I'm just learning about d-mannose and uva ursi helping with uti's &/or bladder infections. can someone tell me the difference in using these products?

Uva Ursi-IS NOT an ANTIBIOTIC. Antibiotics, if misused can cause C.Dif. -I know as I got it from a broad spectrum antibiotic. The C.Dif. put me in cardiac I.C.U. with 5 tubes and a pic line in me. My digestive system was so damaged from the disease I can only eat very mild foods, This is three years later. I don't know where the next poster found their information, but it is incorrect, and laymen shouldn't comment on medications and procedures unless they have a medical degree. Don't play games with your life. Look at websites like John Hopkins, Harvard and the Mayo clinic, and other university medical school websites. Avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. The D-Mannose is a supplement, and the posters were correct; it keeps the sugar molecules from sticking to your urinary tract. Avoid all sugar especially soda pops. Sugar is a favorite food of bacteria. Take the D-Mannose for about a week 5000mg three times a day. The burning stopped on the second day ! Take it for the full week, then once a week, avoiding sugar, and you will stop having iti and bladder infections. My Specialist told me about it, and it is a miracle supplement. Be sure the D-mannose is third party lab tested. Best wishes ! I was a nurse, so I know a little about medicine. Here are the article details: Publication Details OVERVIEW Introduction Uva ursi is an herbal extract derived from the leaves of the Arctostaphylos, a small evergreen shrub, which has been used in Native American traditional medicine for treatment of urinary tract symptoms and as a diuretic. Treatment with extracts of uva ursi has not been specifically linked to serum aminotransferase elevations or to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury. Background Uva ursi is an herbal product derived from the fresh or dried leaves of the plant Arctostaphylos uva-ursi or bearberry, named for the grape-like clusters of orange berries that are commonly eaten by bears. Both Arctostaphylos and uva-ursi mean “grape of the bears”, the former in Greek and the latter in Latin. Uva ursi leaves contain several phytochemicals, including ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, oils, resins, hydroquinone glycosides (mainly “arbutin”), and flavonoids. The active component of uva ursi is suspected to be hydroquinone, and particularly arbutin and methyl arbutin which may have antiinflammatory and antiseptic activities that are excreted in the urine. Uva ursi has been used to treat dysuria, cystitis, urethritis, and kidney and bladder stones. It has also been recommended for inducing diuresis and to treat constipation. In addition, the leaves of Arctostaphylos have been dried and smoked as tobacco, while leaves and berries have also been used as food. While uva ursi has been used extensively in traditional medicine, there is no convincing medical evidence that it is effective in treating urinary tract infections or urinary symptoms. More recently, uva ursi has been included in multiingredient dietary supplements meant for a variety of conditions such as to induce weight loss, promote wellness, prevent the effects of aging and to increase energy and stamina. Uva ursi is typically available in tablets and capsules of 150, 455 and 505 mg and is taken one to three times daily. It can also be prepared as tea from dried leaves or a powdered extract. Commercial products that contain uva ursi include SLIMQUICK Ultra and Animal Cuts. Side effects are not common but, in high doses, may include nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, shortness of breath and allergic reactions. Rare but potentially severe reactions to high doses of uva ursi may include convulsions, delirium and cardiovascular collapse.

Is the mannose extracted from cranberry? I can't have corn.

I am not sure. Here is the phone no. for Superior Labs that manufacturers the supplement- 888-708-5227. Their website is: www.Superiorlabs.com. On the bottle it states, D-Mannose is a sugar primarily found in cranberries and other fruits. I hope that the manufacturer can more fully answer your question. I do know that this product has been a lifesaver for me in preventing UTIs. Good luck to you.

Does this particular brand come in powder form?
