Cochrane-Studie: Preiselbeersaft gegen Harninfektionen
(ht) Laut einer Cochrane-Übersichtsstudie gibt es Hinweise, dass Preiselbersaft bei Frauen die Anzahl von Harninfektionen deutlich senken kann. Allerdings zeigte sich, dass die Akzeptanz einer Einnahme über einen größeren Zeitraum hinweg relativ gering ist.
"There is some evidence from two good quality RCTs that cranberry juice may decrease the number of symptomatic UTIs over a 12 month period in women. If it is effective for other groups such as children and elderly men and women is not clear. The large number of dropouts/withdrawals from some of the trials indicates that cranberry juice may not be acceptable over long periods of time. In addition it is not clear what is the optimum dosage or method of administration (e.g. juice or tablets). Further properly designed trials with relevant outcomes are needed." - The Cochrane Collaboration, PMID: 17183963
