Annually, urinary tract infections (UTI) are responsible for more than 11 million physician visits in the United States.* Although normally a commensal inhabitant of the intestinal and gastrointestinal tract of humans, Escherichia coli is the most common urinary-tract pathogen, whose overgrowth and over colonization accounts for 85% of UTI.* Cranberries have been used as a medicinal agent for centuries to promote health, but recently the scientific literature has proven that proanthocyanidins, contained in cranberries, as well as a simple sugar, ᴅ‑mannose, specifically inhibit the adhesion and proliferation of E. coli in the urinary tract.* Cranberry extracts and ᴅ‑mannose each independently inhibit one of two adhesion methods utilized by E. coli.* Combined together in a synergistic and novel formula, D‑Mannose SAP addresses both type-1 (FimH) and P-type fimbrial-mediated adhesion by E. coli to the urinary tract mucosa.* D‑Mannose SAP is specifically targeted for the treatment and prevention of E. coli UTI.*
