Description

D-Mannose for Urinary Tract and Bladder Support

D-Mannose is a naturally occurring sugar found in small amounts in fruits such as cranberries and apples.

It is widely used as a nutritional supplement to support urinary tract and bladder health, particularly by women who experience recurrent urinary discomfort.

How D-Mannose Works

D-mannose is thought to work by binding to certain bacteria, particularly E. coli, helping prevent them from attaching to the lining of the urinary tract.

Once attached to D-mannose, the bacteria can then be flushed from the body naturally through urination.

Popular for Ongoing Urinary Support

D-mannose has become increasingly popular as a non-antibiotic approach for supporting urinary tract wellbeing and bladder comfort.

It is commonly used by people looking for everyday urinary tract support or while travelling.

Easy-to-Take Capsule Formula

Each capsule provides 500mg of D-mannose in a convenient vegan capsule.

High Strength Supply

With 180 capsules per bottle, this provides a generous long-term supply.

Research

Research on D-Mannose and Urinary Tract Health

D-mannose has become one of the most widely discussed nutritional supplements for urinary tract support.

Research has focused on its ability to interact with certain bacteria involved in urinary tract infections, particularly Escherichia coli (E. coli).

How D-Mannose May Work

When consumed, D-mannose is largely excreted unchanged in the urine.

Laboratory and clinical research suggests that D-mannose may bind to E. coli bacteria, reducing their ability to adhere to the urinary tract lining.

This may help the bacteria to be flushed naturally from the body.

Research into Recurrent UTIs

Several clinical studies have investigated D-mannose for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), with some reporting reductions in recurrence rates and symptom burden.

However, research findings have not been completely consistent, and larger studies are ongoing.

Antibiotic Resistance and Interest in Alternatives

Interest in D-mannose has grown partly because researchers are exploring non-antibiotic approaches to urinary tract support, particularly in light of increasing antibiotic resistance.
