Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how cranberry intake can help prevent UTIs by looking at gut microbes and urinary biomarkers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy women who are prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Participants should weigh at least 110 pounds with a BMI between 18.5-29.9 kg/m2. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have significant health issues, take medications that could affect the study's outcome, or have a BMI of 30 or higher cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if drinking cranberry juice can prevent UTIs in women likely to get them by increasing urine's anti-adhesion properties against E. coli bacteria. It will also identify gut microbes and biomarkers related to this effect.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cranberry juice is generally safe but may cause mild stomach upset or diarrhea in some people. The placebo juice is unlikely to cause side effects.
