Why the UTIs keep coming back
Antibiotics clear the bacteria floating in the pee, so the burning stops. But a lot of the bacteria grab onto the bladder wall with tiny hooks. Those survive the antibiotic, then let go and multiply a few weeks later. It was never a new infection. It is the same one coming back.
How Little Roots helps
Real cranberry and D-Mannose keep the bladder wall slippery, so bacteria cannot grab on and get flushed out with normal peeing. No killing, so nothing to build resistance to. Vitamin C, Zinc, and Elderberry back up a growing immune system, and Inulin feeds the gut. One strawberry gummy a day.
The Science Behind Cranberry + D-Mannose
Real research. Real results. Published studies on the ingredients inside every Little Roots gummy.
Cranberry PACs vs. Bacteria: The Adhesion Test
Howell et al. found that cranberry proanthocyanidins (PACs) demonstrated anti-adhesion activity against both major types of uropathogenic E. coli, helping keep bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract lining.
- Blocked bacterial adhesion to urinary tract cells in lab and clinical settings
- Type-A PACs are the active compound, found in extract but not in juice
- Effect was dose-dependent, supporting daily use of concentrated extract
Supporting the Urinary Tract Naturally
Little Roots combines cranberry extract and D-Mannose with an immune and gut support blend to keep the bladder wall clear, naturally.
D-Mannose
Blocks bacterial hooks so they can't grip the bladder wall
Cranberry PACs
Keeps the bladder wall slippery so bacteria wash out
Immune + Gut Blend
Vitamin C, Zinc, Elderberry, and Inulin for daily defense
D-Mannose: Confirmed Urinary Support
Kranjcec et al. ran a 308-person randomized clinical trial comparing daily D-Mannose against a control group over six months, published in the World Journal of Urology.
- D-Mannose group showed significantly fewer recurrences over 6 months
- Participants reported improved comfort and quality of life
- No significant side effects reported throughout the trial
Frequently asked questions
How does Little Roots work?
How does Little Roots work?
It keeps the bladder wall slippery so bacteria cannot grab on, and flushes out the ones that try. Cranberry coats the wall, D-Mannose pulls bacteria off, and your child flushes them out with normal peeing.
What is D-Mannose?
What is D-Mannose?
A gentle natural sugar the body does not use for fuel. It travels to the bladder and sticks to the bacteria's hooks so they let go of the wall and wash out.
Is this just cranberry juice in a gummy?
Is this just cranberry juice in a gummy?
No. Juice is mostly sugar and has almost none of the part that helps. Little Roots uses real cranberry extract plus D-Mannose, with no added sugar.
Will it replace antibiotics?
