Frequently Asked Questions About Cranberry Juice (Unsweetened)
Does unsweetened cranberry juice help prevent UTIs?
It may help reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections for some people, but it does not work for everyone and cannot guarantee prevention. The evidence concerns prevention, not treatment of an infection that has already started.
Can unsweetened cranberry juice cure a UTI?
No, unsweetened cranberry juice cannot cure a urinary tract infection. It does not reliably clear the bacteria causing an infection, so do not use it instead of prescribed treatment.
Is unsweetened cranberry juice the same as cranberry juice cocktail?
No. Unsweetened cranberry juice has no added sugar, while cranberry juice cocktail commonly contains added sweeteners and may be blended with other fruit juices. The two can taste and differ substantially in sweetness.
Why does unsweetened cranberry juice taste so sour?
Cranberries are naturally tart and astringent, and added sugar usually masks that flavor. Dilute unsweetened cranberry juice with water or sparkling water, or mix a small amount into a smoothie.
Does unsweetened cranberry juice contain sugar?
Yes, it can contain natural sugars from the fruit even when no sugar has been added. “Unsweetened” describes added sweeteners, not necessarily a complete absence of sugars or carbohydrates.
How long does unsweetened cranberry juice last after opening?
Keep opened unsweetened cranberry juice tightly closed in the refrigerator and follow the storage directions on its package. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes noticeably.
Can you drink unsweetened cranberry juice on an empty stomach?
Yes, but its acidity may irritate a sensitive stomach or cause discomfort. If that happens, have it with food or dilute it with water.
Can unsweetened cranberry juice cause diarrhea?
It can cause stomach upset or loose stools in some people, particularly when a large amount is consumed. Stop drinking it if symptoms occur and see whether they settle.
Does unsweetened cranberry juice interact with warfarin?
It may affect warfarin’s action in some cases, and reports of interactions have been inconsistent. If you take warfarin, ask your doctor or pharmacist before making cranberry juice a regular part of your diet.
Can unsweetened cranberry juice cause kidney stones?
There is no clear evidence that ordinary servings cause kidney stones in everyone. Research on cranberry products and stone risk is mixed, so people with a history of stones should avoid making large amounts a daily habit.

What is Cranberry Juice (Unsweetened)?
Cranberry Juice (Unsweetened) is made from cranberries, with no sugar added. Cranberries are native to North America, where the juice is a familiar drink; elsewhere, including many English-speaking markets, it is often sold bottled and may be harder to find without sweetening.
Its sharp, tart flavour and light body make it refreshing served chilled, either on its own or diluted with still or sparkling water. It can accompany breakfast or a meal, and also works as a tart mixer. At 46 kcal per 100 g, it is relatively light, though the fruit still contributes carbohydrates. If you find the flavour too intense, dilute it rather than adding sweetener.
