Description

A D-mannose powder like Progressive Labs U-Tract‚ is generally used to possibly treat a UTI (urinary tract infection). Some research also suggest that D-mannose also promotes a healthy digestive tract.

A majority of UTIs are caused by E. coli (Escherichia coli)‚ a bacteria that is normally found in our intestinal tract. Generally‚ E. coli posses no threats to our health‚ that is unless E. coli levels in our bodies is high‚ or if the bacteria ends up in our body s urinary tract (or anywhere it shouldn t be‚ really). Once E. coli spreads through your urinary tract‚ your body will experience the symptoms of UTI‚ like frequent urination‚ urinating with a burning sensation‚ pain or discomfort in your lower abdomen‚ and sometimes (but not always) blood mixed in with urine.

As a D-mannose powder‚ Progressive Labs U-Tract helps your urinary tract rid itself of harmful bacteria. D-mannose powder doesn t kill bacteria; it merely doesn t allow bacteria to stick into your urinary tract.

Essentially‚ E. coli feature tiny digit-like extremities called fimbria. These fimbria are composed of lectin‚ an amino acid-sugar complex that renders them sticky. D-mannose powder isn t absorbed as efficiently by our bodies as glucose is‚ and very little D-mannose is processed and metabolized. The majority of the D-mannose powder is actually passed through our kidneys‚ bladder‚ then urinary tract.

This is how D-mannose powder can possibly help treat UTI. The lectin on E. coli s fimbria are actually attracted to the molecules of D-mannose. So‚ in essence‚ when our bodies pass D-mannose through our system‚ any E. coli that are clinging to the inner walls of our urinary tract immediately cling to the passing D-mannose molecules and are flushed out with the urine.
