I TAKE 4200 MGS/DAY AND UTI'S REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY; HOWEVER, BE AWARE THAT SOME UTI'S CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE. I HAVE A DISCHARGE SUMMARY THAT EXPLICITLY STATES "BRAIN DAMAGE DUE TO UTI'S". IF BAD ENOUGH, UTI GETS INTO BLOOD SYSTEM AND TRAVELS THRU ENTIRE BODY.

Started drinking the single servings of Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail twice/three times a day and in a week or so it was gone. If I skipped a day it would come right back or, if I only drank one bottle it would come back. Have to drink enough for it to actually work. I read that a bladder infection can sometimes go away by itself, but it can also go into the Kidneys so, I suggest that if you cannot get rid of it in a short period of time, go see a Dr. Something I do now is drink some cranberry juice on a regular basis to keep the infection away.

As a frequent flyer to the Urgent Care with UTIs every 3 months and a 9 day stay in the hospital with UTI so bad that it caused my delirium (I was asymptomatic) I tried the Diet Cranberry juice.Did nothing for me. I started taking 4200mg Cranberry Capsules, 2-3times daily. Haven't had a UTI in nearly a year! Brand name = Nature's Bounty

Had an UTI in mid 20's. Given antibiotics. Went away. Came back again approx. 3 months later. Diagnosed again. Doctor said I would probably have to live with recurring ones. I'm usually very healthy. Bothered he flippantly gave up. Give antibiotics. Didn't take them. Advised person to drink a lot of cranberry juice. After 2 days, the urination sting went away and after 2 weeks, or so, UTI was gone. NEVER had another one. Began my questioning of standard medicine and doctor's attitudes. Read on a medical site cranberry juice isn't effective after the UTI is established. As per my case, that ISN'T true because I already had the UTI before taking cranberry juice.
