Overview

This supplement combines D-Mannose and Whole Cranberry, both of which have evidence supporting their role in urinary tract health and the prevention of recurrent UTIs. While D-Mannose is adequately dosed for preventative use, the lack of standardization for proanthocyanidins (PACs) in the Whole Cranberry component makes it difficult to ascertain its full effectiveness.

The Good

Combines two scientifically-backed ingredients for urinary tract health.

D-Mannose dose (450mg per capsule, up to 1800mg daily) is within effective range for prevention.

Generally safe with a low incidence of side effects.

The Bad

No standardization for proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberry, which are key for efficacy

D-Mannose dose may be at the lower end for optimal prevention in some cases

Cranberry dose may be underdosed if not concentrated for PACs

Is it for you?
