D-Mannose is a glyconutrient and has many helpful health benefits. Glyconutrients are vital because they are essential saccharides that form crucial compounds within the body. Antibodies and digestive enzymes are glycoproteins (glyconutrients attached to proteins) that assist the body’s cells in communicating with each other. D-mannose also removes “bad” bacteria by attachment and voiding. It’s absorbed eight times more slowly than glucose and, when ingested, is not converted to glycogen or stored in the liver but rather goes directly into the blood stream from the kidneys to the bladder. Therefore it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation. The bacterium displaced by Mannose is responsible for 80-90% of UTIs, whereas antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in the normal flora. Cran-Max® Cranberry Concentrate Research shows that PACs, particularly A-type PACs, of which cranberries are a rich source, support urinary tract health. Anthocyanins, which are also found in cranberries and are natural anti-oxidants, support overall health. Cran-Max® provides a good source of PACs and anthocyanins. Cran-Max® is a concentrated whole fruit cranberry extract. It is made from 100% of the cranberry. Cran-Max® contains no carriers, no solvents, no added sweeteners, and no flavorings or added colors. Cranberries provide a rich source of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins (PACs) and are a better source of these than almost any other fruit. One 500 mg dose of Cran-Max® provides the same amount of anthocyanins as 7 glasses of cranberry juice cocktail, without all the sugar. Cran-Max® is the only cranberry concentrate made using the patented Bio-Shield™ technology. Bio-Shield™ is designed to protect the anthocyanins and phenols from destruction by gastric acid in the stomach. Dandelion Leaf (Taraxacum spp.) is a common plant found all over the world.
