No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study is based on the hypothesis that consumption of cranberry juice products results in the production of metabolites in the urine that have anti-adhesive properties on bacteria. A crossover study using 12 healthy women will be given different cranberry products or water as a control and their urine will be analyzed for anti-adhesive effects and compared to the properties of the urine. Cranberry juice will also be evaluated for its effect on vaginal microflora.
