LATEST RESEARCH UPDATE: A 2023 Cochrane Review concluded that cranberry products reduce the risk of symptomatic, culture-verified UTIs. This review included 50 studies and 8857 participants and found: 1) cranberry products (juice, tablets, or capsules) significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic, culture-verified UTIs in all groups (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.84); 2) Cranberry tablets or capsules significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic, culture-verified UTIs (RR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.49 to 0.84). The review also evaluated cranberry products separately in six different populations, and found statistically significant UTI risk reduction among: Women with a history of recurrent UTIs (RR= 0.74, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.99), children (RR= 0.46, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.68) and adults with susceptibility to urinary UTI associated with medical or surgical intervention (RR= 0.47, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.61).
