The formula supports healthy bladder function and can be used acutely as needed or as ongoing daily maintenance support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberry'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCranberry PAC extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — A-type proanthocyanidins for bacterial anti-adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eD-mannose\u003c\/strong\u003e — competitive inhibitor of E. coli type-1 fimbriae binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUva ursi\u003c\/strong\u003e — arbutin-based traditional urinary antimicrobial support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily maintenance or as-needed acute support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 vegetarian capsules; formulated by Dr. Tori Hudson, ND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake as directed by your healthcare provider.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitanica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51252298350894,"sku":"000000000300083069","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/3297\/1822\/files\/515x515-0009509-cranstat-extra-60-capsules.png?v=1779658725","url":"https:\/\/www.drmattgianforte.com\/products\/cranstat-extra-60-capsules","provider":"Lifeworks Integrative Health","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
