Cranberry Bladder Defense
Planetary Herbals
Overview
Planetary Herbals Cranberry Bladder Defense features a blend of traditional herbs, with cranberry being the most scientifically recognized for urinary tract health. However, the use of a proprietary blend means the exact amounts of each ingredient are not disclosed, making it impossible to determine if clinically effective doses are present. While individual ingredients like Uva Ursi have a history of use, robust, high-quality human trials supporting their efficacy for bladder defense, especially in this multi-ingredient format and at unknown concentrations, are limited.
The Good
Contains cranberry, a well-researched ingredient for supporting urinary tract health and preventing recurrent UTIs.
Includes synergistic traditional herbs like Uva Ursi and Echinacea, which have historical use in supporting urinary and immune systems.
Formulated by a recognized herbalist (Michael Tierra L.Ac O.M.D), suggesting a thoughtful traditional approach to blending.
The Bad
Proprietary blend conceals individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Uva Ursi and Buchu are not recommended for long-term use and carry potential risks with extended intake.
Echinacea's effectiveness for immune support is mixed and may not be significant at unknown doses.
Is it for you?
