One of the most well-known cranberry benefits is its ability to act as a home remedy for urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are significantly more common in women than men due to the location of the urethra. They can affect any part of the urinary tract but occur most often in the bladder.

Antioxidants are compounds found in foods with vibrant colors, such as the dark red color of cranberries or the rich blue/purple color of blueberries. All berries help fight free radicals thanks to their antioxidant content, but cranberries are one of the top sources.

Digestive health benefits from cranberries are undeniable because of the fruit’s ability to balance bacteria in the body. This decreases harmful “bad” bacteria and facilitates the growth of beneficial bacteria. This not only relieves symptoms like constipation, diarrhea and stomach acid, but also helps boost immunity and nutrient absorption by fostering the health of the gut microbiome. 6.

Since the early 21 st century, raw cranberries have been marketed as a “ superfood” because of their hefty nutrient content and antioxidant qualities. Henry Hall, an American Revolutionary War veteran, is known to be the first to farm cranberries in the Cape Cod town of Dennis, Mass., around 1816. Did you know that cranberries contain one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of any fruit? That’s right — these incredible berries are loaded with health-promoting antioxidants, which studies show help protect cells against free radical damage and aid in the prevention of chronic disease. Weiss, E. I., Kozlovsky, A., Steinberg, D., Lev-Dor, R., Bar Ness, Greenstein R., Feldman, M., Sharon, N., and Ofek, I. A high molecular mass cranberry constituent reduces mutans streptococci level in saliva and inhibits in vitro adhesion to hydroxyapatite. FEMS Microbiol.Lett. 3-12-2004;232(1):89-92. View abstract. When choosing the best cranberries, look for fresh, plump ones that are a deep red color. This distinct cranberry color indicates that the fruit contains a higher concentration of the beneficial anthocyanin compounds. They should also be firm to the touch, as firmness can indicate good quality. According to some studies, cranberry extract can improve multiple aspects of immune function and may even lower the frequency of cold and flu symptoms. The high levels of proanthocyanidins that are found in cranberries help the body’s immune function ward off illness and disease. These powerful polyphenols are able to nurture the lining of the gut, where a large majority of the immune system is actually located.

We found 50 RCTs involving 8857 people. Forty-five RCTs compared cranberry with a placebo or no treatment. Taking cranberries as a juice, tablets or capsules reduced the number of UTIs in women with recurrent UTIs, in children with UTIs and in people susceptible to UTIs following an intervention such as bladder radiotherapy. However, UTIs did not appear to be reduced in elderly institutionalised men and women, in adults with neuromuscular bladder dysfunction and incomplete bladder emptying, or in pregnant women. Few people reported any side effects with the most common being tummy pain. We did not find enough information to determine if cranberry products are more or less effective compared with antibiotics or probiotics in preventing further UTIs.
