Cranberry Capsules 55,000mg - High Strength Cranberry Extract vs Solgar Evening Primrose Oil

Pros

• ✓Several reviewers use it to help prevent UTIs or cystitis, and one says they've had no UTIs in two years
• ✓Four reviewers praise the price or call it good value
• ✓A few reviewers say the capsules are easy to swallow and not too big
• ✓Two reviewers say they had no side effects, one of them a repeat buyer

Cons

• ✗The 55,000mg headline is a fresh-fruit equivalent from a 50:1 extract, not the actual amount of cranberry in each serving
• ✗The label doesn't give a PAC content, so you can't compare its strength with clinical cranberry products
• ✗A few reviewers noticed no effect, and one dismissed the 'triple strength' claim
• ✗Not third-party tested
