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 rapidly eliminated through urine. For several years, D-Mannose has been studied and used as a natural solution for urinary comfort.
