D-Mannose is another high-quality supplement for UTI prevention which focuses on the E.coli bacteria. We recommend it when someone has complicated recurrent UTIs or has trigger-associated UTIs (such as sex, swimming, travel, etc). It is recommended to take at least 2,000mg daily of D-Mannose.

Utiva Cranberry PACs is a clinically proven cranberry extract that binds to most bacteria, including E.coli. PACs are the bioactive molecule of the cranberry and physician guidelines recommend it. Utiva Cranberry PACs is a simple, small, once-a-day pill taken for daily support of the urinary tract to prevent ongoing UTIs. PACs are also the antioxidant of the cranberry and provide other gut health benefits.

For those patients who are chronic and are looking for a stronger approach to prevent UTIs, we recommend taking Cranberry PACs and D-Mannose together.

Utiva D-Mannose has a 3 year shelf-life from the time of production. The expiration date can be found on the package.

Side effects of D-Mannose may include bloating and loose stools. There is evidence that D-mannose may impact sugar levels, so people living with diabetes may want to consult a physician first. High doses of D-Mannose may also cause kidney damage.

Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking, including natural ones and those bought without a prescription. That way, your doctor can check on any potential side effects or interactions with any medications.

If you are having UTIs and feel there is a likelihood that the acidity of cranberry can irritate you, D-Mannose is a great option to consider. It will help fight specifically against Ecoli infections and has minimal impact on pH levels causing little to no irritation.
