Cranberry tablets are basically just concentrated cranberry extract in a convenient pill form. They're like a supersized version of drinking cranberry juice, but without the sugar and calories. The idea is that the proanthocyanidins in cranberries will help prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder and urinary tract walls, thereby reducing the risk of UTIs.
Now, you might be wondering, are these tablets really effective in preventing UTIs? The answer is, it's not entirely clear. Some studies say yes, while others say no - it's like trying to predict the weather, you just can't be sure. But, what we do know is that cranberries have been used for centuries to help with UTIs, so there must be something to it, right?
