About Cranberry/d-Mannose:
*Cranberries have been used for hundreds of years as nutritional support
for the urinary tract. Cranberry extract provides support without the
unwanted sugar found in cranberry juice varieties, which can encourage the
growth of unfriendly bacteria.
The role of cranberry extract includes enhancing the acidity of urine and
maintaining a healthy urinary tract ecology. Constituents of cranberry
extract associated with its benefits include proanthocyanidins as well as
d-mannose. In one study, healthy urinary function was observed in subjects
shortly after drinking cranberry juice cocktail. Another study suggested the
potential for cranberry juice to interact with lectin receptors and maintain
a healthy bladder wall.
At Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA, a randomized double blind,
placebo-controlled trial involving over 150 female volunteers reported
positive support for a healthy urinary tract after administration of a
cranberry beverage. d-Mannose, a simple sugar found in cranberries and other
fruit, is included in this formula to provide concentrated support. Only
small amounts of d-mannose are metabolized. The majority of it is excreted
via the urine where it promotes a healthy urinary tract environment.
One study examining the effect of d-mannose on epithelial cells suggested
that it may play a role in supporting healthy genitourinary function by
maintaining a healthy mucosal surface. d-Mannose in this formula is derived
from natural plant sources and is combined with cranberry extract for high
capacity urinary tract support.
Pure Caps cranberry extract is made from 100% whole cranberry fruit
solids through a proprietary process that concentrates the health benefiting
components of cranberries without the use of solvents or sugars. This
patented process allows a natural fiber protective matrix to surround the
bioactive principles of cranberry, which helps to facilitate their
transportation to the lower intestine without being destroyed by gastric
acid.
Cranberry/d-Mannose combines cranberry extract made from 100% cranberry
fruit solids and d-mannose for both time-tested and concentrated support of
urinary tract comfort.
