Cranberry RCT study

Always interested in natural methods that have solid science behind them.

Stumbled upon a double-blind RCT study where 64 PCa patients were randomly assigned to receive 1500 mg of dry cranberry fruit powder or placebo daily for at least 21 days (avg 31 days) prior to undergoing radical prostatectomy.

The cranberry arm experienced a significant 22.5% decrease in their PSA levels compared with 0.9% increase using a placebo (P < .05) immediately prior to surgery. There were no differences, however, in prostate tissue markers (IMO this is not that unexpected with such a short trial duration for this study).

Since I prefer food over supplements, I plan to drink 8 ounces per day of 100% unsweetened Ocean Spray cranberry juice until my next PSA test in February 2026 and see if there’s any changes….stay tuned!

Ocean Spray 100% unsweetened cranberry juice has the highest soluble PAC level of all the types tested by consumer lab.com.
