Nature's Way CranRx Gummy Urinary Health BioActive Cranberry + D-Manonse + Vitamin C, 60 Gummies

BLESS U CRAN-RX ILU

I've always suffered a UTI once or twice a year, no matter how dedicated I was to hygiene, always wiping front to back, peeing before and after sex, only drinking water, the whole nine yards. I've gotten to know "AZO" as a close friend... I even have bottles of uncut cranberry juice in my fridge. Do ya'll know what that tastes like? It's nasty. Trips to get antibiotics were routine, and I took to taking cranberry supplements. While going through a phase of replacing all my vitamins with GUMMY versions, I stumbled upon this gem and learned about this mysterious "D-Mannose"... sounded legit, pulled the trigger and ordered a bottle. FLAVOR: good, not terribly sweet TEXTURE: consistency is like... a natural fruit snack, if you've ever had one of those. Not what you're expecting but not terrible. It's been a month and I feel like a brand new woman. It's amazing. Of course I maintain as many good habits as possible but I can definitely tell that this supplement is helping me keep any minor symptoms away. I think it really does a good job FULLY flushing out your tract. I don't know, I'm not a doctor, just some chick on the internet

best thing i purchased for my urinary health

i've experienced recurring utis the past couple years. by recurring, i mean sometimes every other month, monthly, twice a month....needless to say, it was incredibly frustrating...and painful. and i felt i was doing everything right hygiene-wise. problems of having a short urethra (sorry, not sorry for the TMI). it was also frustrating having to go to the doctor's office every time for antibiotics, much less taking that many antibiotics in such a short period of time. drinking cranberry juice daily for prevention was also difficult and expensive to maintain. so the CranRx gummies have been a lifesaver for me. since i started taking these a few months ago, i've noticed a huge difference in my urinary health (and my sanity!). so far, i haven't experienced any uti symptoms, so fingers crossed that these will keep doing the trick. so much better than drinking cranberry juice daily. i take these daily and actually quite like the taste, but that seems open to debate per other reviews here. i'll still give it 5 stars, but my only complaint is that it's quite expensive compared to the azo gummies, and only comes in a 60 count bottle, which is enough to last one month. please offer it in a bigger size...and at a discount if possible! the azo gummies are also targeted for uti prevention, but doesn't taste as great in my opinion

Preventative Maintenance…So far, So Good!

As someone who has had the misfortune of experiencing several Urinary Track Infections over the years I wanted something that wasn't an antibiotic to help prevent and alleviate the symptoms. Usually, by the time I'm aware of the symptoms it's to late to treat with homeopathic remedies and I'm forced to take an antibiotic. I have taken this supplement daily for a month now and I have not experienced any symptoms with my urinary track, nor have I had to deal with any new infections. From what I've read, I believe the D-mannose in these gummies are the main reason for my success in managing my symptoms. I've read several articles on the use of D-mannose in the treatment and prevention of U.T.I.'s but I found Dr. Jonathan V. Wright's article on http://www.tahomaclinicblog.com/d-mannose-for-bladder-and-kidney-infections/ to be the most informative and easiest to understand on how D-mannose works in the body and why it's successful in maintaining Urinary Track Health. As another reviewer stated these gummies are not sweet but I personally like their tart cranberry flavour. The taste is similar to that of a sour patch kid....without the uber pucker punch. These gummies are quite a bit larger than a gummy bear and if you follow the dosing instructions one bottle will last a month. For me the $15.00 for a months supply is worth every penny especially when I compare it to the expense and hassle of having to visit the doctor and pay for an antibiotic. My last doctor visit for a U.T.I. cost me $100 and the antibiotic another $50. Ben Franklin said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and these gummies are my preventative maintenance. Before reordering this product I debated on buying the D-mannose powder as a more cost effective solution but I like the taste and convenience of the gummies. I don't need to mix or measure anything, I just pop and few and I'm on my way

Good for youth UTIs

My daughter has had recurrent UTIs since she was a toddler, we've had multiple comprehensive tests done and plenty of education on her part. She's 11 now and cranberry gummies keep UTIs away for her, she prefers the taste of these over the Azo ones

Works Wonders

Great stuff! Has completely eliminated my chronic uti's. The combination of cranberry and d-mannose works wonders. When I feel a flare up coming on, I take 2, 2 times a day and it knocks it out. Tastes good, too

taste good, work, are vegetarian, but I'd like to take D-mannose more often than once a day

I have been having some issues lately; I have a giant fibroid that is pressing on my bladder. I am scheduled for surgery, but not for over a month, and in the meantime, I hate this constant feeling of a UTI coming on (I used to get them all the time as a kid, so I know the feeling). Gummy supplements are a guilty pleasure for me, but I am a vegetarian and I often can't have them. These are thickened with pectin rather than gelatin, so yay! Taking them feels a bit like eating candy, but the calories are pretty low so I usually don't even bother counting them (I count calories to maintain my weight). They don't stick to my teeth too badly and they are a bit tart, but that makes the cranberry part of these feel more authentic. I do feel that these work. I get relief within a few hours of taking these. The only issue I really have with them is that the recommended daily intake is 2 gummies per day. I find that I have better luck taking D-mannose throughout the day. Your system excretes it rather fast, so D-mannose can't really be a time-release sort of supplement. (D-mannose is a sugar in cranberry. Your body can't digest most of it, so you excrete it through the kidneys into the bladder. D-mannose causes bacteria in the bladder to aggregate and pass out in the urine rather than adhering to the bladder wall and causing a UTI.) My dog has been on a different (non-candy) D-mannose supplement for persistent UTIs (she's on prednisone) and I give that to her four times per day. She hasn't had a problem in months. I've been taking four of these gummies per day instead of two (two in the morning and two in the evening). I'd really like to take D-mannose more often, at least until after surgery (and catheter removal, which of course is another UTI risk), but I'm not sure that I should eat 6 or 8 of these a day (at that rate, the bottle would barely last a week...). So although these work and taste good and are vegetarian, I am probably not going to continue buying them since my present situation seems to require more frequent dosing with D-mannose. If I had a problem in the future, though, I would definitely consider these again

helped bladder spasms!!

I've had a terrible time, medically, because a surgeon screwed up. When they finally fixed all of the problems, they'd had to close up a hole in my bladder and re implant my ureter in my bladder...two holes in my bladder and a lot of invasive exams later, I was having horrible, continuous bladder spasms. These gummies help. I still can't drink caffeinated coffee, but I can drink small amounts of low % alcohol without problems (these are both foods that cause spasms). Thank you, Cran Rx

Vitamins vs. antibiotics

I get UTI's left and right. Not because I am unhygenic, but because sex leads them on. My doctor prescribed my macrobid to take after intercourse but a bottle of those cost a fortune and it's probably better to leave those toxins out of my body. So refusing to spend over 50 bucks on antibiotics I figured I'd start taking these (Doctor reccomened these too anyways) and of course peeing after intercourse should help.... I only gave this a 4/5 because idk if they work yet lol. Oh and they do taste good

Way better than the AZO Cranberry Gummy alternative

No signs of my recurring UTI since taking these gummies. They're pectin based and thicker/denser than snack gummies (think welches), but I still love them. The taste takes a little getting used to, but I'd have these over 100% cranberry juice any day. They're not super sweet, nor are they super tart. They're higher up the list of vitamin type gummies I've tried. I don't like that the bottles range between $13-$16 for 60 pieces/1 month pack (2 gummies per day), so I bought the AZO Cranberry Gummies instead because they're cheaper. Boy, was that a mistake. DON'T DO IT. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. THESE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE AZO CRANBERRY GUMMIES. Capslock intended
