Cranberry Supplement

for UTI

Daily cranberry extract supplement (PAC standardised, 36mg proanthocyanidins) or 240ml unsweetened cranberry juice for UTI prevention.

How it works

Proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberry prevent E. coli bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract, reducing the likelihood of infection taking hold.

What to watch for

More effective for prevention than treatment of active infections. Cranberry juice contains high sugar — supplements are preferable. Not a replacement for antibiotics in active infection.
