Description
NOW Foods D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries. Now Foods D-mannose can adhere to unwanted foreign substances, preventing them from sticking to the bladder lining. In the bladder, because negligible amounts of Now Foods D-Mannose are used by the body, it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is quickly excreted in the urine.

D-mannose is a six-carbon simple sugar also sold as seminose or carubinose. Mannose is a steroid isomer of glucose and occurs naturally as a monosaccharide in fruits such as pineapple and cranberry, as well as in the glycoproteins of many plants and fungi.
NOW Foods' Pure Mannose is produced by isomerization of glucose derived from non-genetically modified corn, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes. It has a caloric value of 4 calories per gram and a minimum of 98 %, with the remainder being primarily moisture. Purity and identity have been verified by a third-party laboratory using a specific HPLC method to avoid contamination with other sugars. Microbiological and heavy metal analyses are performed to ensure this product is completely safe for human consumption. NOW Foods has taken numerous steps to ensure its Mannose is the purest product available today.
