Utiva Cranberry PACs supplement is made of 100% natural cranberry and there is no studied risk for using cranberry products during pregnancy. Multiple clinical trials have been completed. Check out this Norwegian study that observed the effects of cranberries on 100,000 pregnancies.

Utiva Cranberry PACs are safe to take while on antibiotics and can also help ensure PACs are in your system to prevent further bacteria from sticking.

It is safe to take PACs and D-Mannose together. However, we suggest taking each ingredient separately as some preliminary research shows that D-Mannose may lower the effectiveness of PACs when taken at the same time.

Our recommendation is the PACs to be taken at the same time daily; preferably at night so that the PACs can sit in your bladder longer (while you sleep). D-Mannose can be taken during the day.

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.

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.

It is usually recommended to take natural products for a minimum of 4 weeks to see beneficial results but some will experience health benefits much earlier. It is important to take your Probiotic diligently every day to ensure optimal efficacy. Probiotics are often a long term process to regain and maintain your optimal gut health so please be patient!

When taking antibiotics, it is recommended to take any probiotic 2-3 hours before/after taking your antibiotic. Aside from this, there are no known interactions with Probiotic and any other medication or supplements.

The UTI test strips are convenient and easy to use for screening a UTI in the comfort of your home.  It is advisable to use it only if you experience any of the UTI symptoms. If you show a positive result, you must immediately see your doctor. However, if you show a negative result but have symptoms, we still advise you to consult with your healthcare provider.

The Utiva UTI test strips are clinically accurate. These rapid tests are similar to what some clinics use to quickly screen for a UTI before doing a urine culture. The results of the UTI test strips have been compared to another commercial test. The study shows 94.4% accuracy for the Leukocyte test and 98.4% for the Nitrite test.

Absolutely! Utiva UTI Test Strips can be used by anyone.

No. The Utiva Cleansing wipes are pH balanced and will not disturb the natural vaginal environment as they are free of fragrance, alcohol, Parabens and Phthalates.

Our wipes are not antibacterial. An antibacterial wipe would contain some sort of ingredient or agent that actively kills bacteria, which you would not want in such a sensitive area! Utiva personal wipes are pH balanced cleansing wipes (making them gentle on our skin's natural environment) that help to cleanse and wipe away bacteria, but do not contain any chemicals to actively kill bacteria.
