Like any natural remedy, cranberry juice isn’t perfect for everyone. Its high acidity can trigger heartburn in people with GERD or sensitive stomachs. It may also interact with blood-thinning medications like warfarin, so seniors on medication should speak to their doctor first.
Another thing to watch out for? Added sugar. Always read labels. Go for 100% pure cranberry juice — not “cranberry juice cocktail,” which is often loaded with sweeteners and additives that can cancel out the health benefits.
