Mannose is a naturally occurring sugar in the human body. It can be found in fruits like cranberries, apples, and oranges. Studies have shown that D-Mannose can help prevent urinary tract infections and reduce the risk of recurrence of UTI in women. Since the antibiotic resistance of UTI pathogens has increased significantly, research has shown that D-Mannose can be used as an alternative to antibiotics. A study also found that D-mannose can alleviate the progression of osteoarthritis. The recommended daily dose is 1-2g for preventing UTI and 3-6g for treating active infection. Product Specifications Powder: 250 grams Contents: 250 G pure D-mannose Serving size: 1 - 5 grams ( 1 Teaspoon) Container: FSC-certified, responsibly sourced paper tube Container dimensions: 8 cm (diameter), 14 cm (height) Labels: Coated paper (faster biodegrading) Benefits: Important in human metabolism (glycosylation of certain proteins) Dietary supplements can reduce the risk of UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and its recurrence. Basically, it can inhibit the E. coli bacteria that cause UTI and prevent it from attaching to the urothelium. Research suggests it can be used as an alternative to antibiotics for the treatment of UTI. Antibiotic resistance of UTI pathogens is increasing alarmingly. Efficacy studies: 1.
