Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) exerts its primary action by inhibiting the adherence of bacteria to the lining of the urinary bladder and urethra. The proanthocyanidins (PACs) present in cranberry — particularly those with A-type linkages — are responsible for blocking the adhesion of P-fimbriated Escherichia coli to uroepithelial cells, thereby preventing bacterial colonisation rather than killing bacteria directly. At higher doses, cranberry also acts as a urinary antiseptic and may reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.

Cranberry is generally well tolerated at recommended doses.

Gastrointestinal: Stomach upset or diarrhea may occasionally occur, particularly at high doses.

Urinary: Prolonged use of high doses may increase the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
