    • To be honest, I would suggest drinking Cranberry juice and eating yogurt - pills like that aren't regulated

    • Drinking the juice will help you pee more to prevent the bacteria from traveling up your urinary tract. Also, specific sugars in cranberry juice bind to Type 1 fimbriae on E. coli bacteria (that they normally use to bind to mannose-containing receptors on urinary slime). Binding to the cranberry sugar prevents the bacteria from binding to your urinary tract!
