11/14/2023

D-Mannose is a naturally occurring sugar that has been making waves in the wellness world — and there's some genuinely interesting research behind it. If you've ever dealt with urinary discomfort, this one's worth understanding. Check out the latest science...

This was a comprehensive review of all the other scientific studies on D-Mannose — wide ranging, and including results from over 600 women. The findings were interesting:

  • D-mannose was associated with supporting urinary tract well-being in study participants
  • Some study participants reported greater time between episodes of urinary discomfort
  • Participants with a history of urinary discomfort reported improved comfort and well-being in daily life

D-mannose is a kind of sugar related to glucose. It's found in many fruits, and also occurs naturally in the human body. Researchers have studied how d-mannose interacts with the urinary tract environment at a cellular level — specifically, how it may support the natural balance of the urinary tract and help it stay comfortable. In addition, d-mannose occurs naturally in some cells in the human body and is thought to be a prebiotic, because consumption of d-mannose stimulates and fosters the growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract — double win!

You can buy D-Mannose supplements, and it can be found in foods like apples, oranges, and peaches, as well as blueberries and cranberries. Vegetables, including green beans, cabbage, and broccoli, are also a common source.
