D-Mannose

Description

This advanced formula combines the proven benefits of D-Mannose and cranberry to provide long-lasting urinary tract support. Zinc further enhances the blend by promoting immune function and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, the inclusion of probiotics and time-tested herbal extracts helps maintain a balanced gut and urinary environment.

With D-Mannose Power Complex, you get a comprehensive, science-backed solution—all in one easy-to-take capsule.

The Power of D-Mannose & Cranberry for Urinary Tract Health

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, particularly affecting women—with increased prevalence after menopause. However, UTIs can impact anyone.

While antibiotics are often prescribed, recurrence rates remain high, and the growing issue of antibiotic resistance—alongside other side effects—has driven demand for safe, effective alternatives.

D-Mannose, a natural sugar found in cranberries, pineapples, and other plants, has emerged as a leading non-antibiotic option for UTI prevention. Research indicates that supplementing with D-Mannose can provide effective support, especially for recurrent infections.

How Does It Work?

Unlike regular sugars, D-Mannose is not metabolized by the body. Instead, it passes directly to the kidneys and urinary tract, making it non-glycemic and safe for blood sugar regulation.

Most UTIs are caused by E. coli bacteria, which cling to the urinary tract lining. D-Mannose works by:

• Binding to pathogens, preventing them from adhering to the bladder wall.

• Flushing out bacteria through urine.

Cranberry extract complements this action with similar anti-adhesion properties. While cranberry juice has a long history of use, its high sugar content can be a drawback. Our supplement delivers a potent, sugar-free dose of cranberry extract for maximum benefit without the downsides.

Together, D-Mannose and cranberry create a powerful, research-backed defense against UTIs—naturally and without antibiotics.

The Botanicals: Nature’s Defense Against UTIs

Ceylon Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been prized for centuries for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in bioactive compounds, it helps:

• Inhibit bacterial growth, including pathogens linked to UTIs.

• Reduce inflammation, easing discomfort associated with infections.
  Studies suggest cinnamon may prevent bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining, offering an extra layer of protection.

• Studies have shown that cinnamon’s naturally potent antimicrobial actions can offer support against UTIs, by preventing bacteria from coating the urinary tract. As an anti-inflammatory agent, it can also help to ease some of the discomfort associated with UTIs.*https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9952462/#:~:text=Moreover%2C%20cinnamon%20bark%20oil%20(C,0.1125%20to%201.8%25%2C%20respectively.

Oregano Leaf

Oregano is a potent antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal agent. Research indicates its essential oils are particularly effective against stationary E. coli—a common UTI culprit—making it a valuable addition to urinary health support.

Studies have shown that oregano oil has been shown to be effective against stationary E.coli bacteria in test tube research.

Bamboo Leaf (Silica Source)

Bamboo leaf extract boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping to soothe and protect urinary tissues (Tundis et al., 2023). Naturally rich in silica, it also supports:

• Skin, bone, and joint health (silica is a key component of connective tissues).

• Overall structural integrity in arteries, tendons, and cartilage.

• Studies have shown that Bamboo leaf extracts have been found to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.*Tundis, R. et al. (2023) “Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects of Leaves and Sheath from Bamboo (Phyllostacys edulis J. Houz)”, Antioxidants, 12(6), p. 1239. doi: 10.3390/antiox12061239. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/12/6/1239

The Probiotics: Balancing Microbiota to Prevent UTIs

The urinary microbiome plays a critical role in UTI susceptibility, especially in women. Unlike the gut, urine hosts fewer microbial species, with composition varying by age and hormonal status:

• Pre-menopausal women often have Lactobacillus or Gardnerella-dominated urinary flora.

• Postmenopausal women tend toward E. coli-dominated, more diverse microbiota.

Why Zinc and Lactobacillus Matters (Click here and here for EFSA scientific opinions.)

• Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis, normal acid-base metabolism, normal carbohydrate metabolism, normal cognitive function, normal fertility and reproduction, normal macronutrient metabolism, normal metabolism of fatty acids, normal metabolism of vitamin A, normal protein synthesis, the maintenance of normal bones, the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, the maintenance of normal vision, the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and it has a role in the process of cell division.

• Vaginal Lactobacilli produce H2O2 and lactic acid, lowering pH to inhibit pathogens like E. coli.

• Recurrent UTIs are linked to reduced Lactobacillus levels, allowing harmful bacteria to thrive.

Our formula includes 2 billion CFU of Lactobacillus acidophilus—a clinically studied strain that:
✔ Restores protective microbiota in the urinary and vaginal tracts.
✔ Maintains optimal pH to deter infections.
✔ Supports long-term urinary health by crowding out harmful bacteria
