D Mannose Capsules with 600mg D-Mannose Powder Per Cap - with Added Cranberry and Dandelion Extract to Aid in Bladder, Urinary Tract and UTI Support - 120 Veggie Caps

Felt a UTI coming on and a friend recommended these. They really did help stop it from getting worse. I highly recommend this product.

No more UTIs, no side effects from this product.

This was recommended to me by my midwives after I tested positive for GBS in a urine culture. After 2 weeks of taking double the recommended dose, the GBS strain was gone, though I still tested positive for "mixed flora." I've been taking the recommended dose daily, and having a urine culture done once a month for the past two months. Each month, my mixed flora CFU count has gone down (from >100,000 to <25,0000). I've looked into other brands, even at Whole Foods during their supplement sale in January, and this is the cheapest dose per milligram I've found to date.

This is a fairly large clear capsule filled a piece colored powder that comes in a brown plastic bottle with a screw off lid. It has no taste and is easy to swallow. The label states that 1 capsule taken twice a day provides D-mannose 600 mg, cranberry juice powder 100 mg, and dandelion extract 50 mg. The label also states that it contains no GMOs, binders, preservatives, stearates, artificial ingredients, silicone dioxide, or titanium oxide. I noted no digestive side effects. I noticed only a slight improvement in my bladder urgency.

All the reputable articles about this supplement say always see your doctor etc etc, but let's be honest, it's not always possible to do that. I had some plain "cranberry supplement" capsules given to me by a friend and they did nothing for my painful UTI. The thing with cranberry is that it's just hard to get enough of the one chemical (d-mannose) that makes it hard for the infection to stick to the epithelial cells -- to knock out an active UTI the Mayo clinic said (see your doctor) but 1000 mg. twice daily (that's double the recommended dose of these) for the first three days then regular dosage for another week. Well I'm going double dosage the whole ten days but it IS working. I didn't really expect it to, but I'm thrilled not to be shelling out a couple hundred bucks for an office visit, tests, and prescription. Weirdly, they say not to be too hydrated while taking this, if it's too diluted the d-mannose doesn't work. So I'm staying moderately hydrated, and it's working beautifully.

If you have had multiple UTI’s before, you already know that taking antibiotics is bad for you and ineffective. You also know that having great hygiene doesn’t mean you’re free and clear either. I take 2-3 baths/showers a day and have always struggled with getting UTI’s or being on the cusp of having one. I’ve heard that you can be more prone depending on the placement of your lady parts. Taking 3 of these a day, in addition to being super clean and drinking plenty of water has prevented me from getting a UTI for the last year or more. It seems excessive and expensive to take 3 a day, but honestly it’s worth not getting them! I also keep a bottle of Cystex Cranberry (NOT the pills; only the drink!) at home at all times to drink if I feel the slightest tinge of one. But again I haven’t had to use that at all for a long time! I have tried other D-Mannose but these seem to be the strongest and best value. Try 3 a day consistently for prevention!

Wow! So glad I listened to the reviews saved me a dang trip to the doctor and it helped with my bladder being irritated and on the verge of infection. I was once told my an amazing provider to take cranberry pills with D-mannose that it would help prevent any future UTI’s and save me from trips to the wall in clinics. They sure weren’t wrong! I’m someone who unfortunately suffers from multiple UTI’s in my life, and have a condition called interstitial cystitis. Basically have bladder pains that minimic and feel like I’m having a UTI but do not Necessarily have one, this product is great! Disclaimer: IF your symptoms of bladder pain have not gone away in 3-5 days PLEASE go and see your provider, most likely this means you do have a proper infection and ONLY anti-biotics will help at that point. Never wait for blood in urine, or back pain!

Upon some extensive internet research, I decided upon trying this product. Much good has been said about it. Couldn't hurt, may help... all those healed people on the internet say it helps and heals. I did not have a bad experience. They did not cause any problems. I don't know if they helped necessarily, but it didn't hurt to try. Quality product and good packaging.
