For starters, the bad news is that cranberry products likely don't help with a UTI once it's already developed. No studies have shown that drinking cranberry juice or taking a cranberry supplement actually works to treat UTIs.

Drinking warm water before bed will increase the likelihood that you will urinate more at night.
Read More »If you have a urinary tract infection (UTI), you want it gone ASAP. UTI symptoms aren't just inconvenient and annoying, they're downright uncomfortable — with notable ones including a frequent urge to urinate and a burning sensation, or even pain, as you do. Having to deal with these symptoms is common, especially for women. What's more, UTI recurrence can be fairly common too. The chance of a UTI cropping up again within six months falls just shy of 25% for women between the ages of 18 and 40. So if you get them frequently, you're likely looking for ways to prevent the next one. Cranberry juice is a classic UTI home remedy. In fact, maybe the only reason you even stock the juice in the fridge is because you get such infections often — or when you feel one coming on. If you can't stand the sour taste of cranberry juice, you might be thinking about trying a cranberry pill or tablet instead.

And even in the few smaller studies that have shown some UTI prevention benefit for cranberry products — cranberry juice, primarily — it's important to note that many participants dropped out or ultimately failed to comply. This suggests that the frequency or amount of cranberry juice needed to achieve this small benefit may not be sustainable for many people. Supplemental formulations of cranberry, including tablets and powders, might be more palatable than sour-tasting cranberry juice. But they contain differing amounts of proanthocyanidins. In some cases, the amount may not be enough. Without an effective dose, a cranberry product is even less likely to prevent bacteria from sticking to urinary tract linings. Still, while the science doesn't seem to be there, there's likely no harm in using cranberry products to try to prevent a UTI. Just know that there isn't necessarily a benefit either. If you do decide to regularly drink cranberry juice for UTI prevention, however, be sure to choose unsweetened cranberry juice from among the many blends containing substantial amounts of added sugar. And always consult your doctor before starting any supplement. You'll need to be sure that it doesn't impact any health conditions you may have or interfere with medications you're taking.
