About 80% of all women suffer from a urinary tract infection or a bladder infection (cystitis) at least once in their life. Many women even suffer from it several times a year.
The symptoms of a urinary tract infection can be mild or very severe. They range from burning when urinating, frequent urination, reddish cloudy, unpleasant-smelling urine to pain in the lower abdomen.
90% of all urinary tract infections are caused by the bacterium E. coli (Escherichia coli). E.coli occurs naturally in the human intestine and is necessary for normal intestinal activity. However, it does cause infections when it gets into the urinary tract, which is 50 times more common in women and girls than in men.
The cell walls of the E. coli bacteria have the smallest molecular 'fingers', which fit exactly into the mannose receptors of the urinary tract. They hold on to them like velcro and cause the typical symptoms of a urinary tract infection.
However, if mannose is taken as a dietary supplement, it acts as the other half of the velcro strip and the E. coli bacteria attach to the mannose molecules. When urinating, they are then flushed out of the body together with mannose.
The E.coli bacteria are not destroyed by mannose but simply transported out of the urinary tract. This unique property has an effect on 90% of urinary tract infections caused by E. coli.
- helps with more than 90% of all urinary tract infections, especially those caused by E. coli
- is also suitable for long-term use and for prevention
- supports bladder and urinary tract health
- does not destroy the 'good' bacteria in the body
- does not favor the development of fungal infections
- has no effect on blood sugar
- is 10 to 50 times more effective than cranberries
Natural D-Mannose works in 90% of all urinary tract infections and this without any side effects.
If, despite taking mannose, there is no significant improvement within 24 hours, this is a sure sign that the inflammation was not caused by E. coli bacteria, but by a different pathogen or that it has a different cause. In this case, a doctor should be consulted for clarification.
Mannose begins to flush out the harmful E. coli bacteria from the urinary tract after the first intake. Due to this immediate effect, the burning sensation when urinating and the frequent urge to urinate quickly decreases.
It sounds a bit unbelievable, but Natural D-Mannose can be used by anyone with no side effects. It is 100% natural and safe and can also be used by pregnant women, nursing mothers or children (in a correspondingly lower dosage though). Mannose can also be used for animals.
Yes, D-Mannose can be taken together with antibiotics, since neither of them affects or interferes with the other. In this case, the antibiotics would kill the pathogenic bacteria, while D-Mannose naturally flushes them out of the urinary tract, since the bacteria prefer to attach to the mannose rather than to the wall of the urinary tract.
After stopping the antibiotics, D-Mannose should continue to be used for a few days to ensure that all bacteria have been flushed out of the urinary tract.
Since mannose is metabolized eight times slower than normal glucose in the body, it does not lead to an increase in blood sugar and therefore has no influence on the insulin secretion of the pancreas.
Mannose can therefore also be taken by diabetics. In the beginning, blood sugar should be checked.
D-Mannose is a simple sugar that is not metabolized by humans. D-Mannose itself does not contain fructose and can therefore also be taken if you have fructose intolerance.
Mannose is suitable for long-term use. It is usually not necessary to take mannose continuously once the symptoms have gone. However, people who constantly suffer from urinary tract infections can prevent them by taking a level teaspoon once or twice a day.
However, those affected also report that a single dose per week is sufficient and they only increase the dosage when they feel the first symptoms of inflammation again. So if you are familiar with the effects of mannose, you instinctively develop a feeling for the amount you need to stay symptom-free.
Cranberry juice or capsules are also a popular cystitis remedy but contain only small amounts of mannose. Therefore, one would have to drink the juice by the liter to have an effect. Mannose, on the other hand, can be taken neat or only dissolved in some liquid.
The biggest difference, however, is that mannose has an effect from the first dose and quickly eliminates the uncomfortable burning of the urethra. Experience shows that mannose works even in very stubborn cases where cranberry products have little effect.
Drinking sugared cranberry juice should be avoided during a urinary tract infection since the acidic environment and the fructose promote infection. If you decide to use cranberries, you should definitely take cranberry capsules.
