Cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections
Meta-analysis / review
Abstract
This Cochrane review of 50 trials (8857 participants) found that cranberry products, whose proanthocyanidins inhibit adherence of p-fimbriated Escherichia coli to the bladder, reduce the risk of symptomatic urinary tract infections in women with recurrent UTIs, in children and in people susceptible to UTIs following interventions.
