalent to drinking a glass of cranberry juice without the sugar, tart taste, or calories, and is commonly used daily to maintain urinary tract cleanliness and reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in healthy individuals (especially women prone to them).
