Variability of commercial cranberry products for the prevention of uropathogenic bacterial adhesion
Chughtai, 2016
Conclusion excerpt:
Despite clinical trials showing the efficacy of cranberry in preventing urinary tract infections, the actual antiadhesion activity and concentration of active proantho- cyanidins in commercially available supplements is highly variable. In this study, several products contained virtually no active cranberry compounds. The clinical significance of this suggests that, although some are very potent, not all cran- berry supplements have sufficient active compound to potentially achieve biologically relevant outcomes for urinary tract infection prevention.
