Does Cranberry Juice speed up the process of your period?

Question

I Heard that Cranberry juice is a natural ( I forgot the word it started with a D I think) and makes you have a shorter period?

Answer 1

Not true. Kidneys not uterus.

Answer 2

If you drink Dubonnet red wine (picture of a cat on the bottle) it really works.

Answer 3

No it doesn't. Helps flushing out your kidneys.

Answer 4

The word you're trying to think of is D-Mannose... that's the simple sugar that exists in cranberries and helps with urinary tract and bladder health.

The other answerers are right, though, neither one will specifically shorten your period... they just make your urine a bit more acidic (among other things) to help fight off some problems in the kidneys and urinary tract.

If you are looking for something to help with your hormonal cycle, there are several natural products that help with hormonal support. The most popular natural products for hormone support would be Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Vitex (also called Chasteberry), Wild Yam, Damiana Leaf, Motherwort, GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid, commonly in Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil), and some Soy germ products.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I have never heard of that.  I know cranberry is good if you have a UTI
