Why are some people more suseceptible to UTI’s (urinary tract infections) than others? Does drinking cranberry help and how?
Women in general are more susceptible because the length of the urethra is much shorter than men’s, making it easier for bacteria to traverse that length to the bladder. Also, gastrointestinal bacteria can easily make the journey from the anus through the intravaginal opening to the urethra with improper toilet habits (wipe from front to back!). Sexual intercourse may also contribute to introducing bacteria into the urethra. Cranberry is thought to be helpful in that it acidifies the urinary tract (as well as other parts of the body), but I would not rely on that to cure an infection. (Acidification inhibits bacterial growth.) It may be helpful in prevention.

D-Mannose D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is rapidly excreted in the urine. In the bladder, D-Mannose can adhere to bacterial lectins, preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder. Bacteria can then be flushed away during urination, thereby precluding the… |

Great info! Just like the post says, cranberry is great for urinary tract health. I recommend a high-quality product, like ellura, because it has the required amount of extract to maintain urinary tract health.
