HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew by Nature's Way

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew has 2 active ingredients: D-mannose and cranberry fruit concentrate. D-mannose is a simple sugar your body uses differently than glucose; cranberry concentrate brings the plant compounds that give cranberry its reputation for urinary tract support.

The chews also contain inactive ingredients — cane sugar, rice syrup, isomaltooligosaccharide, sunflower lecithin, natural flavors, sunflower oil, citric acid, glycerin, and rosemary extract — which help form and preserve the chew.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports urinary tract health and antioxidant support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Catheter-related infections, Radiation-induced cystitis, Overactive bladder, Urinary odor, Bladder health — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Cranberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: D-mannose is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Also on file: Cranberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary odor, Overactive bladder, Catheter-related infections, Radiation-induced cystitis.

For urinary tract infections (UTIs), cranberry is rated possibly effective — some evidence supports it, but the research isn't definitive yet. D-mannose, however, is rated possibly ineffective for UTIs, so it's unlikely to help with that goal.

D-mannose is likely effective for a rare genetic condition called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b, but that's not what most people use this product for. Cranberry has insufficient evidence for age-related cognitive decline, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cancer prevention, fatty liver disease, and chronic fatigue — meaning we don't have enough quality data to know whether it works for those.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient D-mannose Cranberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both ingredients are generally well tolerated short-term. D-mannose's most common side effects are bloating, diarrhea, and nausea — and long-term safety data are limited, so the facts advise caution unless your doctor recommends it.

Cranberry is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been studied much; at very high intakes (like 3-4 liters of juice daily), it can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Skin redness and itching have been reported rarely.

For pregnancy, cranberry is rated likely safe. D-mannose has no pregnancy rating on file, and breastfeeding safety for D-mannose is not well studied — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice on both if you're pregnant or nursing.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Cranberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 713 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your medications against this product especially if you take cholesterol drugs (like atorvastatin), blood thinners (like warfarin), or heart medications (like nifedipine). Also ask about any medications your liver processes through the CYP3A4 pathway — cranberry may raise their levels.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're taking a statin, blood thinner, or heart medication, check with your pharmacist before starting this product — cranberry can interact with several common drugs. The two active ingredients are generally well tolerated short-term, though digestive side effects can happen.

This isn't a proven UTI treatment, so don't rely on it instead of medical care if you have a urinary tract infection.

Cranberry Fruit Concentrate6 drug types · 712 drugs

Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase levels and adverse effects of atorvastatin.
In one case report, a patient taking atorvastatin experienced upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function after drinking cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, this may have been caused by inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes by cranberry juice, as atorvastatin is a CYP3A4 substrate. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Patients taking atorvastatin should avoid large quantities of cranberry juice.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
A case of upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function has been reported for a patient taking atorvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate, in combination with cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Also, animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine, a CYP3A4 substrate, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nifedipine (Procardia)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of nifedipine.
Animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine treatment, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of warfarin. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry juice on warfarin. Case reports have linked cranberry juice consumption to increases in the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients taking warfarin, resulting in severe spontaneous bleeding and excessive postoperative bleeding. Daily consumption of cranberry sauce for one week has also been linked to an increase in INR in one case report. In a small study in healthy young males, taking a high dose of 3 grams of cranberry juice concentrate capsules, equivalent to 57 grams of fruit daily, for 2 weeks produced a 30% increase in the area under the INR-time curve after a single 25-mg dose of warfarin. However, 3 very small clinical studies in patients stabilized on warfarin reported that cranberry juice 250 mL once or twice daily for 7 days (27% cranberry juice or pure cranberry juice) or 240 mL once daily for 14 days does not significantly increase INR or affect plasma warfarin levels. The reasons for these discrepant findings are unclear. It is possible that the form and dose of cranberry may play a role, as cranberry extracts and juices contain different constituents. Additionally, an in vitro study evaluating 5 different cranberry juices found varying effects, with only a cranberry concentrate, and not diluted cranberry juices, inhibiting CYP2C9. However, this concentrate did not inhibit CYP2C9 activity in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry on CYP2C9 enzymes. In vitro evidence suggests that flavonoids in cranberry inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, clinical research shows that cranberry juice does not significantly affect the levels, metabolism, or elimination of the CYP2C9 substrates flurbiprofen or diclofenac. Also, in patients stabilized on warfarin, drinking cranberry juice 250 mL daily for 7 days does not significantly increase the anticoagulant activity of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Additional pharmacokinetic research shows that cranberry juice does not increase peak plasma concentrations or area under the concentration-time curve of warfarin.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Others)

Theoretically, cranberry might modestly increase the levels and adverse effects of diclofenac.
In vitro evidence suggests that cranberry juice inhibits diclofenac metabolism by human liver microsomes. However, drinking cranberry juice does not seem to affect diclofenac metabolism in humans.

ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew by Nature's Way: Common Questions

Does ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew by Nature's Way interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew has a known interaction with 712 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
ActiFruit Cranberry Fruit Chew contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Cranberry is rated likely safe in pregnancy. D-mannose doesn't have pregnancy safety data on file, and its breastfeeding safety isn't well studied. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Will this help prevent or treat a urinary tract infection?
Cranberry is possibly effective for UTIs based on some evidence, but it's not proven to work reliably. D-mannose is actually rated possibly ineffective for UTIs. Neither ingredient should replace medical treatment from your doctor if you have a UTI.
What are the most common side effects?
Bloating, diarrhea, and nausea can happen with D-mannose. Cranberry may cause diarrhea and stomach discomfort, especially at higher doses. Most people tolerate it well short-term, but if your stomach is sensitive, start small.
How much D-mannose and cranberry are in each chew?
The product facts don't list the dose of each active ingredient per chew. Check the label on your bottle or contact the manufacturer to know exactly how much you're getting.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
Yes — the chews contain cane sugar, rice syrup, isomaltooligosaccharide, sunflower lecithin, natural flavors, sunflower oil, citric acid, glycerin, and rosemary extract as inactive ingredients. These help form and preserve the chew.
Is long-term use safe?
High-quality long-term safety data for D-mannose are limited, so the facts advise caution with extended use unless your doctor recommends it. Cranberry's concentrated supplement form hasn't been well studied over the long term either — ask your provider before using it long-term.
