  D-mannose - bladder infections and cystitis
One day 7 months ago I was suffering from a really bad urine infection - increasing spasms, cold sweats, and feeling really unwell and I just knew I had to find something to stop these infections.
So I researched online and found a product called Waterfall D-Mannose which is a pure blend of the high alpha and beta manomers of a rare mannose sugar extracted from sweet forest timbers.
I read the information on the website and found it really interesting so I bought a sample to try, really thinking in the back of my mind that it would probably be a waste of money.

  Olympus MIC-D: Polarized Light Gallery - Mannose
As a six-carbon simple sugar, mannose (or dextro-mannose) is a stereoisomer of glucose that is found as an uncommon, naturally occurring saccharide in some plants, particularly legumes, and other food plants.
With oral mannose, the sugar coats the bacteria so that they don't hold onto the lining and then urine is able to flush them away.
Mannose is also used in veterinary medicine for treating uterine bacterial infections because there are no unwanted side effects (including killing "good" bacteria or normal gut flora), and because the sugar avoids the developed resistance quandary posed by antibiotics and many strains of microbes.

 «D-Mannose Powder - Discount Bodybuilding - Nutritional Supplements
Mannose is a sterioisomer of Glucose and naturally occurs as a monosaccharide in fruit like pineapple and cranberry as well as in the glycoproteins of many plants and fungi.
When sufficient Mannose is consumed the excess molecules of this sugar present in the resident urine act as a sacrificial bodyguards that attach themselves to the lectins thereby blocking the disease causing E. coli from adhering to the tissues of the bladder and subsequent colonization.
A substantial amount of Mannose is absorbed into the bloodstream mostly unchanged and after passing through the kidneys it’s excreted into the urine and continues its journey through the ureters, bladder and urethra where it performs a valuable service to support and maintain a healthy urinary tract before exiting the body.

 NOW Foods - Mannose
Mannose is a stereoisomer that is a mirror image of Glucose and naturally occurs as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) in fruit like blueberries and cranberries, as well as in other plants and fungi.
When sufficient Mannose is consumed, the excess molecules of this sugar present in the urine attach to the lectins, thereby blocking microorganisms from adhering to the tissues of the bladder and forming new colonies.
Although Mannose is a simple sugar and is absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, it is absorbed at a slower rate than most sugars and is not readily converted to glycogen for storage.

 FAQ about Waterfall D-Mannose
The extraction process uses strong light to charge the ions of mannose, allowing them to stick to a collector plate, where they are scraped off in sterile conditions.
We only use the best mannose, ensuring the bio-activity of our d-mannose is 100%, allowing it to fill the mannose receptors that E.coli and Klebsiella (primarily) use to attach to the bladder and urinary tract.
Waterfall D-Mannose has a high alpha mannose content, and this makes it very effective at sticking to E.coli's Type-1 fimbriae, which is the principle and initial method of attachment of most pathogenic E.coli and similar bacteria to the bladder and urinary tract.

 D-Mannose bladder problems
Since the mannose peak was often masked by near unidentified peaks, the peak of mannose could be detected only in 80 cases and its concentration could be measured only in 24 cases.
Mannose concentration in the urine of the 24 cases was between 2.6 and 108.7 micrograms/ml and in most of cases it was lower than 20 micrograms/ml.

 [No title]
Because mannose is an all-natural sugar compound (one of the few forms of sugar you'll find me strongly recommending!), it is a nutritional supplement and not a drug.
When mannose is taken the body redirects it to the urine, where it will start to show concentrations in the urine within 30 minutes.
While mannose is effective for mild UTIs, if it is not working you will want to consider the use of an antibiotic, as the infection can spread into your kidneys and cause some very serious damage if left untreated.

 Mannose-binding lectin (MBL)
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), also called mannose binding protein (MBP), is a calcium-dependent serum protein that plays a role in the innate immune response by binding to carbohydrates on the surface of a wide range of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa) where it can activate the complement system or act directly as an opsonin (Anders, 2001).
Mannose-binding lectin is a member of the collectin family of proteins, which are made in the liver and can opsonize bacteria by tagging the surface of a pathogen to facilitate recognition and ingestion by phagocytes.
When MBL binds to its target (for example, mannose on the surface of a bacterium), the MASP protein functions like a convertase to clip C3 into C3a and C3b.
