What Is d-mannose Powder Used For？

D-Mannose is a sugar related to glucose.

D-mannose is used to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and to treat carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, an inherited metabolic disorder.

What is D-Mannose?

D-Mannose is a sugar related to the well known glucose. These sugars are monosaccharides. That is, they consist of only one sugar molecule. Again, both are naturally present in your body and are also present in some plants in the form of starch.

Several fruits and vegetables contain D-mannose, including

Cranberries (and cranberry juice)

Apples

Oranges

Peaches

Broccoli

Green beans

This sugar is also found in some nutritional supplements, available in capsule or powder form. Some contain D-mannose by itself, while others contain other ingredients, such as

Cranberry

Dandelion extract

Hibiscus esculentus

Rose hips

Probiotics

How does it work?

D-mannose may treat defects caused by genetic defects that lead to abnormal breakdown and production of mannose. d-mannose may prevent certain bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and causing infections.

Usage and validity

May be useful for

A genetic disorder called type 1b carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome. Oral d-mannose may improve digestive problems, hypoglycemia, and clotting disorders in people with this disorder. It is not clear if it helps prevent liver problems.

There is interest in using d-mannose for many other purposes, but there is not enough reliable information to say whether it is useful.

Side effects

Xylitol powder is a sugar alcohol sweetener used as a naturally occurring sugar substitute. Xylitol is found in the fibres of many fruits and vegetables, including various berries, corn husks, oats and mushrooms.

We extract xylitol from non-GMO maize kernels. Xylitol is about as sweet as sucrose and has only two-thirds the energy of food.

As with most sugar alcohols, initial consumption can cause bloating, diarrhoea and flatulence, although usually much less than other sugar alcohols such as sorbitol.

Xylitol has the same sweetness as sucrose. When it dissolves in water, it absorbs a large amount of heat. It has the highest endothermic value of all sugar alcohol sweeteners.

when it is consumed in solid form, it has a pleasant cooling sensation in the mouth. Xylitol does not cause phlegm and has an anti-cavity effect. The metabolism is not regulated by insulin and is completely metabolised in the body.

With a calorific value of 16.72 kJ/g, it can be used as a source of caloric energy for diabetics.

Organic xylitol is used to make surfactants, emulsifiers, emulsion breakers, various resins and alkyd paints and varnishes. Synthetic fatty acids and the volatile esters formed are not plasticisers.

Xylitol is not subject to yeast fermentation and is an unfavourable medium for microorganisms. Foods containing xylitol can extend their own shelf life.

It is used as a wetting regulator in cosmetics and has no irritating effect on human skin.

Xylitol is beneficial in the preparation of softer snacks that retain their softness longer than sucrose, extending the shelf life of foods such as cakes and breads.

Crystalline D-Mannose

D-Mannose is a naturally occurring hexose prevalent in many plants. Healtang's product is distilled from natural non-GMO raw materials using Healtang’s proprietary technology.

Special Precautions and Warnings

When taken orally: D-mannose is probably safe for most adults to take for up to 6 months. It can cause diarrhea and nausea. There is not enough reliable information to know if d-mannose is safe or what side effects may occur if taken for more than 6 months. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is not enough reliable information to know if d-mannose is safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. Stay safe and avoid use.

Children: D-mannose may be safe when given orally in children with a genetic disorder called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b. It can cause diarrhea, loose stools, bloating, and nausea in these children. There is not enough reliable information to know if d-mannose is safe to use in children without this condition.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Little is known about the use of d-mannose during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stay safe and avoid its use.

Diabetes: Some studies suggest that d-mannose may make blood sugar control more difficult in people with diabetes.

Dosing

There is not enough reliable information to know what the appropriate dose of d-mannose might be. Remember that natural products may not always be safe and that dose may be important. Always follow the relevant instructions on the product label and consult a healthcare professional before use.
