BIRCH & WILDED-Mannose with Cranberry 1000-2000mg | 30+ Day Supply (90 Capsules x 500mg) | Natural Supplement for UTI, Cystitis, Bladder & Urinary Tract Health

Love it 😻

This is d-mannose with cranberry. You get 90 capsules which should last 30 days if you take 3 per day. The taste is fine and they are easy to swallow.

Before using this I lost count of the number of UTI 's that I had.Thank goodness for Tara at Birch & Wilde

I recently started using the Birch & Wilde urinary tract and bladder health supplements, mainly because I deal urine infections. I was intrigued by the combination of d-mannose and cranberry, both known for their benefits to the urinary tract. The natural ingredients were a big draw for me. The capsules are a bit on the larger side, but they have a smooth coating which makes swallowing them easy, a relief for anyone who struggles with pills.I've been taking them for a few days now, following the recommended dosage on the package, but so far, I haven't noticed a significant difference in my symptoms. I'm going to stick with them a bit longer, hoping the natural ingredients might help prevent any further infections or worsening of symptoms. It's always a bit of a gamble with supplements, as results can vary so much from person to person.

* It isn't always easy to assess the effectiveness of a supplement that may potentially prevent something happening, because you can't categorically say whether you would have avoided the issue in any case.* That said, there is some pretty robust evidence in the public domain to suggest that D-Mannose does help to prevent the build-up of bacteria in the bladder that can lead to UTIs. (Though it should be noted that there is no firm evidence that it helps to clear a UTI after it has already developed).* The provenance and quality is good and it is well packaged with clear information.* The capsules are not excessively large and shouldn't cause problems for anyone without swallowing difficulties.* The recommended daily intake is 1 or 2 capsules per day, depending on whether you are taking them for preventative reasons or to treat an existing problem. As I have already said, there is no solid evidence that D-Mannose can clear up a UTI once it had already established itself and research I have seen suggests that you need 2g per day of D-Mannose to be effective at preventing UTIs, which would actually equate to needing 4 of these capsules per day.* At the current cost of £17.55 for 90 capsules (a 22 day supply if you were to take 4 per day) that works out at a daily cost of about 80p, which is more expensive than other good alternatives I have reviewed previously. (A good product under the Nutrivity brand worked out at only 28p per day, for example.)So, in summary, this is a good product, but not the best value I have come across.I hope you find these comments helpful.
