What is D-mannose? D-mannose is a sugar that naturally occurs in many foods including cranberries, apples, oranges, and peaches. Although D-mannose is a sugar, our body doesn't handle it in the same way it would handle glucose. Where glucose, lactose, and other sugars are used for energy, D-mannose is not. The structure of D-mannose surpasses normal carbohydrate metabolism and the molecule is excreted in the urine where the benefits are reaped. Benefits of D-mannose The primary health benefit of D-mannose is due to its link to cranberry juice as the sugar subsides symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers believe that D-mannose works to prevent pathogenic or bad bacteria from latching onto the urinary tract which causes an infection. Instead, the sugar attaches to the bacteria, making it easier to pass urine. D-mannose also enhances gut health. Our D-mannose tablets Our D-mannose tablets are fairly large at 18mm in diameter, weighing 900mg in a torpedo style tablet. Each tablet contains 750mg of D-mannose, offering a high strength dose.
