The two words a cranberry pill is almost never allowed to print
That is not our marketing language. It is the indication Health Canada licensed for this product — NPN 80137608 — after reviewing these two ingredients at these doses. Notice the two words it is permitted to use: prevent, and infections. Turn over the cranberry bottle in your cupboard and see whether it is allowed to use either one.
Cranberry + D-Mannose · 60 capsules · two a day.
Three lines is the complete licence — not the flattering half. Two actives, both disclosed, and one single non-medicinal ingredient: the capsule.
“This is the first thing that actually stopped my recurring UTIs. I haven’t had a single infection since using it.”
“I’ve tried a lot of ‘urinary health’ supplements. Most are fluff. This one actually works. Noticeable improvement within a week.”
“I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks I really notice the benefits. Less urgency, less discomfort.”
Why this and not the $12 cranberry pill: because most of those are juice powder with no concentration ratio printed anywhere, and no D-Mannose in the bottle at all. This is 300 mg of D-Mannose and a 25:1 cranberry concentrate, both disclosed, with exactly one non-medicinal ingredient — the capsule. That is $1.37 a day, against another round of antibiotics.

“I’ve tried a lot of ‘urinary health’ supplements. Most are fluff. This one actually works. Clean formula, no drama, noticeable improvement within a week. Cranberry + D-mannose is a classic combo for a reason. I’ll be keeping this in rotation.”
Stopped recurring UTIs
“This is the first thing that actually stopped my recurring UTIs. I haven’t had a single infection since using it. Absolutely a lifesaver.”
Huge difference
“I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this one. I’ve struggled with urinary tract issues on and off, and since starting Cranberry + D-Mannose I’ve noticed a huge difference. It feels like my system is finally getting the support it needs — less discomfort, more peace of mind, and no side effects. I also like that it’s a simple, straightforward formula without unnecessary extras. It’s become part of my daily routine, and I genuinely feel more protected and at ease. Highly recommend if you’re looking for natural support.”
works as advertised
“I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks, I really notice the benefits. Less urgency, less discomfort, and overall better urinary health. I appreciate how simple it is to take one capsule instead of juggling multiple supplements. Works as advertised.”
Much easier than taking cranberry and D-mannose separately
“Much easier than taking cranberry and D-mannose separately. One pill instead of two bottles, and it really helps with urinary health. No aftertaste, easy to take, and I feel more comfortable day to day.”
Before you read another benefit
That first flicker of burning, and the whole week rearranges itself around it. You know the walk-in clinic hours by heart. You’ve stopped taking baths, you drink water like it’s a job, you go straight to the bathroom afterwards every single time — and it still came back.
Your doctor wrote “recurrent” on the chart like it was a personality trait, handed you another prescription, and told you to come back if it happens again. Which it will. That’s the part nobody has a plan for.
You’re not unlucky. You’re unprotected in the weeks between infections — and that’s the only place a supplement can actually help.
“Helps prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women.”
That is not marketing copy. It is the indication Health Canada licensed for this product under NPN 80137608, reviewed against the evidence for these two ingredients at these doses. Read it again and notice what it is permitted to say: prevent, and infections — not “supports urinary wellness.” Turn over the cranberry bottle in your cupboard and see whether it is allowed to use either word.
A daily, drug-free routine for the weeks between infections. Two active ingredients, both at doses printed on the label.*

Everything We Are Allowed To Say
Three lines. That is the complete list. Anything else on this page is either published research on an ingredient, a customer’s own words, or a description of how the formula is built — and we have marked which is which.
Now the part of the label nobody reads. Under “non-medicinal ingredients,” most bottles list five or six: dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, bulking agents.
Ours lists one. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose — the plant-based capsule itself. Everything else in that capsule is the two things you paid for.
Backed By Ingredient Science
Cranberry is one of the few supplement ingredients with a Cochrane systematic review behind it. Read what the 2023 review actually found →
Two ingredients you can check. Ninety days to find out whether they held.
The same box wherever you see it on this page. Three bottles is the first supply long enough to tell you anything.
The Headline Ingredient
Most UTIs in women are caused by E. coli bacteria that cling to the urinary tract wall. D-Mannose is a natural sugar your body doesn’t burn for fuel — instead, it travels to your urinary tract, where it’s thought to latch onto those bacteria so they can be flushed out before they take hold.*
That mechanism is why this is a prevention product rather than a treatment, and why the licence says “helps prevent” rather than “helps relieve.” It works in the weeks when nothing is wrong.*
The Urinary Defense Duo
Two ingredients, two mechanisms, one licensed job: helping prevent the next one.*
D-Mannose is studied for loosening the grip of UTI-causing bacteria on the urinary tract wall, so your body can flush them away with normal urine flow.*
Cranberry is the ingredient carrying the licensed prevention claim in this product — the reason the bottle is permitted to use the word “prevent” at all.*
Licensed use: helps prevent (recurrent) urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women.
Get Your Confidence Back
Sex is one of the most common UTI triggers for women. A daily preventive routine is something you can keep up on ordinary days, so being close to your partner stops feeling like a decision with consequences.*
The flights, the long drives, the weekends away you talked yourself out of. Prevention is the only part of this you actually control — and it happens on the days nothing is wrong.*
If you’re caught in the recurring-UTI-and-antibiotics loop, a consistent daily routine is what a licensed prevention product is for — acting before symptoms start rather than after.*
Concentrated Power
Cranberry juice is loaded with sugar — which is exactly what you don’t want when you’re trying to prevent UTIs. Our 200 mg of 25:1 concentrate carries the equivalent of 5,000 mg of cranberry fruit, with none of it.*
That ratio is the number most cranberry labels leave off. “Cranberry 500 mg” could be dried powder, juice solids or a concentrate, and the difference between them is enormous. Ours says 25:1 on the bottle.*

Four women. Four individual experiences, and not one of them a typical result.
Which is exactly why you get ninety days to find out whether yours looks anything like theirs — and your money back, bottles included, if it does not.*
How Aleaf Labs Started
So we stopped shopping and started formulating.
Anyone who has stood in the pharmacy aisle turning a bottle over to read the back knows the moment we’re describing.
You find the ingredient you came for. Cranberry. It’s right there on the front, in big letters, usually 500 mg of something. Then you turn it around looking for the one number that matters — the concentration — and it isn’t there.
Five hundred milligrams of what? Dried powder? Juice solids? A 25:1 concentrate? Those three things differ by a factor of twenty-five and look identical on the shelf.
There’s only one reason a company leaves that number off. If the concentration were impressive, they’d print it. Vague labels don’t protect formulas. They protect margins.
Before we made anything, we bought what was already on the shelf — drugstore brands, big-box brands, the ones with the best Amazon rankings. Forty-some bottles. Here’s the pattern:
Urinary health is a category that runs on desperation. Women who have had four infections in a year will buy almost anything, and the label writers know it. That is exactly the sort of customer who deserves a real number and almost never gets one.
Cranberry + D-Mannose is two active ingredients. Not twelve. Two — D-Mannose at 300 mg and cranberry as a 25:1 concentrate, 200 mg of extract carrying the equivalent of 5,000 mg of fruit. Both numbers are on the label and both match the public licence record, so you can check us rather than trust us.
Then there is the part of the label nobody reads and everybody should: the non-medicinal ingredients. Ours is one item long. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose — the plant-based capsule itself. No dicalcium phosphate, no magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, no bulking agents. Everything else in the bottle is the two things you paid for.
Turn our bottle around. Everything is on the back. That was the entire point.
One. If you have a UTI right now, this is not what you need. Burning, urgency, cloudy or bloody urine — and especially fever, chills, nausea or pain in your back or side — means you need to be seen today. An untreated bladder infection can climb to your kidneys, and that is a hospital problem, not a supplement problem. The licence says prevent. It does not say treat, and neither do we.
Two. It won’t work for everyone. D-Mannose targets E. coli specifically — the cause of most recurring UTIs in women, but not all of them. If yours are driven by a different organism, or by a structural or hormonal issue, this won’t move the needle and a proper workup with your doctor will.
Three. Our cranberry is not standardized to a PAC percentage, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on a page that spends four paragraphs attacking vague labels. What is disclosed is the concentration ratio — 25:1, 200 mg carrying 5,000 mg fruit equivalent. If a competitor prints a verified PAC number, that is a fair thing for them to print and a fair thing for you to weigh. What we will not do is print a number we cannot stand behind, which is the same reason every other figure on this page is one you can check.
Four. Check with your doctor first if you take blood thinners or have a history of kidney stones. Both are cautions on this product’s licence, and both are easy to miss on a page like this one.
This is for the weeks between infections. That’s the honest description of what a daily D-Mannose and cranberry routine is for — and it is also why we stopped giving you thirty days to judge it. If your infections arrive every eight or ten weeks, a thirty-day window shuts before the next one was due. Ninety days is the first honest test, so ninety days is what the guarantee runs.
For women prone to recurring UTIs, prevention beats reaction every time. The hard part isn’t the science — it’s taking something daily on the days you feel completely fine. That is the whole discipline.*— Aleaf Labs Product Science Team
Stock Up & Save
The 90-Day Guarantee. Keep the bottles. We used to give you thirty days and ask for the empty bottle back. That was the wrong offer, and the reason is arithmetic rather than generosity: if your infections arrive every eight or ten weeks, a thirty-day window closes before the next one was even due. It could not tell you anything.
So take it for ninety days. If you have had an infection in that time, or nothing about the weeks in between feels any different, email support@aleaflabs.com with your order number and we refund every dollar of the purchase price. One bottle or three. Do not mail anything back — we do not want the bottles.
Answers
If you’ve been dealing with this for years, you have almost certainly already bought something that promised to fix it. Cranberry pills with no concentration ratio listed. D-Mannose powder that tasted like sand. A juice that was mostly sugar, which is the last thing a bladder needs.
So here is what we did instead: both ingredients in one capsule at doses printed on the label — 300 mg of D-Mannose and 200 mg of a 25:1 cranberry concentrate — one single non-medicinal ingredient, and a licence number on the bottle.
We can’t promise you’ll never have another UTI. Nobody honest can, and the licence doesn’t let us pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is that prevention is the only part of this you actually control, and that ninety days is long enough to find out whether it helps you — which is exactly why the supply and the guarantee are both cut to that length.
