Ethnobotanical Studies

Clinical Trials

Cranberry-lingonberry juice affects the gut and urinary microbiome in children - a randomized controlled trial.

Cranberry juice alters urinary microbiome in children with UTIs, reducing Proteobacteria and increasing Firmicutes, potentially preventing infections. Drinking cranberry juice may be beneficial for UTI prevention.
