D-Mannose Tablets 1000mg | Easy Swallow Coated Tablets | 120 Pack | High Strength | Natural Relief & Vegan Friendly

This product literally changed my whole life.I am experiencing urinary infections since I'm 16. The episode was treated with classical specific antibiotics. A couple of days later, the infection came back stronger... And I lived 8 years since with chronical urinary infection (2-3-6 times a week sometimes, minimum 3 per months). I tried everything : natural cramberry juice, no spicy food, no gluten, no oil, no sex, no shaving/wax hair removal, change panties for full cotton ones (no more Gstrings), no more slim cloths, drink thousand of liters of water every day, go pee every two hours/or holding myself as much as possible, take baths/take no more baths, keep warm especially when sitting outside, take urinary comfort pills, MST tests, urinary infection test, etc... No way to remove the pain, constant need to go pee but burning sensation as soon as my bladder was empty, basically incapable to go to school nor work.The ONLY thing that helps this product: it's the first time of my life that I'm actually relieved by a pill. I take one morning and evening to prevent episodes, and when it's too late (like waking up in the middle of the night in pain), I just take two immediately. It helps SO MUCH to push back the infections when I feel them coming and to eliminate them faster when they are there.I couldn't live without it now, it's not cheap but at least I can live a normal life without the fear of the next one, I know it's going to be manageable. I recommend a thousand %!

Expensive but worth the price- really good at preventing UTIs if you're more at risk one day. Updated my review because I'm a biochemistry student and I learnt the mechanism of how this works! The bacteria causing the UTI has pili (long 'arms') which bind mannose sugar in your urinary tract cells, and then use that to cling on & get into the cells. If you take this you will have lots of mannose in your urine instead, so the bacteria will stick to this instead of your cells and get flushed out. Definitely not just a vague supplement or placebo!Edit- I have since found a study which has a source for this mechanism, and reports that it has similar effectiveness of UTI prevention as antibiotics, and very minimal side effects (although sample sizes are fairly small) if anyone is interested:Lenger SM, Bradley MS, Thomas DA, Bertolet MH, Lowder JL, Sutcliffe S. D-mannose vs other agents for recurrent urinary tract infection prevention in adult women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

As a sufferer of horrendous bladder infections for 6+ years now I have been saved on many occasions by D’Mannose and feel I am a self-proclaimed expert on natural treatments for UTIs!80% +/- of bladder infections are caused by E-Coli.Please note that D’Mannose has only been proven to work against E-Coli urinary tract infections.If you are finding your symptoms do not alleviate with D’Mannose then you may have another bacterial strain (klebsiella, proteus etc for example) that needs different treatment.You may also find you are not taking enough D’Mannose. I take D’Mannose as a prophylactic around “trigger” points I know where I could potentially get a UTI and if I immediately feel symptoms this cures it (IF I have developed an E-Coli UTI. I wouldn’t trust Urine sticks or NHS results as most of the time I received “inconclusive results” I literally go by reduction of symptoms as indication as to whether or not I am tackling an E-Coli UTI)I take: 3 x 1000mg D’Mannose tablets preventively before known triggers. Wait an hour. Another 3 x 1000mg. i always ensure to have some in my system before bedtime so that the D’Mannose lingers in the bladder longer to rid the E-Coli from the bladder walls.If I am in a full blown flare I will take 3 x 1000mg every 2/3 hours or so until symptoms dissipate… I have never had any ill side effects but I would advise to trust your body and speak to a medical professional if you are concerned.Ladies - if you are based in the UK and are suffering from chronic UTIs and symptoms do not alleviate - please reach out to the Chronic UTI Clinic in Harley Street.There is also an amazing Facebook group called “Embedded UTI / Chronic UTI” with over 20k members from Around the world who share advice.*hugs!*

I haven’t tried these yet as I’m currently on a course of antibiotics for pyelonephritis and a UTI in which I ended up hospitalised as I couldn’t urinate and was passing big blood clots from my urethra! Worst experience of my life!My mum saw a urologist earlier this year and he recommended to try D MannoseIt works by coating your bladder so no bacteria (E.Coli) can stick to it and instead you flush it out.He recommended taking 1000mg at bed time with 100ml of water and not to urinate for 2 hours. This is because it’ll have a chance to fully coat your bladder.Mum took one last night before bed as instructed and woke up this morning with no usual burning feeling whilst urinating. She is very happy and she’s impressed!The packaging is small but I love it as it’s very modern and also doesn’t waste unneeded plastic and packaging.I will be back to update this review in a month or so’s time once I’ve started taking them for some time.
