Berry blend may buy time after early water break
NCT ID NCT06788132
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a daily capsule of cranberry, hibiscus, vitamin C, and lactobacillus could lengthen the time between a pregnant woman's waters breaking early (between 24 and 34 weeks) and delivery. 84 women were randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo for 10 days. The goal was to see if the supplement could safely delay birth and reduce complications for both mother and baby.
