Cranberry Extract

Dietary Supplement

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the urinary catabolites of PACs as a biomarker of consumption of cranberry extracts within 9 hours of intercourse. Once a week, for 3 weeks, the women will receive a sequence of 3 different cranberry extracts (72 mg, 36 mg and 2mg (placebo)). The participant will have to collect its urine for a period of 9 hours in 3 different containers (one different container for 3 hours).
