A natural sugar that prevents E. coli bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract walls.
How to Use
Take 500mg-2g of D-Mannose every 2-3 hours during active symptoms. For prevention: 500mg twice daily.
Why It Works
D-Mannose binds to E. coli bacteria (which cause 80-90% of UTIs) and prevents them from attaching to the bladder wall. The bacteria are then flushed out during urination.
Concentrated cranberry proanthocyanidins that prevent bacterial adhesion.
How to Use
Take 36mg PAC (proanthocyanidins) daily via standardized extract. Avoid sugary cranberry juice cocktails.
Why It Works
Cranberry A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) prevent E. coli from adhering to the uroepithelium through a different mechanism than D-Mannose, providing complementary protection.
