A substance whose name suggests a sugar, and indeed it is. D-Mannose is a simple sugar, a monosaccharide, chemically related to glucose. This LUTO Supplements powder contains 250 grams of pure D-Mannose without additives. Enough to prepare 125 doses of 2 grams each. You dissolve it in water or juice, and it's ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-Mannose really is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose is naturally present in small quantities in fruits such as cranberries and peaches. For supplements, it is produced industrially from plant carbohydrate sources. The special thing about this sugar is that your body does little with it energetically. Where glucose is consumed as fuel by your cells, D-Mannose takes a different path. After ingestion, it is absorbed in the intestine, and then largely excreted unchanged by the kidneys into the urine. So it is not converted into energy like regular sugar. This also makes it sugar-free in a practical sense: it does not count as a source of available sugars in your diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow D-Mannose behaves in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many don't know: D-Mannose acts differently than you might expect from a sugar molecule. After ingestion, it travels through the bloodstream to the kidneys and ends up in the urine. There, it can bind to certain protein structures on the surface of bacteria, particularly to the FimH adhesins of type 1 fimbriae of uropathogenic E. coli bacteria. In short: the molecule attaches itself to the bacteria, making it more difficult for these bacteria to stick to the bladder wall. So it is not a bactericide. It works more like a kind of decoy: the bacteria bind to D-Mannose rather than to your tissues. The effectiveness of this process depends on the frequency and concentration of D-Mannose present in the urine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy powder and not capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose powder has a practical advantage over capsules or tablets. It dissolves quickly in cold or hot water and has a fairly neutral taste. So you can easily mix it into a glass of water or juice. But the biggest advantage is the flexibility of dosing. With the included 2-gram scoop, you decide how much to take each time. With capsules, you are tied to a fixed amount per unit. In terms of absorption in your body, the form does not make much difference: free D-Mannose in powder form is well absorbed by the intestine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis D-Mannose supplement from LUTO Supplements is a no-frills powder, with a single ingredient and clear dosing. Anyone looking for pure D-Mannose without embellishments has 250 grams here to get started.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390696988900,"sku":"8721055250791","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/D-Mannose.jpg?v=1783929258","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-d-mannose-poudre-250g","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
