Is Ocean Spray Cranberry juice eal cranberry juice – would it help speed up my URI infection?
You are better off with cranberry capsules as cranberry juice has too much sugar and it is best to avoid too much sugar if you have a UTI. Make sure you complete your course of antibiotics and take a probiotic such as acidophilus before you finish the antibiotics and for at least a week afterwards to help prevent yeast infections. Other herbs that can help: blueberry, buchu, asparagus, horsetail, nettle leaf tea. http://www.mothernature.com/ency/index.c… Cranberry is not a substitute for antibiotics for UTIs. It is a complementary therapy and can be taken as a preventative once the UTI has cleared up. Best wishes.
