D – MANNOSE

PRODUCT DATA

D-Mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar closely related to glucose, which has applications in Urinary Tract Infections.

 Urinary Tract Infections are caused by build up of E. Coli in the bladder and kidneys.  The E. Coli bacteria stick to the inside walls of bladders and urinary tracts and are not rinsed out by urination.

 Typically, antibiotics are prescribed for Urinary Tract Infections.  Although antibiotics kill “unfriendly” bacteria, they also kill “friendly” bacteria allowing antibiotic insensitive yeast to grow causing yeast infections.

 D-Mannose does not kill bacteria, “friendly” or “unfriendly”.  Instead, D-Mannose helps to move the E. Coli out of the urinary tract.

 D-Mannose passes through the kidneys into the urine and coats the E. Coli bacteria so that it can no longer stick to the inside walls of the bladder and urinary tract and is then rinsed away with normal urination.
