D-mannose by Aliness is a dietary supplement consisting of 100% premium quality d-mannose in powder form.
D-mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar, closely related to glucose, found in some fruits as well as in the human body. It has received attention for its potential health benefits, particularly its role in maintaining urinary tract health.
The structure of d-mannose is very similar to that of the glucose molecule, but minor differences in spatial configuration, determine the different properties of the two compounds. Unlike glucose, mannose has a low glycemic index and shows minimal effect on sugar levels.
D-mannose is being taken in a number of clinical studies on urinary tract health. It is thought to be helpful in preventing and treating urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections are often caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, which can adhere to the mucous membrane of the urinary tract. It is believed that d-mannose works by binding to E. coli bacteria, facilitating their flushing out of the urinary tract during urination. According to the cited publication [1], the said monosaccharide appears to reduce the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections and associated bothersome symptoms. It also leads to longer time between episodes of recurrent infections, and consequently improves quality of life.
In conclusion, D-mannose by Aliness, is a product containing high-quality d-mannose. It is a product that finds application in maintaining urinary tract health, among other things.
