Supplements, D-Mannose 500 mg, Non-GMO Project Verified, Healthy Urinary Tract*, 120 Veg Capsules

I’ve been using D-Mannose for over a year to help prevent recurrent UTIs, and it’s made a noticeable difference in keeping them at bay. I recently switched to the NOW Foods brand a few weeks ago, and I’m very pleased with the quality so far. The capsules are easy to take, and I appreciate that NOW Foods is a reputable company known for purity and consistency in their supplements. Even though I’ve only been using this brand for a short time, it seems to be just as effective as the previous one I relied on. I haven’t had any discomfort or infections since making the switch. The bottle offers a good value for the price, and I feel confident continuing with this product as part of my daily routine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a natural and reliable way to support urinary tract health.

During two different trips to India I got UTIs. Thankfully I was in a hotel that could call a doctor to prescribe proper antibiotics. But the embarrassment, pain, and stress of dealing with a UTI in India was a nightmare to deal with. So before yet another month-long trip to India, I started doing some reading and found positive results with D-Mannose. I decided to order some and give it a try. (I figured I already had antibiotics, so if the D-Mannose didn't knock out the UTI, I'd still be able to take the Cipro.) When you get sick in India, you're never sure where it came from, but you can at least narrow it down to a few different things that may have caused it. In my case it was either the 15 hour flight between the states and India, the long (8 hours+) day-trips with no bathroom break, and/or possibly the water I was drinking contained trace amounts of E. Coli. So I began taking D-Mannose as a preventative measure before our flights to India or anytime I knew I'd be going for a long time without access to a proper restroom. That was over a year ago and my husband and I now live in India. I haven't had an actual UTI since using D-Mannose. Even with our reverse osmosis system, the water quality here is terrible. We even purchased a Berkey water filtration system to help purify our drinking water further. It helps, but at the end of the day you can't control when or where you'll find a bathroom. Recently we drove to visit another city and I wasn't able to use the restroom for 9 hours. NINE HOURS. I was pretty much guaranteed to get a UTI. And sure enough, I started getting that all-too-familiar burning, aching pain in my bladder and below. Right away I started taking D-Mannose, a TrueNature Cranberry supplement, Cystex (for the pain) and no UTI. I *never* travel without D-Mannose. I have both the capsules and the powder - both work great, but I have found it's easier for me to take the pills when I'm on-the-go. Without hesitation, I would recommend this to any woman (or man) who suffers from "traveler's UTI". I can actually go on long trips again without worrying about getting bladder infections because I can take D-Mannose as a preventative measure, and the fact I don't have to keep pumping my body full of antibiotics makes this supplement a life-saver. This stuff is amazing. It's like UTI-be-gone. (Side-note: In addition to taking D-Mannose, Cranberry Supplements and Cystex, I also try to cut back on my sugars and caffeine. So if you notice you keep getting UTIs, try to cut back on your sugar and caffeine intake. The week before I know I'll be going on a long trip, I usually won't drink coffee and I cut back on my sweets. It's another small but helpful way to help with a bladder infection when you're taking D-Mannose or antibiotics). ***** Update 07/14/2016: It's been four years since I posted this review and I wanted to add that as a result of the antibiotics I had taken in the past for UTI's I basically destroyed my gut bacteria and I ended up needing upper and lower scopes done. I was put on a restricted diet and suffered horrible depression, anxiety and insomnia (leaky gut, serotonin and various vitamin deficiencies). I am now taking lots of probiotics (which are also very important for urinary health too folks!) and working on healing my gut, but I am very wary of taking any antibiotic unless I absolutely have to, so D-Mannose has become a very important staple in my medicine cabinet. Since I last wrote this review, I've only had ONE UTI that ended up requiring antibiotics. This most recent time I was traveling again and wound up with quite possibly one of the worst bladder infections I've ever had and not surprisingly the antibiotics didn't quite knock it out. After completing the antibiotics I was still experiencing a lot of pain/pressure/aching in my lower back and bladder, my urine still smelled terrible and was cloudy, and it still felt like I was peeing razor blades. The only noticeable change was that I was no longer urinating blood, but all of my other symptoms were still there. I know that antibiotics take a little bit of time to kick-in, trust me, I've taken my fair share of them. But I also know my body and know when they are NOT working. As soon as I got home I took 1000mg of cranberry extract and I just loaded up my water with D-Mannose powder then gulped it all down all at once a few times a day for the next several days (I was told taking a bunch all at once is more effective then spreading it out over the course of the day, but not to do it long-term as Cranberry Extract can cause kidney stones to develop). I was literally *this close* to calling the doctor back up and going back in for another urine analysis. But after taking the Cranberry and D-Mannose my symptoms all finally cleared. I continued to take the Cranberry and D-Mannose for about a week following the antibiotics just for good measure. On another note, I have also used this for my greyhound when she developed a minor UTI a couple years ago (vet tested and confirmed) and it cleared it up for her as well. So it seems this works for pets too!

This is an amazing product. My mom who is elderly, has been suffering with UTIs for quite a while. They seem to come every couple of months, but once she started with this product, she has not had one not one her tests come back clear. We are so excited about this. She’s been taking it now for Probably a year and there has been no UTIs …….yay for her.

I use this D mannose powder to support bladder health in my cats, especially those in rescue or foster care. Each capsule is 500 milligrams, which is exactly what I look for. The naturopath I follow on Veterinary Secrets recommends 500 milligrams for every ten pounds of body weight. If I have a cat that is just under ten pounds, I give the full capsule. If it is a smaller cat that is around half that weight and dealing with a urinary concern like a UTI or cystitis, then I cut the dosage in half. I open the capsule, spread the powder into a thin line with a card, and divide it into two equal portions. I mix the powder into their food and they do not seem to mind it. For picky eaters, I stir it into a soft treat like a churu and that works well. D mannose helps maintain urinary health by keeping certain bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls. The bacteria attach to the D mannose instead and get flushed out through normal urination. I only use this for my cats and my fosters, and myself when i need it

Has significantly lessened the amount of UTIs I get.. as long as I take it most of the time after close time with my husband or even if I feel some symptoms coming on I’ll take three and drink a lot of water it takes care of it. I should probably be more consistent with it just to make sure everything is 100% clear, but yeah, it really works!

まだ、2週間ぐらいしか、使用してませんが効果を感じてます。 膀胱炎でお悩みの方は、試す価値ありだと思います。

I have a chronic pain that I assume from UTI after eating salty foods, and I just wanted to give this a try if this will work. It sounds too good to be true but after taking in two days (3 capsules daily), the pain went away. But this is the only supplement I took. I don’t know if its my immunity or this capsule, but it is worth the try!

Easy to swallow capsules. I was recommended these tablets by my urologist for uti’s and had trouble sourcing them locally in Australia, ordering them from my local health food shop can take a month to come in. These were shipped from the US to my door in a week. Very happy

Had a mild UTI... Can't take any more antibiotics. Used it and the problem lessened over a few days and has resolved as far as symptoms. So I'd say it works. Will know next time if I need it again if it works every time. I don't take it every day. Intend to use at first hint of symptoms. It's worth the try for sure versus antibiotic overuse. No side effects observed. Hope it is the answer to my prayers in the future!
