Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use D-Mannose while I am taking antibiotics?

Yes, Waterfall D-Mannose is a 100% natural food supplement. If you are currently taking, or have been advised to take antibiotics, please consult your physician before making any changes to your regime.

Is D'Mannose safe during pregnancy?

D-Mannose will cross the placental barrier, but it is as unlikely to cause damage as a spoonful of regular table sugar (sucrose). Research shows that the fetus needs D'Mannose for normal development. If you have any concerns, we recommend that you consult a medical professional who knows you and your circumstances.

Is D'Mannose safe for children?

Unlike medications such as antibiotics which are classed as chemical substances, D-Mannose is a completely natural simple sugar, classed as a food supplement. For young children and infants, the dose should be adjusted according to weight. Consider the powdered version, or smaller, easier to swallow 500mg tablets.

Is D'Mannose safe for long term use?

D'Mannose is safe for long-term use. Only a small amount of ingested D'Mannose is actually metabolised, most of it is expelled through the urine. There is no disruption or imbalance to the microbiome. Its safe for pregnant women and infants.

Is D'Mannose safe for diabetics?

Pure D'Mannose is an isomer of glucose, not glucose, and it's effect on metabolism is not statistically traceable. We have hundreds of diabetic customers, who while they must continue to monitor their blood sugar levels, have never once reported a problem.

What's the difference between D-Mannose tablets and D-Mannose powder?

Tablets are compressed into measured doses. Each 1000mg tablet contains less than 0.1g vegetable magnesium stearate and HPMC film coating to bind and contain the powder. Each tablet measures at 1.8cm in length, which may make them difficult to swallow, but may be more convinient when travelling. The powdered form has no additives and easily dissovles in water, making it easy for children and the eldery to ingest. Dose for dose, tablets are just as effective as powder.

Which foods contain D-Mannose?

Our D-Mannose is from extracted from sweet forest timbers (mainly of the hard Fagaceae and Betulaceae families) without the use of solvents. It is also naturally occurring in trace amounts in many fruits (berries, tomatoes, apples, oranges, peaches, pineapples), vegetables (bringle, green beans, cabbage, broccoli), legumes (kidney beans, green beans, soybean, lima beans) and spices. Although it is also found in cranberries, the ascorbic acid in cranberries acidifies the urine, creating an environment in which E. coli thrive. Long term, eating fruit and vegetables promotes good health, however the amount of D-Mannose found in food is substantially less than what would be required for immediate bladder support.

Why do people use Food Supplements?

When we have been ill or unable to maintain a healthy and nutritious diet, supplements are generally considered useful to bridge that gap. While supplements are never intended to replace a healthy diet or diagnosis and treatment from a qualified medical doctor, dietary supplements are widely considered to be beneficial to a healthy life style. Some examples are calcium and vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin C and Multi Vitamins, B complex, Probiotics, Iron Supplements, Glucosamine. Food supplements are derived from food sources but usually provide a greater concentration of what is desired.

D-mannose is already found in small quantities in fruits such as peaches, pineapple, apples, oranges, and berries. It is even found in some of the cells in your body, including the cells of the urinary tract.

Does D-Mannose make you gain weight?

When ingested, D-Mannose is absorbed directly into the blood from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Unlike glucose, is not converted to glycogen, nor stored in the liver. It is metabolised eight times slower than glucose, making it a low GI supplement, which helps metabolise fat more efficiently. Within four hours, ingested D-Mannose has been entirely filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and is stored in the urinary bladder. It is now ready to be expelled from the body via urine, leaving no chance for weight gain from D-Mannose itself.

Why is there so much confusion about using D-Mannose?

One reason is because purity varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Our D-Mannose is 100% contaminant free, pure D-Mannose.

What exactly is D'Mannose?

It is not a herbal product, but a monosaccharide isomer of glucose, a completely natural food supplement. See What is D'Mannose for more information.

Are the Waterfall D-Mannose tablets as effective as the powder?

Yes. And they are just as good value. Each tablet is branded with a unique "WDM" stamp which is your guarantee of purity and qaulity. Please be weary of fakes which are often diluted with in-effective additives and contaminents. Our biodegradable packaging fits through the letter box. Our flip top pocket-sized handy packs ensure discretion and convenience when you are away from home.

What's a good way to determine how much Waterfall D-Mannose to take?

Because everyone is different, the information on our product suggests anything between 1 and 24 tablets a day, depending on your individual requirements. Please see a doctor if there is no improvement within 24 hours.

Can the product be used on animals?

We supply D-Mannose to veterinarians for cats, dogs, and horses. Please refer to our D-Mannose Pet product if you're considering supplementing your pet's bladder health.

Does Cranberry Juice support the bladder and urinary tract?

One of the first well intentioned, but false, pieces of advice that is passed on to women who develop UTIs is that cranberry juice helps cystitis. Unfortunately, cranberry juice contains ascorbic acid which acidifies the urine, creating an environment in which gram negative bacteria, such as E. coli, thrive. It is also high in sugar which can promote the growth of bacteria. Alkalising the urine is a much better option for the prevention of bacterial growth, Cranberry Juice exacerbates the problem.

Should I be concerned that vegetable magnesium stearate is used in the tablet form of Waterfall D-Mannose ?

It has been pointed out that an average sized 54 gram bar of milk chocolate has at least 500mg of stearic acid. That's at least 5 times more than is found in one tablet of Waterfall D-Mannose which contains less than 100mg. Stearic acid is also commonly found in other food products containing saturated fat such as beef, chicken, fish, eggs and grains.
