CranStat Extra® 60 Capsules

CranStat Extra — Cranberry, D-Mannose, and Uva Ursi for Urinary Tract Health

Vitanica CranStat Extra integrates scientific research and traditional herbal medicine to provide a clinically meaningful urinary tract health formula — combining cranberry proanthocyanidins (PACs), D-mannose, and uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) for complementary mechanisms of urinary tract protection. The formula supports healthy bladder function and can be used acutely as needed or as ongoing daily maintenance support.

Cranberry's PAC compounds (specifically the A-type proanthocyanidins unique to cranberry) prevent Escherichia coli from adhering to the uroepithelial cells lining the urinary tract — addressing the primary mechanism of UTI initiation. D-mannose is a simple sugar that competitively binds to the mannose-binding lectins on E. coli's type-1 fimbriae, blocking the bacterial adhesion step before it can occur. Uva ursi provides arbutin, which is converted to the antimicrobial compound hydroquinone in alkaline urine, providing a traditional botanical antimicrobial complement. Together these three mechanisms address urinary tract protection from multiple angles simultaneously.
