I am referring to the nutritional information and the health with vitamins, minerals and helping with bladder infections?

Cranberry juice is better for you as far as using it to keep UTIs from occuring. Cocktail is mixed with other juice, so not as much help. Drinking the recommended daily ammount of water is better than anything else for helping to prevent them in the first place, because juice has so much natural sugars in them that they are not really that good for you...even the ones that claim to be "No sugar added"

What people are forgetting to mention is that the lower grade cranberry juice cocktails are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, and you would be lucky if there really are a blend of juices present because most brands advertise only having between 10-30% actual juice of ANY kind.
The real deal is fantastic not only for urinary tract health but also yeast infections.

Cranberry juice cocktail often has a blend of fruits, as well as preservatives and added sugars. If you are attempting to treat or avoid UTIs I would recommend the 100% juice. Check for sugar content and ensure that it is indeed 100% cranberry juice. Tablets, which are available at your local drug store, may also work but with a decreased efficiency.

I believe that Cranberry juice cocktail either has more sugar or is mixed with other juices. Which would make it less effective in helping with a urinary tract infection.

Cranberry juice is tart and is good for the kidneys. Cranberry juice cocktail is sweet and mixes with other juices and sugar.

when are looking to purse cranberry juice remember to look for the 100% and the ingredients. If it says cocktail that means that there is some our juice such as apple or grape.

Cranberry juice cocktail may have something else in it. Apple juice, orange juice, or whatever.

Cocktail conatins more sugar (like corn syrup) and more water. Cranberry juice, straight, no other flavors, like cran-apple, cran-grape, etc, straight cranberry juice, is beneficial for urinary health.
