Ellura

The active ingredient in Ellura is concentrated cranberry juice powder. Cranberry fruit contains bioavailable proanthocyanidins that have anti-adhesion effects. It works by preventing UTI-causing bacteria from sticking to the bladder. This allows the harmful bacteria to get flushed away. Through this mechanism, Ellura is clinically proven to help with UTI prevention, chronic UTIs, and recurrent UTIs.
