What is D-Mannose ?

Welcome to Goldea Health, where we take you on a journey of discovery through the world of natural supplements. Today, we’re diving deeper into the miraculous properties of D-mannose and why it’s an essential ingredient in our products. Together with cranberry and bearberry leaf, D-mannose forms a powerful combination for a healthy bladder. Curious how these ingredients can help you? Read on!

D-Mannose , what is it?

D-Mannose, a natural sugar found in various fruits and plants, plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy bladder.

Although our body does not produce D-mannose itself, we can obtain it from food or supplements. In nature, you can find D-mannose in various types of fruits and plants. Cranberries and apples, among others, contain natural D-mannose. The use of D-mannose supplements in the treatment of urinary tract infections is gaining popularity. In this blog we will tell you more about this.

Why take D-mannose for bladder infections?

The wrong bacteria in your bladder

Urinary tract infections are often caused by the intestinal bacteria E. coli. This bacteria is harmless in your intestines, but if it ends up in your bladder, you can suffer from a bladder infection. The following symptoms can be associated with a bladder infection:

  • Frequent urination
  • Burning sensation
  • Abdominal and/or back pain
  • Pain when urinating

An untreated bladder infection can develop into a kidney infection.

If you suspect a bladder or kidney infection, always contact your doctor!

The beneficial effects of D-mannose*

Researchers suspect that D-mannose is an excellent choice for treating and preventing bladder infections. Because the E. coli bacteria attaches to the D-mannose, the bad bacteria leave your bladder when you urinate. In addition, D-mannose does not seem to cause any unpleasant side effects. It leaves the healthy bacteria alone. Your body also does not develop resistance, so you can safely continue using D-mannose.

Cranberry and bearberry leaf

Along with D-mannose, cranberry and bearberry leaf form a dynamic duo in our supplements. What makes this combination so powerful? Cranberry has been known for centuries for its beneficial effects on the urinary tract. It is packed with antioxidants and bioactive compounds that help prevent urinary tract infections. Bearberry leaf, on the other hand, contains arbutin, a compound with cleansing properties that has been used since the Middle Ages to keep the bladder healthy.
