According to Dr. Rudi E. Moerck, President of Valensa, there is a viableand growing market for a natural promoter of urinary tract health that canaffect the conditions that lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs)."Antibiotics are the standard drug-based treatment for UTIs, but they ofteneliminate a woman's 'good' vaginal bacteria in the course of treating thetargeted infection. This situation often leads to painful secondary fungalinfections like Candida that can themselves require drug treatment. Theincreased use of antibiotics generally has contributed to antimicrobialresistance, a growing public health concern," he added.

Dual action targets urinary tract health

During UTIs, E. coli bacteria gain a foothold by adhering to the bladderwall and/or urethra, causing infection. Crannose(TM) Extra Strength createsan environment in the bladder that helps prevent bacteria from gaining thatfoothold. Supplementation with Crannose(TM) Extra Strength helps to acidifythe urine, while its anti-adhesion properties naturally prevent bacteria fromattaching to the urinary tract lining. It provides an ideal competitivereceptor site for the bacteria, creating a "path of least resistance" for itto be excreted quickly and harmlessly.

Crannose(TM) Extra Strength is very slowly metabolized in the body, sothat when ingested, it travels directly to the bloodstream from the upper GItract, and is filtered through the kidneys to the bladder for excretion --unchanged. Crannose(TM) Extra Strength is a safe, plant-based supplementproviding a healthy alternative to cranberry juice products that containunacceptable quantities of sugar. A daily dose of just two 625 mg capsules ofCrannose(TM) Extra Strength is recommended. This dosage should be doubledwhen a UTI is present.

According to Dr. John Minatelli, Senior Vice President, BusinessDevelopment, cranberry juice has long been regarded as a preferred aid in thehealthy function of the human urinary tract. "Recent studies suggest that theanti-adhesion and antioxidant properties of cranberry juice create conditionsthat will limit the possibility of a UTI from occurring in the first place.Research has further documented that natural D-mannose has been shown toattach to the fibrils of E. coli even more effectively than cranberry juice,"he said. "Crannose(TM) Extra Strength combines the proven efficacy ofunsweetened whole cranberry with the scientifically validated effects ofD-mannose. This powerful combination significantly improves the anti-adhesioneffectiveness over cranberry juice alone. The Crannose(TM) Extra Strengthformula greatly enhances the natural D-mannose already present in cranberry,all in one low-calorie package," he added.
