D-Mannose is a natural form of sugar found in small amounts in various plants and fruits, including the cranberry. Many people know cranberry juice as a traditional remedy for their urinary tract. Did you know that D-Mannose is one of the active ingredients in cranberries? In this blog you can read all about D-Mannose, what it is found in and how you can use it as a supplement.
What is D-Mannose?
D-Mannose is a type of sugar, just like glucose, but your body hardly uses it as an energy source. Instead, it goes directly to your bladder and is excreted through the urine.
D-Mannose occurs naturally in certain foods such as:
-
Cranberries
-
Apples
-
Peaches
-
Berries
-
Aloe vera
-
Kale
Although you get a small amount of D-Mannose through food, it is often taken in concentrated form as a supplement.
What are D-Mannose capsules good for?
D-Mannose is often used by women in supplement form. The advantage is that one capsule contains a very high concentration of D-Mannose. One capsule is equivalent in quantity to more than 200 grams of cranberries.
The capsules in our range also contain vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant that contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. This makes the supplement a great addition to a healthy lifestyle.
When and how much to take D-Mannose?
The recommended dosage of D-Mannose capsules depends on your situation:
-
Preventive use: 1 capsule once or twice daily with a meal.
-
Acute use: For a D-mannose cure, order preferably 2 packs and take:
-
On day 1: 6 capsules every three hours
-
On day 2: 4 capsules every three hours
-
On days 3 and 4: 4 capsules every six hours
It is important to always drink enough water to properly support the body.
How long can you take D-Mannose?
D-Mannose capsules can be used both short-term and long-term. This is because D-Mannose does not cause resistance, unlike antibiotics. In addition, it does not affect the good bacteria in your intestines, stomach and liver, which is a big advantage. This makes D-Mannose safe to use for an extended period of time.
Summary
D-Mannose is a natural form of sugar found in small amounts in fruits such as cranberries. Supplements containing D-mannose are becoming increasingly popular, especially among women. In supplement form, D-Mannose offers a high concentration that is easy to take.
