U-Tract® Complete is a unique product designed to support urinary tract health. U-Tract® Complete combines D-mannose, a simple sugar that is found in many fruits such as cranberries, pineapples and other plant sources along with Cranbumycin® cranberry extract, and Hibiscus flower extract for extra effectiveness.‡
As the D-mannose in U-Tract® Complete is flushed from the body it maintains a healthy environment in the urinary tract, supporting the urinary tract mucosal surface and helping to bind and flush bacteria from the system. Cranbumycin® cranberry extract has been shown to support flushing of the urinary tract. Hibiscus flower extract has a unique profile due to its patented process of extraction. It contains many beneficial molecules such as organic acids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and PACS, supporting its efficiency.‡
D-mannose is produced from natural sources – birch and beech wood hydrolysates. Though D-mannose is a simple sugar, it is not converted to glycogen like many sugars and is not stored in the liver.‡
Warning: If you are pregnant or lactating woman, have any health conditions, or are taking any medication, make sure to consult your healthcare provider prior to use.
