Can supplements help treat urinary tract infection?

Cranberry supplements are commonly used to treat a recurring urinary tract infection and can be found at one's local grocery and health food store. Cranberries are known to be acidic and this can be used to flush out the urinary system so when the cranberry reaches the urine, it creates an acidic barrier to kill off the bacteria and reduce infections. The important thing to note is to use cranberry juice (100% juice) and cranberry supplements to prevent a urinary tract infection from occurring in the first place. Once a UTI is developed, it won't be killed off by just cranberry supplements.

Why is cranberry juice recommended for bladder infections?

Well, both the cranberry and blueberry have a substance called tannin which prevents bacteria called Escherichia coli to attach to the inner wall of the urinary tract. It is a tube from the bladder which runs to the outside ureters (tube going to the bladder and kidneys). The tannins would prevent the bacteria from forming or binding to the urinary tract resulting it to be washed out of the bladder when urinating. I often have a cranberry juice since it can also help prevent prostate cancer. Either way, drink up on cranberry juice and make a toast to yourself knowing you cant go wrong with this drink!

Can cranberry juice help clean the system?

Cranberry juice can cleanse your system of bacterial toxins, through the process known as acidification of the urine. This is why cranberry juice has been scientifically proven to be helpful in curing UTIs (urinary tract infections). In addition, cranberry juice contains proanthocyanidins. This compound modifies bacterial cells, affecting the cell membrane, and condensing the bacterial cells. Furthermore, cranberry juice compounds interrupt communication between bacterial cells and creates an energy barrier between bacteria and the urinary tract. With regard to cleansing your system of drug-related toxins and their metabolites, drinking cranberry juice only seems to have the same effect as drinking lots of water. It will dilute the toxins, but not really eliminate them any faster than your body can already deal with them, metabolically.
