Power Health D-Mannose Powder helps to treat cystitis, urine infection, UTI's and bladder infections quickly and safely.
D-Mannose is a simple sugar molecule found naturally in fruits such as cranberries. The sugar can be used to help flush out the bacteria responsible for up to 90% of urinary tract infections - E. coli. E. coli is naturally present in the digestive system but if it finds its way into the urinary tract it can multiply and adhere to the bladder wall, causing classic symptoms of urinary tract infection with associated pain and discomfort. When d-mannose is present the bacteria will often bind to this in preference to the bladder wall and they can then be flushed out during urination. D-mannose can be consumed at relatively high levels as a food supplement to actively remove E. coli during an infection or at a lower dosage on a continual basis to act as a preventative treatment.

What is D-Mannose?
D-Mannose is found naturally in fruits and vegetables in tiny amounts. D-Mannose is linked to glucose due to its structure and slightly sweet taste but is not metabolised like sugar. The NHS recognises D-Mannose as an alternative way to prevent UTIs
Where does D-Mannose come from?
Waterfall D-Mannose is fermented naturally from Birch Biomass (The bark from Birch Trees) without using solvents. Some D-Mannose manufacturers choose to use other types of D-Mannose; these can be from corn and synthetically made. When shopping for a D-Mannose product, always check the label. Many D-Mannose products on the market, despite being labelled as "D-Mannose", are blended with ingredients such as Cranberry, Bulking Agents and Fillers.
Can you take D-Mannose daily?
Yes, D-Mannose can be used daily. We have many customers using the Waterfall D-Mannose as a maintenance product. A daily dose is considered two tablets morning and before bed or just two before bed. Dosage can vary from person to person, with some customers finding they need two daily doses and others only need one. The most challenging element of using D-Mannose is finding the dosage that works for you, so most people would start higher and reduce down over time.
Why is D-Mannose not working?
If D-Mannose hasn't worked for you in the past, it could be due to one of the following reasons;
- The product used wasn't a high purity D-Mannose product and contained other ingredients.
- The D-Mannose dosage used was too little. Some D-Mannose products state "1 a tablet day" so marketing such as "60 day Supply" can be used. In reality, a maintenance dosage should be around 2g - 4g and for treatment between 6g - 12g per day for the most success.
- The bacteria causing the infection is something other than e.coli.
Is D-Mannose safe to use whilst pregnant?
While many people have used D-Mannose whilst pregnant, it is essential to understand that there haven't been clinical trials focusing solely on D-Mannose use with pregnant women. There is, however, no evidence to suggest D-Mannose is unsafe. Current guidance is to check with a health care professional or midwife before using any food supplements when pregnant.
Can I take D-Mannose alongside other products & medication?
Yes, Waterfall D-Mannose is a natural supplement.
Why do your tablets contain Vegetable Magnesium Stearate?
A minimal amount is used in our tablets to ensure they hold their shape and prevent crumbling instead of a long list of binders and fillers.
How much D-Mannose is there in Cranberries?
Naturally, there is a tiny amount of D-Mannose in some fruits and vegetables. D-Mannose makes up less than 0.05% of the weight in cranberries. You'd need to eat approximately 2kg of cranberries to equal one 1000mg Waterfall D-Mannose tablet! and around 12kg daily for an equivalent maintenance dose. Cranberries are also very acidifying, which for some can be a trigger for infections.
Is D-Mannose suitable for men?
Yes, d-mannose works the same for men, women, children and pets. D-Mannose may also offer relief to prostate conditions such as prostatitis. It is, however, essential to speak to a medical professional to rule out acute prostatitis.
