cranberry powder?

Has anyone used cranberry powder rather than tablets for uti prevention? I’ve had the all clear for mum to take it but she will struggle with the big tabs so looking for a powder equivalent.

I may also go down the D mannose route but as that can cause diarrhoea am holding off…….diarrhoea led to a nasty bout of hemorraghic cystitis which was quite gruesome!

I know u ladies are the experts!

D-mannose also comes as powder - it is the main active component of cranberry juice though it is claimed there is something else in cranberries.

Hello. You might want to read this information: nice.org.uk/guidance/ng112/....

I and 2 of my friends - similar age (70) - have also had recurrent UTIs. Two of us have vaginal oestrogen pessaries and the other has a cream. Happily UTI - free! Horray!
