• A therapeutic blend of cranberry extract and D-mannose for the prevention and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
• 400 mg of D-Mannose and 143 mg of 35:1 dried cranberry extract (equivalent to 5 grams of fresh cranberry) per vegetable capsule
• The active ingredients inhibit the adhesion of E. coli to the bladder wall and have been shown to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections recurring without the need for antibiotics
• Dosage can be easily adjusted for prevention and recurrence of UTIs or for treatment of active symptoms of UTIs
  
  

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common concern among women. Symptoms typically include pain and urgency to urinate. They are often chronic in nature, with 1 in 5 women experiencing recurrent UTIs. Furthermore, there is a high potential for antibiotic resistance due to frequent and continuous antibiotic use. This means that UTIs can have a significant and negative impact on the quality of life of many women, and effective alternative solutions are in high demand.

D-mannose has emerged as one of the most promising effective treatments for UTIs. D-Mannose is a simple sugar, naturally occurring in many fruits, that has been shown to inhibit the adhesion of E. coli to the bladder wall. E. coli is the primary bacterium responsible for over 80% of UTIs. By preventing bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall, D-Mannose acts as a natural anti-infective agent. In fact, clinical trials have confirmed that D-Mannose reduces the risk of recurrent UTIs as effectively as nitrofurantoin, but with fewer side effects.

Cranberry juice has traditionally been used for both the prevention and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice contains tannins known as proanthocyanins. It was traditionally thought to acidify urine and thus reduce bacterial growth in the bladder. However, cranberry juice specifically prevents bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall, as does D-mannose. Clinical trials of cranberry juice and standardized extracts have shown a decreased need for antibiotics, lower recurrence and incidence of urinary tract infections, and fewer bacteria in the urine.

Cyto-Matrix's Cran-Mannose UTI combines D-Mannose with a high-potency standardized cranberry extract, acting as an effective tool in the prevention and treatment of uncomplicated UTIs. This natural combination succeeds without the typical side effects associated with antibiotic use, including antibiotic resistance or diarrhea. The dosage of Cran-Mannose UTI can be easily adjusted for the prevention and recurrence of UTIs or for the treatment of active UTI symptoms.
