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 main...

Everyone should be aware that D-mannose is a sugar. Every bacteria in your gut will want to get its hands on it and chow down, potentially causing overgrowth and massive gas production. Even though it can be effective for eliminating E. Coli, also be aware that other bacteria can give UTIs that this will have no effect on. Antibiotics can sometimes be necessary. A kidney infection can kill you...

I had a UTI, cloudy urine, frequent urination, pressure, strong smell, and did not want to take antibiotcs. This was only the second time I have had this and I knew it what it was immediately. I started researching alternative cures online and then went to a few vitamin/ remedy stores. I saw the D-Mannese in liquid, capsule and powder forms. After consulting a few people in the stores, I decided on the powder. I started taking it around noon and repeated the doseage as required, every two to three hours. I felt completely normal by the time I went to bed that night. The sure sign would be when I got up either in the middle of the night or in the morning. I expected to have to urinate during the night because of the UTI, but I slept through and when I did wake up, my urine was not cloudy, it didn't smell, and there was absolutely NO feeling of pressure. It is 1pm the next day and I am amazed that I feel as though nothing was ever wrong. I've taken the powder twice today just as a precaution, and I'll probably take it a couple more times just to be sure. This stuff is amazing. I highly recommend it!!Read More Read Less

I have been taking this supplement for 2 months now and have not had a urinary tract infection, yet. Cranberry juice alone was not doing anything for me, so I decided to try this treatment. I still drink sugarless cranberry juice along with the supplement and hope this will continue to help. Please take this supplement with food.

I had re-occuring UTIs for a year. Antibiotics weren't working well anymore. Went to uroligist. He checked to make sure my bladder was emptying, then sent me to Dr. who told me about D-mannose. I haven't had a UTI for three years. I take a tsp powder with water every day and it has made all the difference for me.

Does this use cause incontinence or frequency?

I first came across this treatment in Europe. Antibitoics are not a realistic option on an ongoing basis as a female - destruction of other good bacteria, depressed immune system, yeast infections. this works - IF YOU FOLLOW THE REGIME - if you don't the bacteria will recurr. I only this now.

Tried after several rounds of antibiotics. Worked immediately. I take it as a preventative measure. Only side effect is bloating... it is difficult for me to digest. Much prefer this treatment to antibiotics!

I have been taking D-Mannose every time I have a UTI. Each time I use D-Mannose my UTI clears up within 2 days. No side-effects and 100% effective.

I suffered a UTI last summer that was pretty awful. My mother bought be a bottle of D-Mannose Powder by NOW Foods for me to try out. I do NOT use it daily. Twice over the past year I have started feeling the familiar symptoms of a UTI. I took a spoonful or two of this stuff mixed with water for a day or two each time, and symptoms COMPLETELY vanished! I stand behind this stuff 100%!

I WAS suffering with ongoing UTI's for 3 years straight. I used many other treatments but none seemed to work. I have been using D-mannose for a little over a year and I have had no UTI's since I started the routine. I take 500mg once a day with food and have increased my intake of water. I also have no side effects to report. As of today I recommend!

I had been getting antibiotic-resistant UTIs and kidney infections for the past five years, and it was getting worse and worse. As soon as I started taking d-mannose (it's actually called waterfall d-mannose) the cystitis disappeared, and it has not returned. But I do take a spoonful of the waterfall mannose every day as a prophylactic.
