Cranberry is a rich source of polyphenols with antioxidant activity. However, cranberries are not always on the list of antioxidant-rich berries most people can name. When thinking about antioxidants, berries like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries are more likely to come to mind. However, cranberries are bursting with more beneficial polyphenol antioxidants than other commonly consumed fruits.

Prebiotics

In recent years, you've likely heard the terms "prebiotics" and "probiotics" countless times. If you’re still not sure what they mean, the main idea is that prebiotics and probiotics can be used to keep the good gut bacteria balanced.

Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, have been hailed as the ultimate support for the immune and digestive systems, however, probiotics would not be effective without prebiotics. Prebiotics are food ingredients that fuel the probiotics you consume and good bacteria in your gut.
