Hydration with Cranberry Extract: While it’s widely known that staying hydrated is crucial for preventing UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection), the specific role of cranberry extract is less commonly understood. Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins, which prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. Drinking pure cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplements can be an effective preventive measure. However, it’s important to choose products with high concentrations of cranberry extract and minimal added sugars to maximize the benefits.
