    cranberry and lemonade make ur urine acid and therefore prohibits the growth of bacteria.You should get 100% juice not cocktail or concentrate. You need to find out why u keep getting UTI;s Are u wiping from back to front when u use the toilet,that could cause it.Have u been checked for Diabetes.Are u sexually active.A partner could be infecting you.Do not drink plenty of water at least 8 glasses per day.Also a soak in your tube with white vinegar can help as well.If this continues you should consult a urologist for an evaluation.An untreated UTI can develop into a serious complication called pyelonephritis which can permanently damage ur kidneys. Good Luck

    Yes, some studies show that cranberry juice may prevent a UTI. Cranberry juice makes the urine more acidy, which may make it harder for bacteria to adhere to the lining of the bladder wall. However, it will have no effect on an active infection. If you actually have an infection, it needs to be resolved with antibiotics.

    Cranberry juice is great for helping to prevent UTIs, try to have at least a glass a day.
