The Science
D-mannose is a simple sugar, much like glucose. Similar in chemical structure, these two sugars play vital roles in the extraction and utilization of energy in the body. Certain bacteria and various other microbes can also live off of glucose. In order to maintain a healthy microbial balance, modifying sugar levels helps foster an environment that is hospitable to beneficial bacteria and unfavorable to those that are unwanted. One way that D-mannose is thought to assist in the modification of a healthy urinary and digestive tract is through the adhesion of bacteria to the body. It is also possible that D-mannose binds to bacteria, and then is eliminated through urination.
Cranberries have been considered an herbal remedy for urinary tract health for generations. The compounds found in cranberries, as well as oranges and grapes, contain fructose and d-mannose, which inhibit or weaken the ability of pili. Pili are the structures in bacteria that allow it to bind to a surface. By delivering the active component that inhibits adhesion, D-mannose helps the body to achieve microbial balance without enduring the potential for added sugar or bitter cranberry taste.
