What is Urinary Tract Infection UTI?
• It is a bacterial infection (caused by E.coli) that affects
the urinary system
• The urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters,
bladder and urethra.
• When infected the tissues in the urinary tract become inflamed
and swollen. This causes hindrance in the normal flow, thus causing pain while
passing urine.
• It most commonly affects the bladder and urethra
Benefits of Cranberry are…
• Potent source of antioxidants
• Anti-adhesion activity with the help of phytochemical called
proanthocyanidins (PACs).
Action of cranberry
• Cranberry may help prevent and relieve symptoms of UTI by
primary and secondary means.
1. The proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberry prevent bacteria
from adhering to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract.
2. As a secondary measure, cranberry changes the pH of the
bladder to be more acidic, preventing the growth of bacteria.
Action of D-Mannose
• After digestion, D-mannose passes into the urinary system
• Here it forms a layer on the urinary tract and bladder

adhere to the layer of D-Mannose
attached to it is removed from the bladder and urinary tract
