Cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections

CONCLUSIONS: This update adds a further 26 studies taking the total number of studies to 50 with 8857 participants. These data support the use of cranberry products to reduce the risk of symptomatic, culture-verified UTIs in women with recurrent UTIs, in children, and in people susceptible to UTIs following interventions. The evidence currently available does not support its use in the elderly, patients with bladder emptying problems, or pregnant women.PMID:37068952 | PMC:PMC10108827 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD001321.pub6
