D-Mannose is another high-quality supplement for UTI prevention from Utiva that specifically targets E.coli. It is recommended to take at least 2,000 mg daily of D-Mannose.

Utiva UTI Control is a clinically proven cranberry extract that binds to a variety of bacteria, including E.coli. PACs are molecules of the cranberry and are recommended by physician guidelines. Utiva UTI Control is a simple, small, once-a-day pill taken for daily support of the urinary tract to prevent ongoing UTIs.

Side effects of D-Mannose may include bloating and loose stools. If your patient has diabetes, D- Mannose supplements should be used with caution as they may make it harder to control blood sugar. High doses of D-Mannose may also cause kidney damage.

D-Mannose is similar in shape to receptors on the urinary tract wall. These receptors fit perfectly within E.coli’s type 1 fimbriae. When D-Mannose is present in sufficient amounts, it can bind to all the E.coli fimbriae and inhibit bacterial adhesion to the urothelium, reducing the risk of infection.
