D-mannose news information:
D-mannose is a kind of sugar that is related to glucose. It’s found in many fruits, and also occurs naturally in the human body.
D-mannose might help treat a deficiency caused by a genetic defect. D-mannose might also prevent certain kinds of bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and causing infection.
D-mannose is used for an inherited disorder called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b. It is also used for UTIs, but there is no good scientific evidence to support this use.
Health Benefits of D-mannose
1.Helps Treat CDGS Type 1b
D-mannose can help treat a rare genetic disorder called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b because people with this condition don’t produce enough, or any, mannose naturally.
2.May Help Prevent Urinary Tract Infections
Over 50% of adult women will get a UTI in their lifetime, making UTIs the most common type of outpatient infection.
The infection is typically treated with antibiotics, but researchers are interested in D-mannose as an alternative treatment that won’t promote the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
3.May Promote Gut Health
D-mannose may also act as a prebiotic—a dietary fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut.8 Bacteria in the large intestine ferment (break down) prebiotics, helping good bacteria thrive, producing beneficial short-chain fatty acids, improving the integrity of your gut lining, and boosting immune health.
