User Reviews for d-mannose

It's so sad MDs don't know a thing about this product. Reliance on antibiotics is all that's prescribed. Cranberry juice is too acidic and counter productive, even in concentrate form without sugar. This product, with just 2 doses x's 2 days showed its effectiveness in the void (clearer urine). A third day at 2 x's a day, for a total of 3 days, 2 x's a day should suffice to go onto preventive maintenance of once every-other-day and then moving towards twice a week and ultimately to once a week, I think. I recommend the powder form!Read More Read Less

First, I'm a Laboratory Technologist. I'm the one running tests in the lab and reporting it to the doctors. I'm a person of science, not necessarily a person believing in miracles. That being said, I performed my own experiment. I've noticed for quite some time that my urine contained moderate to many bacteria on a regular basis, moderate to many epithelial cells (not indicative of any major irregularities), moderate white blood cells (increased results are usually due to fighting off infection), and few red blood cells (not uncommon). I looked at my urine under the microscope prior to taking the medication and saw exactly what I just mentioned. Today I took 3 D-Mannose pills before bed and another 2 pills before going to work and checked my urine under the microscope again. MY BACTERIA COUNT IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT IT WAS YESTERDAY!!! Needless to say I'm happily surprised! I'll continue to check my urine in the next days to see if it progresses further. So far very happy with such rapid results! I used Sweet Cure's Waterfall D-Mannose, it was shipped from the UK and took a while to receive but read many good reviews before purchasing it. I'm in no way affiliated with the brand, just a very happy customer so far.Read More Read Less

I suffer from a rare condition called Transverse Mylytis which effectively results in a spinal cord injury. As this prevents me from completely emptying my bladder I have for the last five years suffered with continual uti. I spent two weeks out of every month on antibiotics, this was all the doctor could offer me. I did my own research and found D mannose. What an absolutely amazing supplement!! I can honestly say it has changed my life. I take three tablets a day and it has now been six months since I have had a uti. After five years this cannot be a coincidence. My urologist agreed that he had also heard of the effectiveness of this supplement but it is not available on prescription. It is only effective against ecoli.bacteria and quite expensive but if like me you are desperate for a product that works, do your own research and give it a go. I am so glad that I did.Read More Read Less

Stop having UTI since I’ve been taken D-Mannose 2 months ago.

Suffered from recurrent UTIs for years that were becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Found d-mannose information online, tried it, and it changed my life. Take half a teaspoon daily as a preventative, more if I have UTI symptoms. Went from 6 plus infections per year to one infection in the last six years (and that happened when I failed to take it). This works for e-coli infections! Too bad MDs don't recommend it, my doc had never heard of it. Suspect selling designer antibiotics is much more lucrative than selling sugar so no one funds research.Read More Read Less

I had bladder cancer so now have a neo bladder. I suffered infections every month and was constantly on antibiotics. My consultant recommended D mannose to try, I have been on them 4 months and not one infection, to me they are like a miracle.

Great for prevention. Sometimes upsets my stomach. I take 2 tablets twice a day.

Iâ??ve had chronic UTIs for almost a year now, constant terrible pain and antibiotics from the doctor didnâ??t work for long. I bought the powder form of d mannose about a week ago now and since the first dose, Iâ??ve had absolutely no pain! I started out with two packets a day and have brought it down to just one now. It truly feels like a miracle, I wish everyone who struggles with UTIs could know about this product.

I researched and started using D-Mannose after suffering two particularly bad UTIs back-to-back. That was two years ago, and I’ve avoided UTIs since. I often take 1000 mg per day in one or two doses as maintenance. Take it with a glass of water, then wait a bit before drinking more. Give it a chance to sit in your bladder and bind to any bacteria before washing it out via drinking lots of water. If I feel a twinge of a UTI coming on, I might take an additional 1000 mg. It can cause loose stool at higher doses. I use the NOW brand D-Mannose 500 mg capsules I’m not on any prescription medications. I use a small use of full-spectrum CBD oil sublingually every day.

D mannose has changed my life. I have been suffering from excruciating and recurrent UTIs and have been waiting for months to be seen by a specialist. I have taken over 10 courses of antibiotics this year alone and UTIs have significantly affected my quality of life. I was suggested D-mannose by one of the doctors I have been able to see who had said that it had worked for some of his patients. Since, I take 2,000mg a day and haven't had a uti in around 50 days. Sometimes I forget to take it and I can feel those nagging underlying symptoms coming back but a few hours after I take some more those symptoms go away. It honestly has changed my life. No medication has seemed to soothe my UTIs and the discomfort associated with them(ex: cranberry pills, juice, cystitis dissolvable solution, oils etc) but now I feel so much more in charge of my life and don't have to live with the anxiety of being in pain. I think my situation is complicated because I likely have a biofilm(s) in my bladder that the D mannose cannot rid (while it can rid free floating and less complicated infections), but while I wait for my appointment with the urologist D mannose allows me to live my life by managing my symptoms and and make sure the UTIs dont flare up or get 'out of control' (kidney infection etc).Read More Read Less

I had a very frightening reaction to an Antibiotic the doctor prescribed to me before and I stopped taking them after only 4tablets. Obviously the infection was still there so I went back to the doctor. She just wanted to give me another kind of AB but I said Iâ??d like to try cranberry supplements first. She didnâ??t seem to care and just wrote one down she thought was good, but reminded me to come and pick up the new AB prescription the next day after lab results came back. So I went to the pharmacy and the assistants there looked at each other and shook their heads. Cranberry Supplements don,t work for acute uti,s it has been tested. They recommended d-mannose , which was also $20 cheaper than the cranberry supplement. I have been taken 1 tablet 3 times a day for the last 2 weeks and have seen a 95 % improvement. Iâ??m confident that my uti will totally clear by the end of the week since I can only feel it a little now and the urine is clear. Will definitely take it on a daylong basis now for maintenance.

Have had three bladder augmentation surgeries and as a male, have suffered from continual UTI's. The drugs, in the short term worked, but actually made the condition worse and created candida. My physician (Functional) suggested this supplement and the effects are astounding. My urine no longer burns and my flow are increased and easier. When I don't take it I truly notice the difference.

Did not want to take an antibiotic (due to the fact it messes up my flora every time I take an antibiotic)and had a UTI, so researched alternatives. Found D-Mannose, very impressed!

I have recurring UTIâ??s my urologist recommended D mannose. I was taking it daily 1/4 tsp as a preventative for the past 3 months. I also drink a lot of water daily. I noticed pain in my right kidney and stopped taking it the pain subsided once I stopped taking it now a week after I stopped I woke this morning with UTI symptoms. I donâ??t want to damage my kidneys further so Iâ??m stuck heading to the doctor for antibiotics now

I have struggled with reoccurring UTIâ??s for as long as I can remember. I always follow the drâ??s recommendations â??wipe front to back. Donâ??t drink alcohol or anything acidic .. etc â?? and itâ??s always something Iâ??ve struggled with ! After reading about this product online I decided to give it a shot. Taking Uristat helped but I always ended up with yellow stains on my panties and it always made my stomach hurt. I took D mannose 2x a week for 5 days straight and for three weeks I didnâ??t have any uti symptoms what so ever ! I now take 3 once every other day and I feel better than ever ! Read More Read Less

I cannot say more about how amazing D Mannose is. I have frequent UTI 4-5 times a year at least and this product is the only thing that works for me. When I get that burning frequent sensation I take an AZO (just for the first few hours) and then 1500 mg of D Mannose twice a day for 3 days and then 1500 once a day for 7 days works for me. I pair D Mannose with Garlic vitamin, zinc, vitamin C and drink a lot of water and coconut water. Since I discovered D Mannose I have not gone back to a doctor when I have gotten UTI's for about a whole year. This stuff is the only thing that works for me. I highly recommend you try it.

Haven't had a uti since taking this supplement after hearing about it on the Dr. Oz show. Had been getting uti about every two months before taking.

Caused horrendous bloading and gas and massively aggrivated candida problems. A horrible experience.

After an adult life full of recurrent UTI’s, many many trips to Emerg/doctor’s, and more sulpha drugs and cystoscopies than I care to remember, D-Mannose has been a miracle. My sister recommended and I haven’t had a UTI since trying it (5 years ago). If I feel a “twinge”, I take a teaspoon in water and nothing ever develops. A miracle. So sad medical profession isn’t more open to these more naturapathic remedies.

My mom is in a nursing home and was getting UTI's every few weeks. We saw specialist and even took a low dose of antibiotics to try and prevent them. She had a severe UTI in June. Someone suggested D-Mannose to me and we tried it. It has been 6 months now and she has not had an UTI. It is amazing. Strong believer in this supplement and I have recommended to several people.
