Why does cranberry juice help Cystitis?
Drinking pure (unsweetened) cranberry juice helps to produce Hippuric Acid in the urine, making urine more acidic. An acidic environment in the bladder helps to combat growth of bacteria such as E. Coli and Chlamydia, which can cause Cystitis and other urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice can also prevent bacteria from clinging to the inside of the bladder wall.
