D-Mannose is a nutritional supplement that can be found in cranberries, peaches, apples, other berries, and some plants. It is a type of sugar that is related to glucose, but it does not behave like sugar in the body. It is used to help prevent urinary tract infections because it inhibits bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. If bacteria can’t latch onto your bladder, it’s less likely to cause an infection.

Some people are prone to getting repeated bladder infections; D-mannose can greatly improve quality of life and reduce reliance on antibiotics. Although antibiotics are sometimes necessary, they can have very detrimental effects on your immune system. Preventing an infection in the first place is a much healthier option.

D-mannose is a natural molecule that is found in cranberries, apples and some other fruits. It is the active ingredient in cranberries, minus the sugar that usually accompanies cranberry products like juice. If you have a bladder infection, sugar is the last thing you should consume because it can encourage the growth of harmful bugs and fuel an infection.

Reduced use of antibiotics lessens the possibility of resistant strains in future use when it may be extremely important. Using antibiotics against bladder infections frequently could also lead to more resistant E.coli, thrush, and long term antibiotic-related complications.

If the urinary tract infection has made its way into the kidneys, antibiotics are the go-to treatment. For serve bladder infections, again antibiotics would be the first call of treatment.

Although a course of antibiotics is often prescribed for the treatment of UTIs as a way of killing the unwanted bacteria in the urinary tract, it should only be used as a last resort, as these antibiotics will also kill the ‘friendly’ bacteria in the gut, causing digestive issues and yeast infections.

Using a treatment such as D-mannose, which can be used just as effectively as antibiotics, without any of the side effects, is a long-term solution which won’t comprise other areas of your health.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ font_color=”#262626″ css=”.vc_custom_1499857398587{margin-top: 70px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;background: #e5e5e5 url(https://uti.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/antibioticback-2.jpg?id=8235) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Antibiotic alternative” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]D-mannose has amazing benefits for urinary tract health. Primarily, its ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections by inhibiting bacteria from adhering to the wall of the urinary tract. By not allowing bacteria, in most cases, E.coli to stick to the wall of the urinary tract, it is must harder for infections to occur as the bacteria gets washed out with urine.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A study in 2014 with over 300 women that suffered from recurrent urinary tract infections showed that D-mannose was not only effective at treating UTIs but it was more effective than Nitrofurantoin, a common bladder antibiotic. Only 15 percent of those taking D-mannose had a recurrent UTI, compared to 20 percent for the antibiotic group, which were both far lower than the non-treatment group at 61% suffering from a UTI. D-mannose not only reduced the chance of getting a UTI but it did so without all the side effects that come with antibiotics.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″ font_color=”#303030″ css=”.vc_custom_1499857837275{margin-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”How D-mannose works” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_single_image image=”8242″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]D-mannose has been proved to fight against urinary tract infect ions caused by the bacteria, E. Coli. Unfortunately for the E. coli, D-mannose sticks to E. coli fingers even better than E. coli sticks to human cells.

When we take a large quantity of D-mannose, almost all of it spills into the urine through our kidneys, literally coating any E.coli present so they can no longer stick to the inside walls of the bladder and urinary tract. The E. coli are then rinsed away with normal urination.[/vc_column_text]

Drinking cranberry juice for D-mannose is not worth the large amount of sugar consumed for a small amount of D-mannose. cranberry juice is high in sugar, which adds stress to your immune system and can fuel the growth of pathogenic bacteria in your gut.

Pure D-mannose in the UTI Support is about 10-50 times stronger than cranberry, non-toxic and completely safe.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1499855925095{margin-top: 70px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ font_color=”#303030″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
