Not too sure but I drank it mixed with pineapple juice (tastes yukkie lol) to help CM although can't see it really had any effect on me!

I thought it was on the girl list, so wouldn't that make your body and urine more acidic?
Just wondering cause a friend of mine said she was taking it for a UTI, but I thought for UTI you want your urine more alkaline ?

yes cranberry traditionally helps UTIs, but it also lowers pH

The official story is that cran juice is girl friendly, but I think personally you have to drink a massive quantitiy of cran juice to affect your pH. I think a moderate amount of cran juice is fine for a blue sway and has a nice level of nutrients in it.
The real reason why cran prevents/helps fight UTI has nothing whatsoever to do with pH. It makes the cells lining your bladder, less sticky somehow and so the bacteria can't stick to the walls of your bladder and you pee them out. (really! Google it!!)

I should say, you need to drink a massive about of cran juice to affect your CM ph. Altering your urine pH is quite easy.
