Biovea D-Mannose 500mg - D-Mannose

What is D-mannose? D-mannose is a monosaccharide hexose simple sugar that occurs naturally in some trees and fruits, such as blueberries, and is closely related to glucose. Small amounts of D-mannose are metabolized by our bodies; more than small amounts are excreted immediately in the urine and supplement the body's natural cleansing process. What does D-mannose do? D-mannose binds to bacteria better than bacteria bind to human cells in the bladder and urinary tract. When we take a large amount of D-mannose, almost all of it spills into the urine through our kidneys, literally coating any bacteria present so that they can no longer attach to the inner walls of the bladder and urinary tract. The bacteria are then literally flushed out during normal urination. Urinary tract imbalances are widespread and it is estimated that 20% of women will experience them. BIOVEA® D-Mannose supports the health of the entire urinary tract: urethra, bladder, ureter, renal pelvis and renal parenchyma. D-Mannose nourishes the healthy flora that colonizes the membranes of the urinary tract and keeps us in balance.
