Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect millions of people in the US every year, and account for nearly 25% of all infections. More than 90% of UTIs are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a bacterium which is normally found in your intestinal tract. When E.coli seeps into your urinary system and multiplies, problems may arise.
UT Soothe contains a simple, but unique sugar called D-Mannose, which is primarily absorbed through the kidneys and rapidly excreted through the urine. This mechanism of metabolism is precisely why D-Mannose appears to support a healthy urinary tract.
It has also been suggested that D-Mannose works to support a healthy urinary tract by encouraging activation of a specific glycoprotein called the Tamm-Horsfall protein, which promotes a healthy urinary tract.
