D-Mannose is a natural occurring simple sugar that removes “bad” bacteria by attaching to harmful bacteria and eliminating it. It’s absorbed eight times slower than glucose and, when ingested, is not converted to glycogen or stored in the liver but, rather, goes directly into the blood stream from the kidneys to the bladder. Antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in the normal flora, while Mannose supports the displacement of harmful bacteria.

N-Acetyl Glucosamine or NAG is an important form of glucosamine found in the body. It is the form that is used for the production of glycoproteins. The glycoprotein layer in the mucosal lining of the urinary tract has a high content of NAG. This layer of mucosal cells is the protective barrier against acids and bacteria, and it is replaced every 3-4 days. Due to this high cell turnover rate, the GI tract requires increased amounts of NAG to support structural integrity and functionality.

Cranberry Extract helps to acidify urine. It naturally contains proanthocyanidins or PCOs that neutralize free radicals and prevent the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to the cells that line the bladder and urinary tract. Cranberry has also been used as a urine deodorizer as it decreases the strong smell of ammonia.
