D-Mannose is another high-quality supplement for UTI prevention which focuses on E.coli bacteria. We recommend it when someone has complicated recurrent UTIs or has trigger-associated UTIs (such as sex, swimming, travel, etc).

Utiva UTI control contains the researched dose of 36mg of proanthocyanidins (PACs), that can prevent a range of bacterias from sticking to the bladder wall and help to prevent UTIs.

For those experiencing chronic UTIs and looking for extra protection, we recommend taking both Cranberry PACs and D-Mannose—just take them separately, ideally about 2 hours apart.

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.
