Ever since my mother had to take a prescription antibiotic to treat a severely painful UTI that caused her to urinate blood, she has been taking Nature's Way Cranberry Fruit Supplement to prevent recurrence. Occasionally, she still experiences mild symptoms of an UTI and pairs this cranberry supplement with NOW Supplements, Certified Non-GMO, D-Mannose 500 mg, 120 Veg Capsules which is a naturally occurring simple sugar that her body utilizes to help cleanse her urinary tract and maintain a healthy bladder lining. D-mannose is metabolized only in small amounts, with excess amounts rapidly excreted in urine, so it won't interfere with her healthy blood sugar levels. My mom takes both this cranberry supplement and D-mannose for a week to treat her mild UTI symptoms. If her mild UTI symptoms have not subsided or have strengthened, she takes Nature's Answer UT Answer Cranberry Flavor, 4-Fluid Ounces which is a fast acting concentrated 3 day regimen of taking a liquid formula of super concentrated cranberry, D-Mannose, vitamin C, ginger, amla fruit and capsicum fruit. The Nature's Answer UT Answer 3-day regimen recommends a single serving (one tablespoon of the liquid) be taken as the following:
Day One - 4 servings (My mom takes one tablespoon every six hours.)
Day Two - 2 servings (My mom takes one tablespoon every twelve hours.)
Day Three â€" 2 servings (My mom takes one tablespoon every twelve hours.)
The 3-day regimen of Nature's Answer UT Answer always clears up her UTI completely.
In addition to taking this cranberry supplement as a daily prevention of UTIs, she drinks ten to twelve (eight ounce) cups of pure water per day. Unfortunately, tea, coffee, infusions, juice and sodas do not flush out the kidneys and bladder; pure water is essential. Also, urinating on a regular basis and not holding a full bladder (bacteria are more likely to multiply in a full bladder) is key in UTI prevention. When urinating, take the time to fully empty the bladder. There is always a little urine left in the bladder after the initial pee. Wait a twenty to thirty seconds and urinate that little bit out. This technique is called double voiding, which really helps prevent UTIs by eliminating more bacteria out of the bladder.
Nature's Way Cranberry Fruit Supplement along with the above practices and additional natural supplements has prevented my mother from having to take harmful antibiotics to treat her urinary tract infections for years
