Cranberry is better suited to preventing UTIs than treating an active infection. Cranberry juice does not work well enough to clear an established UTI, particularly one involving biofilm. Cranberry compounds prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall. Cranberry capsules are the preferred form for prevention, not cranberry juice. Cranberry juice contains sugar that can feed bacterial growth.
