While you may be used to eating cranberries as a sauce at Thanksgiving or dried and tossed into a salad, many people also drink cranberry juice.
These sour fruits are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, and their juice is often said to offer a variety of benefits for women, in particular.
In fact, many people claim that cranberry juice helps prevent or treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Although scientific results are mixed, some studies suggest that cranberry juice is effective for this purpose — and may even have other benefits for women’s health.
•Benefits of cranberry juice for women’s health•
Rumors abound that cranberry juice may improve people’s sex lives by changing the flavor of vaginal secretions.
While these claims are scientifically unfounded, some evidence suggests that cranberry juice may positively affect postmenopausal health, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, and signs of aging.
•Sexual health•
Some sources assert that drinking cranberry juice may improve sexual experiences by enhancing the flavor of vaginal secretions.
While one study list diets as one of several factors that influence the vagina’s microbiome, no scientific evidence supports the claim that cranberry juice can improve vaginal taste.
Thus, drinking cranberry juice is unlikely to boost your sex life.
•Postmenopausal health•
Menopause marks the cessation of menstruation. It comes with a host of hormonal changes that may lead to unpleasant symptoms, such as mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and an increased risk of UTIs (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).
Interestingly, animal studies indicate that cranberry juice may support postmenopausal health.
One older study in rats that had their ovaries removed found that regular cranberry intake reduced total cholesterol and other heart-health biomarkers. The removal of the rats’ ovaries imitates the reduction in hormones after menopause in women.
•May help prevent signs of aging and promote immunity•
Cranberries are incredibly high in antioxidants, which are powerful compounds that help neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals in your body. These berries’ antioxidants include vitamin C, quercetin, flavonoids, and anthocyanin.
