D-mannose is a simple sugar, while cranberry extract is obtained from the American cranberry. There are also herbal formulas that combine several plants. No health claims have been approved for any of these substances in the EU, so we do not mention any effects and describe the products factually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range you will find D-mannose from LUTO Supplements, Vit4ever and Swanson, cranberry extract from Vit4ever and NOW Foods, Uva Ursi with cranberry and corn silk, and Chanca Piedra from Swanson, Cystone from Himalaya, and Water Out Complex and Kidney Essentials from German Elite Nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is D-mannose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is chemically related to glucose. It occurs naturally in small amounts in cranberries, apples, peaches, oranges, and other foods. For supplements, D-mannose is usually obtained from plant sources such as birch or beech wood or corn. In powder form, it has a slightly sweet taste and dissolves easily in water. Because D-mannose is a sugar, it counts toward your total sugar intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eD-mannose as powder, capsules or tablets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose powder from LUTO Supplements and Vit4ever comes in 250-gram jars with a measuring scoop. Powder makes it easy to dose the amount yourself and is suitable for those who prefer not to take capsules. Capsules and tablets are more convenient on the go: in this collection you will find D-mannose capsules of 1500 mg (Vit4ever) and 700 mg (Swanson) and tablets of 1000 mg (LUTO Supplements). There is also a powder in which D-mannose is combined with cranberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCranberry extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberry extract comes from the American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Cranberries naturally contain proanthocyanidins, abbreviated PAC, a group of plant compounds. Extracts are often standardized to a fixed percentage of PAC, such as 6 percent in the cranberry extract from Vit4ever. NOW Foods combines cranberry with vitamin C. When comparing, look at the amount of extract per capsule and the PAC content, as these vary greatly by product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHerbal formulas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a small shrub whose leaves are used; Swanson combines it with cranberry and corn silk, the threads from the corn cob. Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) is a plant from tropical regions in South America and Asia. Cystone from Himalaya is an Ayurvedic herbal formula in tablet form. Water Out Complex and Kidney Essentials from German Elite Nutrition combine several plant extracts. There are (yet) no approved health claims for these herbs in the EU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrinking and daily habits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking enough is part of a healthy lifestyle. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises adults to drink approximately 1.5 to 2 liters of fluids per day, preferably water, unsweetened tea, or coffee. You need more in hot weather or when exercising a lot. Supplements complement a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle; they are not a substitute for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for when choosing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare the amount of active substance per serving, the number of servings per package, and the form that suits you. For cranberry, look at the PAC content, and for herbal formulas, look at the composition and the amount of each herb. Stick to the recommended daily dosage on the packaging. Bearberry is not intended for long-term use and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for children. If you take medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to see your GP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplements are not a substitute for medical advice. If you have urinary tract or bladder complaints, or if symptoms persist, contact your GP. If you are pregnant, take medication, or have a medical condition, always discuss the use of a supplement with your doctor or pharmacist first.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"d-mannose","title":"D-Mannose Powder | 250 g | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eD-Mannose Powder by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have probably heard of D-mannose before. Vit4ever offers the substance in its purest form, as \u003cstrong\u003eD-mannose powder\u003c\/strong\u003e without any frills. One ingredient, nothing else. This makes this powder interesting for those who want to know exactly what is in their daily serving and do not like long labels with unknown additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-mannose exactly is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose is a simple sugar, chemically related to glucose but with a slightly different structure. The difference lies in the arrangement of the molecule: a few atoms are arranged differently, and that appears to be enough to make your body treat it completely differently. Your body also produces small amounts of it itself, among other things during the formation of certain proteins located on the outside of cells. Unlike regular sugar, your body processes D-mannose into energy only to a limited extent. That is exactly what makes the substance different from, for example, glucose or table sugar, which are almost completely absorbed and burned in your metabolism. What many people do not know: D-mannose also occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits, but in much lower concentrations than in a concentrated powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin from non-GMO maize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever extracts this D-mannose powder from non-GMO maize. The starch from the maize is processed into a fine, white powder with a mild natural sweetness. No flavorings, colorings, sweeteners, or other additives are used. What remains is one hundred percent D-mannose. People who do not care much for long ingredient lists will appreciate that, because you know exactly what you are getting. Many users wonder whether powder is different from capsules. The difference is mainly in the form, not in the substance itself: a capsule often contains the same D-mannose, just encapsulated in a shell made of, for example, cellulose. Moreover, with powder you can decide yourself how to take it and in what amount of liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDissolving, dosing and why powder can be convenient\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose powder dissolves easily in cold water. Stir it in, wait a few seconds and it is ready to drink. A lukewarm or hot drink can also be used, although the taste will change slightly. The powder itself is naturally mildly sweet, which means you can also drink it perfectly well without juice or syrup. Some people mix it with yogurt or a smoothie, but plain water remains the simplest way. Good to know: the powder does not clump easily, even if you take it in a bottle and stir it on the go. With powder you decide the amount of liquid and the time of intake yourself, which is less flexible with capsules, and for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets, this is a practical advantage. The 250-gram package is compact enough for the kitchen cupboard and will last for quite a while with a daily dose of 2 grams: approximately 125 servings from one jar. The included scoop makes dosing straightforward: two scoops per day, no more and no less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and one ingredient without doubt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the powder does not clump easily, a serving is also easy to prepare on the go: just stir it in a bottle of water and it is ready, without needing a blender or shaker. At home, a sealed jar in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, is sufficient so that the powder retains its texture and mild sweetness. Because there are no flavorings or other sensitive additives, D-mannose powder is less susceptible to quality loss than supplements with, for example, added flavorings, and a sealed package remains usable for a long time. With many powder supplements you have to read the ingredient list carefully to see what else has been added besides the main substance; with this product that question is quickly answered, because there is only one name on the label, D-mannose, and nothing else. This also makes the powder suitable for those who want to easily combine it with other supplements or food, without having to consider overlapping additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with this D-mannose powder from Vit4ever you get a simple, pure product without unnecessary additives. Suitable for those who are conscious about their diet and supplements and prefer to keep control over the dosage and time of intake themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43345890443484,"sku":"vit4-204","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-d-mannose-1.jpg?v=1793623857"},{"product_id":"d-mannose-180-capsules-1500-mg-vit4ever","title":"D-Mannose 1500mg | 180 capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eD-Mannose 1500mg by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have probably seen the name \u003cstrong\u003eD-Mannose\u003c\/strong\u003e before among other supplements, without knowing exactly what it is. D-Mannose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide) that naturally occurs in small amounts in some fruits and grains. Vit4ever incorporates this substance in an amount of 1500 mg per daily dose of 2 capsules, in a formula that has been deliberately kept simple. No extra herbs, no flavorings, no unnecessary fillers. Just D-Mannose and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-Mannose actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose is structurally similar to glucose, but your body processes it differently. While glucose is largely broken down for energy, D-Mannose is only converted to a limited extent in your metabolism. There is no approved health claim for D-mannose; therefore, we are only describing here what it is, how it is made, and how much is in each capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom corn fermentation to capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D-Mannose in this product is not extracted directly from fruit, as that would be economically unfeasible. Instead, the raw material is obtained through corn fermentation: starch from corn is converted into pure D-Mannose in a controlled process. This method produces a consistent, pure raw material without the varying composition that you sometimes encounter with plant extracts. The end result is a white, crystalline powder that is then mechanically dosed into the capsules. Manufacturers choose fermentation because the process is easy to control and consistently produces the same level of purity, batch after batch. At Vit4ever, every batch of raw material is checked before it is processed into capsules, so that you get the same composition package after package. That is immediately the difference with cheaper, non-fermented variants: they can vary greatly in purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the capsule shell is plant-based\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, often abbreviated as HPMC. This is a substance derived from cellulose and therefore completely plant-based, unlike the traditional gelatin capsule which is made from animal collagen. For people who live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, or who simply prefer not to take animal-derived ingredients, this is a practical difference. HPMC capsules are also more stable in varying humidity than gelatin, which allows for a longer shelf life of the contents. Vit4ever deliberately chooses this version, even though gelatin is often cheaper to produce. The result is a capsule that is easy to swallow and that, just like the contents, is free from animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage, use and comparing D-Mannose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 750 mg of D-Mannose, and the recommended daily dose of 2 capsules thus amounts to 1500 mg per day. That is an amount that aligns with what is used in most D-Mannose supplements on the market, often somewhere between 1000 and 2000 mg per day. With 180 capsules per package, you get 90 daily doses, well over three months with daily use of 2 capsules. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. D-Mannose is also offered as a loose powder in the supplement market. Powder has the advantage that you can freely adjust the amount, but it does require measuring and dissolving in water. A capsule like this one from Vit4ever gives you a fixed, pre-measured amount each time, without the hassle of a measuring spoon. This formula contains only D-mannose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying a D-Mannose supplement is for many people mainly a matter of comparing purity and dosage. With Vit4ever D-Mannose 1500mg you know exactly what you are taking: a single substance, clearly dosed, without additives that unnecessarily complicate the composition. That makes this product a straightforward choice for those specifically looking for D-Mannose in a fixed daily amount, packaged in a vegan capsule that you can take without extra steps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43622970392796,"sku":"vit4-186","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-d-mannose-180-capsules-1500-mg-vit4ever-1.png?v=1793698730"},{"product_id":"vit4ever-cranberry-extract-6-proanthocyanidinen","title":"Cranberry Extract 6% Proanthocyanidins | 365 capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCranberry 25:1 extract by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberry has been known for years as a popular supplement, but what exactly is in such a capsule varies considerably by brand. This product from Vit4ever contains \u003cstrong\u003ecranberry extract\u003c\/strong\u003e in a 25:1 concentration, supplemented with vitamin C. Two capsules per day provide 1000 mg of cranberry extract, with a fixed amount of proanthocyanidins. Convenient for those who prefer taking a clearly dosed capsule rather than drinking a glass of cranberry juice every day, especially if you are on the go or don't feel like preparing juice all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a 25:1 extract actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 25:1 extract, 25 kilos of fresh cranberries have been reduced to 1 kilo of extract powder. That ratio says something about the concentration level. That is why the percentage of proanthocyanidins is also stated on the label: 6%. Proanthocyanidins, often abbreviated as PACs, are a group of plant substances that are naturally found in the skin of the cranberry and are responsible for part of the characteristic tart taste. Per daily dose of 2 capsules, that comes down to 60 mg of proanthocyanidins, so 30 mg per capsule. What many people do not know: not every cranberry extract on the market states this percentage, which means that as a buyer you often cannot compare what you are actually getting. With this product, that percentage is fixed and can be found on the label, so you know exactly what is in each capsule instead of relying on a vague indication without further specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cranberry and vitamin C are often found together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberry extract is almost always combined with vitamin C in supplements, and that is no coincidence. Both substances are naturally present in the fruit itself, cranberries naturally contain a considerable amount of vitamin C. Vit4ever chooses to add another 80 mg of vitamin C per daily dose, which is equal to 100% of the reference intake (the amount the EU uses as a daily guideline). \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, the process by which your body converts nutrients into usable energy. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the capsule is constructed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material that serves as an alternative to the traditional gelatin capsule. The difference is that gelatin is of animal origin, usually obtained from the bones or skin of cattle or pigs, while HPMC is completely plant-based and produced from cellulose plants. Therefore, this capsule is suitable for those who eat vegetarian or vegan, without having to compromise on the dosage or composition of the extract itself. The rest of the contents consists of the cranberry extract itself and L-ascorbic acid, the chemical name for the added vitamin C. No unnecessary additives, no flavorings or colorings, just the two ingredients packaged in a capsule that you take with a glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCranberry extract in practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 365 capsules in the package and a daily dose of 2 pieces, you end up with about 182 daily doses. That is well over half a year with one package, without having to reorder halfway through. Buying cranberry juice and drinking it daily quickly costs more effort: you have to get it into the house, store it refrigerated, and it does not last long after opening. In addition, the sugar levels in juices from the supermarket vary greatly, and much of that juice is diluted with other fruit juices to make the taste less sour. A capsule with a fixed standardized percentage of PACs and a fixed amount of vitamin C at least gives you clarity about what you are getting, day in day out, without the sugar and the volume of juice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773176971484,"sku":"vit4-286","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/CranberryExtractVit4ever.jpg?v=1759217912"},{"product_id":"d-mannose-700-mg-60-capsules-swanson","title":"D-Mannose 700mg | 60 capsules | Swanson","description":"\u003ch2\u003eD-Mannose 700mg from Swanson\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eD-mannose\u003c\/strong\u003e is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in various fruits.

One bottle contains 60 capsules, enough for two months at one capsule per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat uva ursi is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUva ursi is the Latin name for bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), a low, creeping bush with small red berries that grows in cool, northern regions. The name literally means bearberry, because bears are fond of the berries. For supplements, it is not the berries but the leaves that are used. The leaf naturally contains arbutin, a plant substance that is characteristic of bearberry. Uva ursi was listed in old American and European herbal books for a long time, which shows how deeply rooted the herb is in tradition. Arbutin is the substance from which uva ursi derives a large part of its character, and the leaf is precisely the part of the plant in which that substance is most concentrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCranberry and corn silk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCranberry, or bog cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), is the best known of the three. The bright red berry is widely eaten, fresh and dried, and naturally contains proanthocyanidins, a group of polyphenols that give the berry its color and character. Corn silk (Zea mays) is much less well known: it is the fine, silky threads, the stigmas, that you see at the top of a corn cob under the leaves. Many people wonder what corn silk has to do with the other two. The answer lies in tradition: all three belong to the plants that have been used together for generations. Precisely that long shared history explains why corn silk, which is known to few people on its own, has found a place in this formula alongside the much better known cranberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree herbs in a capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind a combination is simple. Instead of buying three separate bottles and dosing them yourself, everything is together in a capsule. Each capsule contains 200mg corn silk, 200mg cranberry and 200mg uva ursi, in a fixed ratio. This way you get the whole trio in one go, without having to mix or weigh it yourself. The three herbs complement each other within the recipe, each with its own plant profile and its own place in tradition. That makes the classic trio practical for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe capsule and what is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the three herbs, there are excipients: maltodextrin and brown rice flour as carriers, calcium palmitate, magnesium hydroxide and citric acid. The capsule itself is made of gelatin. You take one capsule per day with water, and it is wise to drink enough during the day. In short: this is the classic trio of uva ursi, cranberry and corn silk, brought together in a bottle of 60 capsules for those who prefer to dose the combination pre-measured rather than assemble it themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47730571379026,"sku":"Swanson-067","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/HerbalUrinaryCare-FeaturingCranberry.jpg?v=1708610951"},{"product_id":"water-out-complex-voor-waterbalans-180-capsules","title":"Water Out Complex | 180 capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWater Out Complex from German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for an herbal formula with multiple plant extracts in a capsule? The \u003cstrong\u003eWater Out Complex\u003c\/strong\u003e from German Elite Nutrition combines eight botanical extracts in a jar of 180 capsules. A daily dose of six capsules provides a total of 3760 mg of plant extracts. The formula is vegan and contains no artificial additives. Popular among athletes and active people who prefer to have various botanical extracts combined in one product rather than separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in Water Out Complex\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis of this Water Out Complex consists of eight plant extracts. Per daily dose of six capsules, these are: 900 mg green tea extract (standardized to EGCG), 900 mg nettle extract, 600 mg dandelion root extract, 450 mg cranberry extract, 450 mg juniper berry extract, 300 mg prickly pear extract, 150 mg artichoke extract (with cynarine), and 12 mg black pepper extract (with piperine). In total, this amounts to 3760 mg of plant extracts per day. Currently, no approved European health claims are available for these plant substances. Therefore, we describe the extracts solely as botanical ingredients, focusing on origin and concentration, and do not attribute any specific effects to them. What characterizes this product is not a single main ingredient, but the combination of eight extracts in a fixed ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Green Tea to Juniper Berry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the names on the label are well-known plants. You know green tea from the tea plant Camellia sinensis; the extract is standardized to EGCG, one of the plant substances from the leaf, and naturally contains caffeine. Nettle and dandelion are plants that many people know as weeds from the garden, but both have a long history in herbal tradition. Cranberry is the red bog berry that you also find as juice. Juniper berry is the berry-like fruit that gives gin its distinctive flavor. Prickly pear comes from the fig cactus found in arid regions. Artichoke is the thistle-like vegetable whose extract contains cynarine, a bitter plant substance. And black pepper provides piperine, the pungent substance you know from the pepper mill. Each is a plant extract, brought together here in one formula. Many of these plants have been used for generations in herbal traditions, from teas and infusions to modern extracts. What they have in common in this product is that they are processed not as raw herbs but as concentrated extracts. This allows eight different plants to fit together in a daily dose of six capsules, whereas with loose herbs, you would need a much larger volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 10:1, 25:1, and 4:1 Mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost extracts in this Water Out Complex have a ratio, such as 10:1 for nettle, dandelion, and juniper berry, 25:1 for cranberry, and 4:1 for prickly pear. This ratio indicates the concentration. For 10:1, ten parts of dried plant are needed for one part of extract; for 25:1, even twenty-five parts. The higher the first number, the more concentrated the extract. This way, you get a concentrated form of the plant in a compact capsule, instead of large quantities of raw herb. The difference with ordinary plant powder lies precisely in that concentration. Additionally, the green tea extract, artichoke extract, and black pepper extract are standardized to a fixed plant substance: EGCG, cynarine, and piperine, respectively. Standardization means that each batch achieves the same content of that substance, providing a predictable product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, Vegan, and How to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule contains only the plant extracts and a plant-based capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No magnesium stearate, no colorings, flavorings, or preservatives, and no genetically modified raw materials. The product is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, so it fits into various dietary patterns. Because everything is in capsule form, you don't have to work with powders or infusions, and you measure the same amount every day. The recommended daily dose is six capsules, divided into two servings of three capsules per day, with sufficient water. One jar contains 180 capsules, which is enough for thirty days. Because green tea extract naturally contains caffeine, it's best not to take the capsules right before bedtime. Use the product as a supplement in addition to a varied diet and adhere to the indicated daily dose. If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this Water Out Complex is a vegan herbal formula with eight plant extracts, from green tea and nettle to juniper berry and artichoke, totaling 3760 mg per day, without unnecessary additives.

Each 2.5-gram scoop contains 2000 mg of D-Mannose and 500 mg of 25:1 cranberry extract, including 30 mg of proanthocyanidins. No capsule shell, no artificial flavors or colors. Just a fine powder that dissolves in water. Ideal for those who prefer not to swallow pills or simply want to know exactly what is in their supplement, down to the milligram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is D-Mannose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose is a simple sugar, chemically related to glucose but with a slightly different structure. It is not a vitamin, mineral, or protein, but a monosaccharide that occurs naturally in, for example, cranberries, apples, and peaches, albeit in small amounts. In powder form, you get a concentrated amount right away, without having to eat piles of fruit to get the same amount. Manufacturers usually derive D-Mannose from corn or birch wood, after which it is purified into a white, flavorless powder that is barely sweet compared to regular sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCranberry extract 25:1: what does that ratio mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 25:1 extract means that 25 kilos of fresh cranberries were needed to make 1 kilo of extract. This allows you to get a concentrated dose of the substances naturally found in the fruit from a small amount of powder. Some of these are proanthocyanidins, plant compounds from the polyphenol group. This product contains 30 mg of proanthocyanidins per daily dose, which is 6% of the 500 mg of cranberry extract. Cranberries also naturally contain vitamin C and other plant compounds, but a 25:1 extract focuses on the concentrated fruit compounds rather than the vitamin content. The extraction process removes most of the water and sugars from the fruit, ultimately leaving a concentrated powder instead of juice or dried fruit. This makes it possible to capture a multitude of plant compounds in 500 mg of extract that you would otherwise only get from large quantities of fresh fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow D-Mannose differs from regular sugars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in the molecular structure. Glucose is readily processed by your body and used as fuel. D-Mannose has a slightly different structure and is barely sweet. It is often offered together with cranberry, but they are two different ingredients: one is a sugar molecule, the other a collection of plant compounds, and both occur naturally in the same berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy powder instead of capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowder has a practical advantage: you can easily adjust the amount, and it dissolves quickly in cold water. No capsule shell is needed, which means no additional excipient is required to enclose the contents. For people who have difficulty swallowing capsules, this is a great solution. Besides, 250 grams may not sound like much, but at 2.5 grams per dose, you get about 100 servings per package. That is well over three months with daily use. The included scoop makes dosing easy: you do not have to weigh or estimate; one full scoop is exactly the intended amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose and cranberry extract are two different substances that happen to often be offered together, probably because they both occur naturally in cranberries. D-Mannose is the sugar, proanthocyanidins are the plant compounds. This powder from Vit4ever brings both together in one daily dose, without unnecessary additives. Exactly what you are getting is clearly stated on the label: no vague mixtures, but exact amounts per scoop. This way, you know exactly how much D-Mannose and how much cranberry extract you are getting with each serving, without guesswork.

For supplements, it is industrially extracted from plant-based carbohydrate sources. What makes this sugar special is that your body does very little with it in terms of energy production. While glucose is consumed by your cells as fuel, D-Mannose takes a different path. After ingestion, it is absorbed in your intestine and then largely excreted unchanged through the kidneys into your urine. It is therefore not converted into energy like regular sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Powder Instead of Capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose powder has a practical advantage over capsules or tablets.

The formula is based on Didymocarpus pedicellata and Saxifraga ligulata, supplemented with Rubia cordifolia, Cyperus scariosus, Achyranthes aspera, Onosma bracteatum and Vernonia cinerea. Purified shilajit and hajrul yahood bhasma are also included. In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian herbal system, these plants have been used together for centuries.

Each daily dose of two tablets provides, among other things, 130 mg of Didymocarpus leaf extract and 98 mg of Saxifraga rhizome extract, supplemented with smaller amounts of the other plants. The extracts are standardised. This means that every tablet has the same fixed composition, batch after batch. Good to know: shilajit is a mineral-rich, resinous substance that is extracted from the Himalayan mountains and has a long-established place in Ayurveda.

In the Ayurvedic tradition, each of the nine ingredients has its own name. In Sanskrit, Cyperus scariosus is called Nagarmusta. Cyperus scariosus may contribute to appetite and the activity of the digestive tract* . The other plants, such as Onosma bracteatum and Vernonia cinerea, are mentioned together in the classical texts. You do not need to work with individual herbs yourself.

The formula contains astragalus, nettle, tart cherry, pine bark, celery, and goldenrod. A daily serving of nine capsules provides 5200 mg of plant extracts. The product is intended for people who consciously choose plant-based herbal formulas and value standardized raw materials. It comes in a compact capsule, brought together in a botanical complex instead of separate jars. Purchasing six different extracts separately would result in a significant collection of jars; here, they are contained in a single formula with a fixed ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSix plant extracts in one serving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer daily serving of nine capsules, you get 3000 mg of astragalus extract, of which 2040 mg are polysaccharides, 600 mg of nettle extract, 400 mg of tart cherry extract, 400 mg of pine bark extract with 380 mg of proanthocyanidins, 400 mg of celery extract, and 400 mg of goldenrod extract. Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is a plant from traditional Chinese herbal medicine and, with 3000 mg, forms the core of the formula. Nettle and goldenrod are plants traditionally used in herbal blends in Europe. Tart cherry and pine bark each contribute their own plant components, such as the proanthocyanidins from pine bark. These proanthocyanidins belong to the polyphenols, a large group of plant compounds also found in other plant-based foods. Tart cherry also provides its characteristic red plant pigments. Celery completes the list of six. Because the six together provide 5200 mg per serving, the daily dosage of plant extracts is on the high side compared to many single herbal products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandardized extracts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll plant extracts used are processed and standardized through a controlled process. This means that the ratio of important plant components remains consistent from batch to batch. Astragalus, for example, provides a fixed content of polysaccharides, and pine bark a standardized amount of proanthocyanidins. Many people wonder what the difference is between an extract and dried plant material. In short: an extract concentrates the plant components, so you get the same content from a smaller amount. This way, a serving contains six different extracts without the capsules becoming unnecessarily large. This makes this botanical complex compact despite its broad composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe plants in brief\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the six extracts has its own background. Astragalus has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese herbal medicine and provides polysaccharides here. Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a well-known native plant found in many European herbal blends. Tart cherry is known for its natural plant pigments, anthocyanins. Pine bark is the source of proanthocyanidins, a group of polyphenols. Celery provides its own characteristic plant compounds, which is why the product lists celery as an allergen on the label, and goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea) rounds off the whole as a classic European herb found in many traditional herbal blends. Together, they form the broad matrix around which this botanical complex revolves, each with a standardized content of characteristic components. Astragalus is by far the largest component, with 3000 mg accounting for more than half of the total 5200 mg per serving. The other five extracts supplement this with 400 to 600 mg each, maintaining a balanced distribution across multiple plants. Moreover, because the six extracts come from different plant families, each brings its own profile of plant compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan formula without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKidney Essentials uses only plant-based capsules and is free from gelatin, lactose, artificial colors, and preservatives. Rice flour is chosen as a filler. A frequently asked question is whether you can use this herbal complex long-term. The product is designed as a supplement within a balanced diet and is suitable for regular use. As with any dietary supplement, it is not a substitute for a varied diet, but a supplement you consciously choose. Moreover, because the capsules are plant-based, this botanical complex also fits a vegan diet. A jar contains 270 capsules, sufficient for 30 servings of nine capsules. The daily serving consists of nine capsules because a lot of plant material goes into one serving: 5200 mg of extracts simply does not fit into one or two capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Kidney Essentials brings together six standardized plant extracts in a vegan capsule, with astragalus as the main ingredient.

The red berries are full of plant compounds from the group of polyphenols. The best known of these are proanthocyanidins, abbreviated as PACs. The difference with other berries lies in the form of those PACs. Cranberry contains mainly the so-called A-type, with an extra chemical bond between the building blocks. Grapes and cocoa, on the other hand, contain mainly the B-type. What many people do not know: cranberries are so sour that almost no one eats them raw. Almost everything you find in the store is sweetened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom bog berry to capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberries grow on low, creeping bushes in sandy peat soils, especially in the American states of Wisconsin and Massachusetts and in Canada. The harvest is quite a sight. Farmers flood the fields in the fall, shake the bushes loose, and then the berries float to the surface. This is possible because each berry has small air pockets. After that, they are scooped up, washed, and dried. For this product, NOW grinds the dried fruit into a fine powder. By the way, the indigenous peoples of North America used cranberry centuries before the Europeans arrived, among other things in pemmican, a shelf-stable mix of dried meat, fat, and berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCranberry in a capsule or as juice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder if a capsule is not simply the same as a glass of cranberry juice.

With these capsules, you get the dried fruit without those additives. And you know exactly how much you are getting: 700mg of cranberry per capsule. In practice, this means a dosage of two capsules, once or twice a day, preferably with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin C is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW has added 20mg of vitamin C per serving, which is good for 25 percent of the reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. And good to know: vitamin C increases iron absorption. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In short: the cranberry provides the plant compounds, the vitamin C completes the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capsules contain only cellulose, plant-based stearic acid, and silicon dioxide. Because it is real fruit powder, the color of the capsule contents may vary slightly per batch. This is normal for a natural product and says nothing about the quality of the cranberry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816719962450,"sku":"Now-063","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/cranberry-met-vitamine-c-now-foods.jpg?v=1790166967"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/urinewegen-blaas.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
