Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common concern among women. Symptoms usually include pain and urgency to urinate. They are often chronic in nature with 1 in 5 women having recurrent UTIs. Additionally, there is a high potential for antibiotic resistance due to frequent and continued use of antibiotics. 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 become one of the most promising effective treatments for UTIs. D-Mannose is a simple sugar, occurring naturally in many fruits, that has been shown to inhibit E. coli adhesion. coli to the bladder wall. E. coli is the main bacteria responsible for more than 80% of urinary infections. By preventing bacteria from clinging 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 is traditionally 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 the urine and thus reduce bacterial growth in the bladder. However, cranberry juice specifically prevents bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall, as does D-mannose. Clinical trials of cranberry juice and standardized extracts have found a decreased need for antibiotics, less recurrence and incidence of UTIs, and fewer bacteria in the urine.
Cran-Mannose UTI from Cyto-Matrix combines D-Mannose and a high-potency standardized cranberry extract, acting as an effective tool in the prevention and treatment of uncomplicated urinary infections. This natural combination is successful 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 symptoms of UTIs.
