Nutritional supplements, such as cranberry juice, have been proven to be clinically effective against UTIs.

Moreover, the FDA stated that consuming 500 mg [X capsules/tablets/soft gels] each day may help reduce the risk of recurrent UTI in healthy women. Additionally, in 2004, France became the first country to approve a health claim for the North American cranberry (Vacciniummacrocarpon) as 36 mg of proanthocyanidins has been state to help reduce the adhesion of certain E. coli to urinary tract walls.
