Product Description

Flavor: (500mg) | Size: 500 mg - 120 Caps

Healthy Urinary Tract Washes Away Undesirable Particles* D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries.Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is rapidly excreted in the urine. In the bladder, D-Mannose can adhere to undesirable foreign substances, preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder. Because insubstantial amounts of D-Mannose are used by the body, it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation.*

5.0 out of 5 stars D-mannose changed my life, October 9, 2008

For the past 2 years I suffered a uti every time I had sex, regardless of obsessive hygiene. The constant use of antibiotics (macrobid, cipro, bactrim) damaged my joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves, especially those in my arms hands and shoulders.

The physical and emotional toll of the uti's and antibiotics was severe and I was at the point where I thought I could never have sex again.

By chance I read an obscure testimonial online about the healing power of this magical sugar and I am relieved to say that since using d-mannose I no longer get a uti after sex. This fact has changed my life and my body is slowly healing from the effects of the antibiotics.

I want everyone who has or is suffering from chronic uti's, and the horrible side effects of antibiotics, to know about d-mannose. It works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended to All Sufferers of UTI's, January 28, 2009

Not all D-Mannose products are created equal. I discovered this because I tried a different kind first and the results were okay, but not amazing. I read that 100% pure D-Mannose is preferable, which is why I turned to this product, and I can definitely say that it works so much better. My UTI's are way more infrequent, and when they do come I can clear them up within a day or two. I take a dose every few hours during an infection, then one dose a day in between as a preventative measure. I haven't felt this free of UTI's in years. When they do come, they seem less severe because this product is already in my system. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from UTI's.

This review is from: D-Mannose (Health and Beauty)

A bladder infection is nothing to take lightly. If you ignore it or try home remedies, you could end up in the hospital with a kidney infection; so, if you *know* you have a full-blown infection, please see a doctor! On the other hand, if you think you *might* be getting one, or you get them frequently, maybe D-Mannose is worth a try.

Whenever I get that telltale stinging sensation or tenderness in the lower abdomen, I immediately start taking 1 tsp of D-Mannose in water, twice a day. I usually feel better within an hour after the first dose, but I find it takes about three days to make sure the discomfort stays gone. I think I might get even better results if I took it once a week as a preventative measure. Prior to finding this product, I'd tried cranberry juice concentrate capsules, pure cranberry juice, gallons of water, and a couple of home remedies I found on the Internet, but I always ended up in the doctor's office anyway. Now I have a first line of defense that actually works!

The bottle looks small, but you actually get quite a few doses out of it. I've used it for several courses of treatment already, and still have some left, though it's finally time to reorder. It's not medicine-y or gritty at all; in fact, if you put a bit on the tip of your tongue, it tastes a little like powdered sugar. I can't promise you this will work for you, but it's definitely something I don't want to run out of.
