Now Foods D-mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar that your body utilizes to help cleanse the urinary tract and maintain a healthy bladder lining. It™s metabolized only in small amounts, with excess amounts rapidly excreted in urine, so it won™t interfere with healthy blood sugar regulation. Clinical studies have demonstrated that, when taken regularly, D-mannose promotes normal urinary tract function by cleansing and maintaining the health of the bladder lining.
Technically known as D-mannose, this is a simple, six-carbon sugar. Mannose naturally occurs as a monosaccharide, or a simple sugar, in fruits such as blueberries and cranberries, as well as in other plants and fungi. NOW® Pure D-Mannose has a caloric value of four calories per gram, which is similar to other sugars. Mannose exists in two forms, alpha and beta. The alpha form is mild and sweet, while the beta form is bitter. The natural manufacturing methods for mannose result in a mixture of these two forms, yielding a product that is mildly sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste.

D-Mannose Pure Powder provides pure D-mannose with no added herbal blend. D-mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar that is best known for urinary tract support. It is commonly used because it can bind to certain strains of E. coli in the urinary tract, which may help stop the bacteria sticking to the bladder wall.
The main advantage of the powder is flexibility. You can measure the amount you want rather than working around a fixed capsule strength. If you already know you want D-mannose specifically, D-Mannose Pure Powder keeps things simple by giving you the ingredient on its own and nothing that distracts from the main use.
What does D-Mannose Pure Powder contain? It contains pure D-mannose, with 2 g per level teaspoon.
What is D-mannose commonly used for? D-mannose is commonly used for urinary tract support, especially when the goal is to discourage certain bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract lining.
Why would I choose the powder instead of capsules? Powder is useful when you want flexible serving sizes or prefer to mix D-mannose into water rather than swallowing several capsules.
