Cranberry Extract is an evergreen shrub that grows in bogs in North America. It produces dark red fruits that contain salicylic acid. Chemicals in cranberries keep bacteria from sticking to the cells in the urinary tract. But they don’t seem to be able to remove bacteria that are already stuck to these cells. This might explain why cranberry helps prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs), but doesn’t help treat them.
People commonly use cranberry to prevent UTIs. Cranberry is also used for kidney stones, enlarge prostate, the common cold, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Possibly Effective for
- Infections of the kidney, bladder, or urethra (urinary tract infections or UTIs). Taking certain cranberry products by mouth seems to help prevent UTIs in adult females. But it doesn’t seem to help people with neurogenic bladder, a condition caused by a spinal cord injury. It’s also not clear if it helps in children, elderly adults, or pregnant adults. It’s important to note that while cranberry might help prevent UTIs in some people, it shouldn’t be used to treat UTI
