Nutrient Boosting Benefits: Cranberries contain proanthocyanidin antioxidants, which are essential for all-around wellness and keeping your body strong and healthy. Cranberries also may offer protection from tooth cavities, urinary tract infections, and are potent anti-inflammatories, helping to fight muscle damage after a tough workout.
