no its just citric acid with other flavorings
No, it the expressed juice of the cranberry. Der. Other junk is sometimes added to improve the flavor, and in Russia they used to infuse water with the berries.
thats just a myth
No, studies have shown the cranberry to contain a compound that stops bacteria sticking to the lining of the urinary tract. This helps the body prevent or even fight urinary tract infections, the most common cause of blood in the urine. So it is often recommended by naturapaths and herbalists for recurring cystitis (inflammation and/or infection of the bladder). But antibiotics work better and without them you are courting damage to the kidneys. So see a doctor!
Also note that eating beetroot can cause some of the beetroot dye to be excreted into the urine, making it appear bloody! But this is not harmful. Real blood in the urine is usually accompanied by a mild to painful burning sensation when passing urine. But if the problem persists even if there is no pain, again, see a doctor! And stop relying on the internet for dodgy medical advice!
i suggest just purely drinking water with some salt
Again, more bad advice. Putting salt into your drinking water is almost never recommended by medical professionals nowadays. And adding extra stress to your already straining kidneys sounds like a really bad idea to me.
In the past there were salt tablets for people to take in times of extreme exertion or heat stress. They worked great if take with plenty of water, but were extremely dangerous when taken without adequate water, and could cause kidney failure and death! Just use Gatorade or whatever to be safe. And it's not going to do squat for your blood in the urine, just make you feel better if you have lost electrolytes from sweat!
But you should try to drink a fair amount of water when you have a urinary infection to dilute the urine to make it less painful to pee, if nothing else.
What the person was probably thinking of was urinary alkalizers, such as Ural and many other brands. They have usually sodium bicarbonate and citric acid and/or sodium citrate in them. They change the pH (basically acidity) of your blood to make it slightly more alkaline. This makes the urine more alkaline, which makes passing it much more bearable. But it is only a symptomatic treatment, so you need to go and see a doctor and get the underlying cause of why you are passing blood sorted out!
Hope you get better soon!
Cranberry juice. Ah, cranberry juice.Quick answer: No.Long answer:Cranberry juice fools a urine test in two ways: it's a diuretic, a drug that makes you pee more, and it changes the pH of your urine. Neither one of those things is going to help you on a blood test.
It wount help at all. Drink alot of water and pee it out or detox juice.
Theres is a possibility you may have a urinary tract infection or a bladder infection. Make a doctors appointment just in case. But for now you can flush out your system by drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. If you don't like cranberry juice they also have cranberry vitamins you can purchase at your local store. There also is a medication called urnistat that you can buy right over the counter at Walgreen's for example.
No it shouldn't hurt. painful wee can sometimes be caused by cystitis. Drinking cranberry juice and foods rich in vitamin c can help cure it.
lots of cranberry juice, lots of water, pee alot, and take detox
No, but who takes one puff.
Cranberyy juice does nothing, it is a rediculous stoner myth from people who have no idea how the body works.
Usually burning while urinating means you have a urinary tract infection. Call your doctor to have a urine test done. In the mean time drink Cranberry tea or take some cranberry pills. Not both either do one or the other. Try to stay away from the juice unless it is pure Cranberry Juice not the cockateil due to the sugar.
Cranberry juice will NOT clean your system. It is a diuretic, which means it makes you pee a lot. If you are asking this question because of an upcoming drug test, the only way cranberry juice will help you pass is because of it's diuretic properties. Basically, if you drink water to try and beat a test, and it works, it will only work because you're literally just peeing water, and not drug molecules.
I'd say you either have a urinary track infection aka uti or perhaps clamydia. with the uti try drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. if that doesn't help go to the doc, it might be an std
If you're female and it hurts to urinate, you may have a bladder infection. Drink cranberry juice regularly, and see your doctor tomorrow.
drinks lots and lots of cranberry juice, buy some of those detox pills at your local headshop, and buy a tablet to put in your pee test to make it clean, or a pee-belt good luck
