New Roots D-Mannose powder 50 mg

New Roots D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is rapidly excreted in the urine. In the bladder, D-Mannose may adhere to undesirable foreign substances, preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder.

D-Mannose helps prevent the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) for women. Urinary tract infections are commonly caused when resident bacteria of the large intestine, such as Escherichia coli, migrate to the urethra, which can result with infection of the urethra, bladder, and kidneys in extreme cases. Women have shorter urethras, which increases their incidence of infection. D-Mannose is a simple, naturally occurring sugar that is not converted to glycogen in the liver; it enters the bloodstream directly, and upon exposure within the kidney and urinary tract, it prevents adhesion. New Roots Herbal’s D-Mannose is 100% pure.
