Across 6 studies, 3 reported beneficial effects (ranging from small to large) and 3 reported neutral effects, with no harmful findings. The largest and highest-quality evidence (a 2025 network meta-analysis of 50 RCTs) found a large beneficial effect for cranberry-containing triple therapy in reducing UTI incidence. However, other studies, including a 2024 RCT and a 2013 systematic review, showed neutral results. The median study duration was approximately 5 months (153 days), but doses and forms were poorly reported, and effects were most studied in clinical populations (women with recurrent UTIs).
