Now Foods, D-Mannose Powder, 3 oz (85 g)

Life saver for those with UTI and this must be combined with wardier cranberry juice without sugar for best results.

Excellent. Using this brand since a long time. Started with treating my cat. Excellent for humans too!

Excellent

This works and I’m so grateful. I scoured the reviews for how to use it, lots of advice there. This stuff should be in everyone’s medicine drawer! And it’s natural, no side effects. Can’t believe my urologist didn’t mention this. But for sure I’ll be telling him about it!

This product works for treatment of chronic urinary tract infection. It helped in controlling the UTI infection for my dad who is bed ridden due to hemiplegia. Also the sugar does not increase the blood sugar in the body. But it has to be taken in moderation of 1 teaspoon twice or thrice a day or else it may damage kidneys.

It's very effective product providing quick relief from UTI.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS! I had my doubts after years of UTI'S and antibiotic therapy. Good bye antibiotics!! When u start feeling the burning and frequency of an infection, start taking this as directed w lots of water. Keep going at least one day after symptoms subside which is usually in one day! The e.coli bacteria actually sticks to the sugar in the bladder instead of the cell walls of the bladder...and washes out with good water intake. Safe for diabetics. A GOD SEND!!!!!

This is one of my must have supplements. It helps every time I have an urinary infection. I take a spoonful of it in four ounces of water followed by lot of water after half an hour. I have it every three to four hours on the first day and then reduce the dosage depending upon easing of symptoms.

I have suffered from chronic UTI's since i was 2 years old... yes... 2 years old!!!! I had a seziure at that age caused by a high feaver from a urinary tract infection that progressed to my kidneys. Scared the heck out of my poor mom. I had to have surgery. Fast forward a few years and I kept having UTIs, not a ton but still some, fast forward to elementry school and they came in full force, middle school and highschool ... and college. I was having a UTI... EVERY ... SINGLE... MONTH!!!! I was missing so much school from being in crippling pain, i could hardly walk. My life was miserable. I had a specialized urologist (urinary doctor) who kept giving me different types of UTI meds that made me nauseous all the time, then i had to take yeast infection meds because it caused yeast infections. Also, the UTI always came back in full force. She put me on a low dose of daily antibiotics hoping that would help, it helped a little but they still came back and the meds made me get yeast infections I tried changing my diet, it helped a little with bladder pain, but not as much as i hoped. D-MANNOSE CHANGED MY LIFE, no joke. If you suffer from UTIs you will find great relief from this super sugar. Ive been using this for 8 years or so and if you have a UTI itll clear up in a day!! I was shocked the first time i took it, even medications dont work that fast!!! I actually taught my frustrated urologist about dmannose. She had so many patients she wanted to help who were at their wits end. She saw it worked so well for me, so she started recommending it to her patients with great success! Normally ecoil (#1 bacteria that causes UTIs) attaches to the urinary tract and hooks on real tight. Water cant flush it out since it has a good grip on your urinary tract. This is where dmannose comes in, it loosens the grip of the bacteria and it attaches to the dmannose. Now the ecoli is free flowing and can be easily flushed out. Thats how this simple sugar works. D-Mannose is a monosaccharide, a simple sugar but unlike glucose your body absorbs D-Mannose eight times slower. Because it is hard for our bodies to absorb D-Mannose, it passes straight to the blood stream, then through the kidneys into the bladder. Your body does not metabolize D-Mannose like other sugars, and that’s why D-Mannose powder does not affect the blood sugar levels, and therefore is safe for the diabetics and does not cause weight gain. D-Mannose does not kill the bacteria and therefore does not increase it’s resistance. It just flushes it out. Dont waste your money with the pill form as this powder tastes like nothing (just a little sweet) and just stirs easy into water. You dont notice it at all. Take some if you feel a urinary Tract infection coming on, itll stop it right in its tract!!! ;) Better than antibiotics from my experience!! Try it out yourself!

Very good

D-mannose has been a staple in our home for years. It’s a great product for the urinary tract and highly effective. It’s got a sweet taste, if you mix it in water it’s similar to sugar water, I usually mix it into a smoothie with the rest of my daily supplements. NOW’s quality is unmatched. D-Mannose can get a little clumpy over time so just be wary that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the product, the powder just does that.

Great product, but messy bottle

I originally came across the Now Brand for myself due to it having a great safety record compared to other known vitamin/supplement brands. I mainly bought this Dmannose on the recommendation of my cat’s vet to be used to help with her UTI she had about a year ago. And oh my, after only a couple days use, her symptoms cleared. Gave her 90 days worth as recommended (maybe 1/16th a tsp since it’s a cat) and then stopped. Now she only gets it as needed or if symptoms seem to pop up, with a 20-30 day break so my girl does not become accustomed. Also have used it myself a few times, as I am prone to mild urinary issues during the beginning of my cycle. It dissolves well into cold liquids (I do very watered down apple juice 1:4 ratio, maybe 1:5), only 1/2 to 1 tsp commonly works enough for me once to twice daily until my cycle ends.
