Solaray - D-Mannose Powder With Cranactin Urinary Tract Health Lemon Berry 2000 179116

I can't recommend this stuff highly enough. It really works. You have to maintain it. I can only list a handful of supplements that I can FEEL doing their job. This is one of them. The powder is not only cheaper--more for the money---it's easier to take--unless you prefer to swallow pills. It tastes good--it's sweet, but the sugar in it is not table sugar--it's another molecule and is not supposed to affect blood sugar levels--so it's supposedly ok for diabetics (which I am not) DO YOUR OWN MEDICAL RESEARCH OR ASK YOUR DOCTOR--don't listen to Amazon reviewers about anything that serious, but if they say there's not proof it works--go ahead and discount that and give it a try--many people are impressed with the effectiveness of this supplement and I am one of them. It works by sugar coating the bad bacteria--it clings to the bacteria and prevents the bacteria from clinging to the walls of your bladder. If you have any bladder/kidney issues, are susceptible to getting urinary tract infections, especially if you are female and post-menopausal--you want to add this to your daily regimen. The pills works just as well, I just prefer the powder. If you get occasional UTI---make sure it's cleared up first---I don't like to use antibiotics, but some infections require them--use this as a preventative so you stop getting them.

This product is amazing! I heard about it from someone who worked at the natural grocery store saying the customers swore by it. Any time I feel any urinary or UTI related issues I will drink this throughout the day mixed with water and it clears up - every time. I have also purchased the capsules, but they don't seem to work well.

UPDATE! Formula has changed enough that this does NOT work for me any more. I've been trying to use the new formula for 2 months with no help. I found a company that sells the old formula and it worked as it always had. It also no longer mixes well (very clumpy) and tastes bad. ..... The only reason this gets 4 stars is because the price fluctuates between $25 and $50. I feel that $25 if pricey, but I usually buy a few at that price so that I can have it on hand. $50 is way too much for a month supply. I have had UTIs for almost five years now. I was on antibiotics every other month for a few years until my Dr. put me on a low dose for 12 months. After this, though, I still got UTI's. I went to see a different specialist and he recommend D-Mannose. This is the first brand that I tried. A couple other brands did not work for me at all, but this one has worked wonders for a couple years. I take about a third to half a scoop three times a day (always one right before bed), and I can feel confident I won't get an infection. If I take less or miss a couple of doses (sometimes I forget in the afternoon), I almost always get a UTI. I have not found that it will "cure" a UTI if I use it after I feel symptoms; I have to go back to antibiotics to get rid of symptoms. I recommend giving this a try for anyone that wants to lessen their frequency of UTI's.

I love this stuff. All of my girls have been to the doctor on and off for urinary tract issues. I wish I would have done my research sooner. At the first symptom, I give my boys and girls half a scoop in about 1/2 cup of water or a little less for the little ones- once a day. Twice if their symptoms are severe. It tastes like pink lemonade. It usually only takes a few doses and they are fine. No more sad trips to urgent care and crying because they dont want to or can't pee in a cup and then waiting for a test to come back negative. Of course, do not ignore fevers. My daughter had tummy pain and a fever that wouldn't go away. On day three, meds were not reducing the fever. She had no UTI symptoms but ended up in the ER with a kidney infection. So for regular discomfort when urinating, cloudy or foul smelling urine- this stuff is amazing and great for kids.

This was recommended by my gynocologist. Has a pleasant taste and so far so good...No UTI'S!! Am very hopeful this is answer to my chronic problem. Reason for only 4 stars is need more time to evaluate long term effectiveness.
