Cranberry Juice

Internal medicineUrethritisRecurrence preventionOther

Ingredients

  • Pure cranberry juice (not sugary drink) about 200–300 ml daily

Principle

Type-A proanthocyanidins (PAC) may inhibit E. coli adhesion to urinary epithelium and lower infection risk. Reviews cite about 32% lower recurrent UTI risk; AUA/EAU recommend as non-antibiotic prevention (syndrome differentiation required).

Effects & uses

Daily prevention of recurrent urethritis; not treatment of acute infection.

Method

  1. Choose juice with adequate PAC (reference about 36 mg/day); drink directly.

How to use

  • Daily long-term use as preventive adjunct.

Caution

Avoid with warfarin and similar anticoagulants. Watch sugar with diabetes. Acute infection requires medical care—not cranberry alone. Daily food-care formula only.
