Maybe this product is really effective in treating UTIs, and if so, that's great. I didn't order it for that, so I can't evaluate its efficacy in that department. I ordered it (on the advice of a friend) to use as a candida-safe sugar substitute. I wish I hadn't. It is so unbelievably bitter, like really cheap stevia, but unlike stevia, you have to use a lot to get your food to taste "sweet". This product is so unappealing I cannot use it and wish I could return it.
