Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) has traditionally been used in some cultures for urinary tract health, although it is not as prominent as cranberry for this purpose. Historical and folk medicine sources occasionally mention blueberry or its juice as beneficial for urinary tract infections (UTIs), likely due to its similarity to cranberry and its content of certain polyphenols and proanthocyanidins. However, rigorous scientific studies specifically investigating blueberry for the prevention or treatment of UTIs are lacking. Most clinical evidence and guidelines focus on cranberry, not blueberry, and the specific active compounds in blueberries have not been conclusively shown to prevent bacterial adhesion or reduce infection rates in the urinary tract in human studies. Therefore, while there is some basis in traditional use, the scientific evidence for blueberries in the context of UTI support is minimal to nonexistent. Use of blueberries for this condition should not be considered evidence-based, and those seeking to manage or prevent UTIs should rely on better-studied interventions and consult healthcare professionals.
