D-Mannose

Origin and history


D-Mannose is a simple sugar naturally present in small quantities in certain plants and fruits, including cranberries, blueberries, apples, and peaches. It belongs to the monosaccharide family, like glucose, but its metabolism is different: it is not stored by the body and is quickly eliminated through the urinary tract. For several years, D-Mannose has been studied and used as a natural solution for urinary comfort.

Properties and benefits of D-Mannose

D-Mannose is best known for its role in supporting urinary comfort:


  • It helps limit the attachment of bacteria to the bladder lining.

  • It helps reduce the frequency of recurring urinary discomfort.

  • It promotes healthy urinary elimination, in combination with proper hydration.

Its use is particularly appreciated by people prone to recurrent urinary tract problems. Unlike antibiotics, it does not destroy the intestinal flora, making it a gentle and well-tolerated alternative.
