Preventing Bacterial Adhesion
Ingredients like cranberryextract (especially its proanthocyanidins, or PACs) help stop E. coli and other bacteria from sticking to the bladder or urinary tract lining.
This “anti-adhesion” effect reduces the chance that bacteria will colonize and cause UTI.
D-Mannose, a sugar, is not fully
absorbed by the body, so it passes into the urine where it can bind bacteria and help flush them out.
Because it gets excreted, it directly supports “cleansing” the bladder.
Supporting Healthy Microbiome
Probiotics (particularly Lactobacillus strains) help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the urinary and vaginal tract. A balanced microbiome makes it harder for harmful bacteria to overgrow. In a study, combo of Lactobacillus paracasei, cranberry, and D-mannose significantly reduced recurrence of UTIs in women
