Has anyone tried 100% pure D-Mannose for the treatment and maintainence of bladder infections?
Posted by admin on Mar 1, 2010
If you have , where can I get it in Canada on-line? Thanks for your help.
I am very sensitive to some meds, especially antibiotics, which is why I am asking about a more natural way.. another name for this is UTI .
You could just take cranberry capsules as d-mannose is just the active ingredient of cranberry. Some may take d-mannose as they think they are getting a more potent product but that assumes that only the d-mannose of cranberry is an active component….it is just possible that there are other active co mponents in cranberry that give a synergistic effect with d-mannose.
You could also drink nettle tea as that is diuretic so keeps the bladder and kidneys well flushed and it also is rich in silica which is strengthening for the bladder wall. I would take a good quality probiotic too or alternatively eat lots of plain live yogurt. Drinking lots of any herbal tea or filtered water throughout the day also can help.
Wear only cotton pants and wash with water after using the toilet….with a squeezy bottle or small watering can if you have no bidet….or you could use a shower head. That also should help. And always go to the toilet to urinate after sexual intercourse.
Best wishes.
I know many people who take D-Mannose on a regular basis to keep their bladder and urinary tract healthy and in optimal shape. Some of them also take Cranberry in addition if they have a harder time.
I’m not aware of any websites in Canada that ship it, but it should be in your local health food store. If you can’t find it there, you could check at http://www.swansonvitamins.com http://www.puritanspride.com or http://www.vitacost.com … those are some of the highest quality and best priced companies that I’ve found and they all ship to Canada among other countries. Good luck and I hope I helped!
