Cranberry juice: a UTI shield for some women?
NCT ID NCT04626362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores why cranberries prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in some women but not others. Researchers will test the urine of 55 healthy women before and after drinking cranberry juice to see if it stops bacteria from sticking to the bladder. The goal is to identify who might benefit from cranberries as a natural UTI prevention strategy.
