Description:
This is a dietary supplement sachet combining Cranberry extract, D-Mannose, and Potassium Magnesium Citrate. It is primarily used to support urinary tract health, help prevent and manage recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), promote urine alkalization (to reduce crystal formation and discomfort), and assist in flushing bacteria from the urinary tract. It is not a medication but a nutraceutical for adjunctive use in UTI-prone individuals.
