D-Mannose Capsules 500 mg – 120 pcs

D-Mannose Capsules 500 mg; pack size: 120 pcs.

Warning: Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. This food supplement capsule contains six-carbon D-mannose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is a component of certain polysaccharides forming the shells of seeds. It is also found in fruit (cranberries, aloe vera, etc.), honey, and oligosaccharide compounds that form the cell walls of certain fungi (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). It is quickly eliminated from the body. Some literature describes its positive effects on urinary tract health. Mannose is a simple sugar that is the molecular mirror image of glucose. Although mannose occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, extracting it from these sources slightly changes its structure, as the extracted substance is known as D-mannose and differs from mannose in its natural state. Mannose also occurs naturally in corn and potatoes, as well as in various fungi and molds. Powders and tablets marketed as D-mannose are extracted from beechwood and birchwood fibers. Urinary tract infections are generally caused by Escherichia coli, or E. coli, bacteria. E. coli have tiny hair-like structures called fimbriae, which attach to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract. Instead, D-mannose passes through the body very quickly. As mentioned above, D-mannose is a simple sugar that closely resembles glucose and occurs naturally in fruit and some plants. D-mannose is a carbohydrate that the human body cannot fully absorb, so it generally does not enter the bloodstream. Since D-mannose is excreted through the kidneys, it can flush the bladder and the entire urinary tract. The bacteria are thus left floating freely and are expelled in the urine. D-mannose specifically helps prevent these bacteria from multiplying. However, if symptoms do not improve within 2 days, consult a doctor, as the problem is likely caused by a different bacterium.

Active ingredient: Per 3 capsules: D-mannose 1.5 g (1500 mg).
