Uplab MannoCin-D for Urinary System Health With D-Mannose & Vitamin C
Urinary tract infections are among the most common infections worldwide, with the most common being bacterial bladder infection (cystitis).
Urinary tract infections and their recurrences are particularly common in women, especially after menopause.
Half of the female population will experience at least one episode of urinary tract infection during their lifetime, with 20-40% recurring.
In recent years, new adjuvant approaches have been widely investigated for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections.
Among them, D-mannose has been particularly studied due to its properties and safety profile.
D-mannose is a natural monosaccharide that is also produced in small quantities by the human body, and is a structural component of the bladder mucosa.
Studies support the role of D-mannose in maintaining and supporting a healthy urinary system, with the following mechanism of action: The cell wall of E.coli has small protrusions with cilia on its surface, the lectins, which are responsible for the adhesion of bacteria to the walls of the bladder, and then their multiplication, and the development of infection.
Exogenously ingested D-mannose, due to its greater selectivity, binds to lectins, inhibiting the adhesion of pathogens to the walls of the bladder.
It is then excreted through urination along with the bacteria.
