User Reviews for d-mannose

I have had Interstitial Cystitus(sp) for 9 years this month. I was told about this less then a week ago. I have been taking the 5 times a day dose of 3 capsules. I had almost an immediate result. I have had very little pain & if there is some it's time for my next does. Then usually within an hour it's gone. I still go kinda frequently but some times it's just habit. Label says 4 days/5 times a day & then i think once a day after that? I have ZERO side effects that i can see so far. I need to know if i can go longer at teh 5 times a day or should i start to reduce it to 4, then 3 & so on? Also, i'm sure it's cool along with the maintence, if I have pain I can take a dose. This is a miracle drug & i hope my system doesnt get used to it & stop working as I have other perscription drugs do. Read More Read Less

This is an incredibly effective way to treat a bladder infection. My daughter has had bladder infections for the past 5 years and has been using antibiotics to treat at least 5 times per year. She even had an operation to close the valve in the urethrea that we thought might be at the root of the problem. Started using D-Mannose and all symptoms have gone away. Must drink lots of water during treatment and stay away from sugary drinks such as pop and juice while taking it to avoid the bacteria from multiplying while being treated. Read More Read Less

I took this for urinary tract infections. It did not prevent them.

I am incredibly skeptical of mircle cures but I have to say I was blown away. I was on my third UTI in three months and didn't want to do any more antibiotic poees. I took high doses of the powderand withing a day and a half all symptoms gone! So happy to know this exsists. I should note I drank a lot of water and ate super healthy.

I was put on an antibiotic for the rest of my life! I have chronic cystitis that I can't control with cranberry or AZO standard. This is a miracle drug/herb. It works. I have had cystitis since I was around 10 years old. It changed my life.

64 yr. old male quadriplegic with 30+ year history of UTIs. When I became allergic to the antibiotics I tried mannose on the recommendation of a naturopathic doctor. I have taken the powder form every day now for over two years and it has virtually eliminated my UTI problems. I take two teaspoons of powder in water twice a day, adding an additional dose when I experience uti symptoms. I am not aware of any side effects.

I've had frequent UTIs for 15 years now. I've probably had over 30 in my life. I had to take an antiobiotic every time after having sex or I would get a UTI. Thank God I hear about D-mannose... I take 2 pills daily and I have not had a UTI since. It's really been life changing for me and I wish every female that has chronic UTIs like I did could hear about this (instead of the constant cycle of antibiotics that the doctors give you). The only side effect for me so far is that I have to pee much more than usual (I used to barely have to go and now I do all the time). I take the Solaray D-mannose pills with CranActiv.

Frequent Uti- Online research prompted me to try this before antibiotic. Symptoms were gone in 24 hours! I continued the large dosage for another 24 to be sure.

I am taking this now also it has helped me. I haven't had the pressure and need to go to bathroom every few min. I have noticed a tenderness in lower left side of tummy any one else had this. I am going leave it off for few days. I use the pills

I bought some of this yesterday at Whole Foods after suffering from the beginnings of a UTI for about two days. I did also have the experience of bloating and stomach pains that others described after taking two doses of this powder mixed in water. However, I took another dose this morning and am not having these extreme side effects. I am thinking that I probably just overdid it by taking two doses. It does seem to be helping a lot with the UTI symptoms. Hopefully, I will be completely cured within a few days. I really wanted to avoid taking antibiotics (I just finished up a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection about a week and a half ago). It looks like this product will help me avoid taking any more antibiotics which makes me really happy :)Read More Read Less

Thank you to everyone who took the time to review D-mannose.I was a bit skeptical but it has proved to be very effective, No more antibiotics...thank God.

I have been suffering for quite a while with recurrent uti ... Anyone who has had them know how much it stinks ! I was starting to get desperate and depressed no sonner did I complete my antibiotics was I again feeling sick . I had enough I started to research on line and this came up . D-mannose worked for me right away. I am so happy :) I would definitely recommend this to anyone suffering from a uti .

used several times, has worked with in hours I felt relief

My 11 year old daughter has suffered for 10 years with UTI's. She had surgery when she was 2, which corrected uretal reflux, but chronic infections continued. She got resistant at 3 y.o. to all antibiotics needed to treat her. we have been to countless Dr's, specialist, etc. I spoke with Mayo Clinic, they said everything had been done that could be done. No one knew why these infections persisted and continued. I came across D-Mannose on the computer and was skeptical it could work so well. After taking 4 days of antibiotics, with no results, a few months ago, I started her on 1tsp d-mannose in water every waking hour. She felt MUCH better within 24 hrs, and 4 days later, she felt 100%. We took another urine sample in and yep, infection was totally gone. Unbelievable!!! She has been taking 1/2 tsp in water every morning for past few months and has literally never felt so good in all her life!!!! Read More Read Less

I have been battling urinary tract infections my whole life. But this year has been terrible. I have been diagnosed with a super bug E-Coli which has caused resistance to almost every antibiotic PO and IV. I have had four PICC lines for IV medications and as soon as I finished a series, I would receive a negative urine test. But within two weeks symptoms returned. This went on for over a year. My immune system was weakened and I developed allergies. I was weak and worn out. I developed a kidney stone and had surgery for its removal. My urologist gave up on me. He referred me to Johns Hopkins Urology Center. They too didn't know what to do. They wanted me to go to an infection specialist. I thought I was going to die of urosepsis. Hopkins told me I was immune to all the antibiotics. They put me on PO keflex for two months hoping it would "zap" it out. I kept getting sicker and sicker.I also was becoming febrile. The keflex was like a sugar pill. I was really scared. Now I have been a nurse for 15 years and I guess I know a little more than the average layman. I am a firm believer in medications and very skeptical of herbs of any kind. While I was googling urosepsis and ultimately preparing to die, an ad opened on my computer screen. It was about an herb for urinary health specifically with E-Coli infections. I didn't have anything to lose and it was cheap. It is called D-Mannose with Cranactin by Solaray. In three days ALL my symptoms were gone and I felt normal again. I take 1000mg in the morning and at night every day as a maintainence dose and praise God, I have not had an infection for almost 6 months. I gave it to some people I work with who state that it has worked within a couple of days for them also. I swear by it!Read More Read Less

Bloating, cramps and diarrhoea in the extreme...! No mention of this on the tin! Nor on the product website! Doesn't seem to have cleared UIT yet, but maybe 6 hours is too early to say. Not sure I can use this again - Im immobile with cramps and loose stools!

i have had chronic urinary tract infections for the past 30 years. I started getting an infection every 2 months instead of every 4 months or so. I thought i would try d-mannose and now have been using it for 1 year and have only had 2 infections. I am very impressed!!

I am in a wheelchair all the time. Was experiencing severe frequest UTI's with E-Coli bacteria. Antibiotics were not working. I have used D-Mannose now for about 5 years and I have only had 1 minor UTI which was quickly cleared with 1 short-term antibiotic. I have had very good success with D-Mannose.
