Novel Ingredient Services, West Caldwell, NJ, has been selected by Chinese company KEB Biotechnology as its exclusive distribution agent for D-Mannose in North America. The branded ingredient will be trademarked and sold as UT-Pro, referencing the ingredient’s role in supporting urinary tract health. Derived from glucose, UT-Pro from KEB is absorbed eight times slower than glucose. Instead, it goes directly into the blood stream from the upper GI tract, where it is primarily filtered through the kidneys and routed to the bladder. UT‑Pro supports urinary tract health by coating matter found in the bladder and urinary tract, so it cannot cling to the walls and is literally rinsed away.
