Boots Cranbery Capsules

I used to get the odd case of cystitis and when I did I (like another reviewer mentioned) used to get the cranberry powders from boots which work very well. I then did a 30 day detox which included taking a cranberry supplement every day. After finishing the detox I continued to take the supplements as well as keeping up the healthy diet as much as possible.

I knew boots carried the powder satchets that for the most part are cranberry powder, so I asked the chemist behind the counter about anything nicer tasting or ... more

- to the best of my knowledge anyway. Do boys get cystitis? I don't know, but that's essentially what I'm writing about here. So guys, go away if you're squeamish because this is not a pretty subject/ Anyone who's had cystitis will know how horrible it is. I won't go into details as to symptoms, but it is one of those bugs that really makes life uncomfortable. I went through a phase of having it quite a lot (didn't know it was related to sex - more of which later) and what eventually sorted me out was not a miracle of modern medicine but a humble tub of small red capsules available over the ... more
