There is some science behind the claims that cranberries can protect against urinary tract infection. especially in women who are prone to getting UTIs. Yet the benefit for other groups of people isn't as clear. Plus, there are no real recommendations on how much cranberry juice you'd need to drink to get any protection against UTIs.
Here's a look at the research on cranberries for urinary tract health and what the health experts have to say about these berries' benefits.
Drinking a 240 ml glass of cranberry juice per day can help women to keep urinary infection at bay, says a study led by an Indian-origin researcher.
The study suggests that cranberries can also aid in decreasing the worldwide use of antibiotics. Urinary tract infection (UTIs) is an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder or urethra.
