D-Mannose Capsules 500 mg - 120pcs

Detailed product description

D-mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar that the body uses to cleanse the urinary tract and maintain a healthy bladder lining. It is only metabolized in small amounts, with excess amounts being rapidly excreted in the urine, so it does not interfere with healthy blood sugar regulation. Clinical studies have shown that when taken regularly, D-mannose promotes normal urinary tract function by cleansing and maintaining the health of the bladder lining.

Active ingredient: In 3 capsules: D-Mannose 1.5 g (1,500 mg)
Other ingredients: Cellulose (capsule), rice flour, stearic acid (vegetable source), magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silica
Dosage: 3 capsules 1-3 times daily. Recommended with water or unsweetened fruit juice (e.g., cranberry juice)
Warning: This dietary supplement is not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

This dietary supplement capsule preparation contains the six-carbon D-mannose, which belongs to the simple sugars (monosaccharides) and is a component of certain polysaccharides that form the endocarp of seeds, but is also found in fruits (cranberry, aloe vera, etc.), honey, and oligosaccharide compounds that form the cell walls of certain fungi (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

It is rapidly cleared from the body. Some literature also describes its positive effect on urinary tract health.

Mannose is a simple sugar that is the molecular mirror image of glucose. While mannose occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, extracting it from them slightly alters its structure, as the extracted substance is so-called D-mannose, which differs from its natural state as simple mannose. Many people rely on mannose to treat urinary tract infections, and more and more research is being directed at this substance to prove its suitability as a medical supplement for this monosaccharide.

Mannose is found in low concentrations in human body tissues, but it is primarily found in fruits and vegetables. Apples, cranberries, and peaches contain it in large quantities, but cranberry is one of the best sources of mannose. Furthermore, mannose occurs naturally in corn and potatoes, as well as in various fungi and molds. Powders and tablets sold under the name D-mannose are extracted from beech or birch fibers.

The use of mannose is excellent for treating bladder diseases and urinary tract infections. According to Dr. Jonathon Wright, lead physician at the Tahoma Clinic, mannose is an effective alternative to traditional antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections. These are generally caused by so-called Escherichia or E. coli bacteria. E. coli have tiny hairs, called fimbriae, that attach to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract. Antibiotics simply kill the E. coli, while mannose only removes its tiny hairs, so they cannot attach to the bladder wall and are flushed out with urine.

Mannose has several advantages over traditional antibiotic treatments. While antibiotics kill E. coli, they can also kill vital bacteria in the bladder, which can lead to yeast infections. Mannose, however, does not affect these beneficial bacteria but helps maintain the body's balance. Thus, mannose not only effectively treats existing infections but also helps prevent them in the future. Unlike glucose and other sugars, mannose is not absorbed into the bloodstream, meaning it does not affect blood sugar levels. Instead, it passes through the body very quickly. We have all heard that one should drink plenty of water or cranberry juice for urinary tract infections, right?

Well, cranberry juice contains a simple sugar, D-mannose, which acts as an antibacterial agent. We have already mentioned that D-mannose is a simple sugar very similar to glucose that occurs naturally in fruits and some plants. The specific components of D-mannose have extremely beneficial effects on the body regarding its absorption and the treatment of infections of the bladder and urinary tract.

D-mannose is a carbohydrate that the human body cannot fully absorb, so it is not typical for D-mannose to enter the bloodstream. Some preliminary research has shown that 90% of mannose is excreted in the urine in unchanged form within half an hour to an hour after ingestion. For this reason, D-mannose is not metabolized like other sugars in the body, so it has no effect on blood sugar levels, but it has a beneficial effect on the bladder. Since D-mannose is excreted through the kidneys, it is able to flush out the bladder and the entire urinary tract.

The antibacterial property of D-mannose: it cleanses the bladder and urinary tract as it passes through them. This substance not only cleanses the mucous membrane but also makes it impossible for bacterial cells to attach to the wall of the mucous membrane and create infections there. The bacteria thus float freely and are eliminated along with the urine. Nowadays, half of all women experience the discomfort of urinary tract infections. The main culprit is the E. coli bacterium, which is responsible for 90% of such infections. E. coli is normally found in the stomach and intestinal tract, but if it multiplies, it leads to urinary tract infections. D-mannose specifically prevents the proliferation of this bacterium. Thus, with D-mannose, the number of bacteria in the bladder can be significantly reduced within a few days. If we are suffering from a urinary tract infection, it is worth using this substance instead of antibiotics.

In the case of an active infection, this should be accompanied by high fluid intake. However, if symptoms do not subside within 2 days, a doctor should be consulted, as another bacterium is likely causing the problem.
