D-Mannose Lemon®

When we have been ill or unable to eat a diet that is nutritious and varied, supplements are generally considered useful to bridge that gap. And while supplements are never intended to replace a healthy diet or replace diagnosis and treatment from a qualified medical doctor, dietary supplements are widely considered to be beneficial and are often used daily as an adjunct 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 and so on, just in the same way you may be prescribed HRT or B12 injections when insufficiency has been identified. Food supplements are derived from food sources but usually provide a greater source or concentrate of what is desired at any given time.

D-mannose, for example, is already found in small quantities in fruits such as peaches, pineapple, apples, oranges, and berries and it is even found in some of the cells in your body, including the cells of the urinary tract to which Escherichia coli attaches and colonises.

This "attachment" involves an interesting protein called the Tamm-Horsfall protein, a glycoprotein that is synthesised by the epithelial cells to help create an anti-adherence "defence". It is thought that some people lack THP or it is at a low level with the result that conversely adherence may be increased.

One reason is because purity varies. Our D-Mannose is guaranteed 100% contaminant free, pure bio-active D-Mannose.

It is not a herbal product, but a monosaccharide isomer of glucose. We only use the best mannose available and produce a product that is certified 100% contaminant free.

Waterfall D-Mannose supports a healthy bladder by providing bio-available mannose to the urine. People with a naturally healthy bladder usually have sufficient mannose in their urine. Some people may not have enough. Supplementing your diet with additional mannose may be a natural way to help maintain a healthy bladder. Ingested mannose all leaves the body within 4 hours.

Yes. You just swallow the tablets with a drink instead of dissolving them in water. And they are just as good value. Waterfall D-Mannose tablets carry the unique Waterfall D-Mannose stamp. This is your guarantee of purity and safety with 1000mg of pure D Mannose powder in every tablet. Our new biodegradable packaging fits through the letter box. Our new flip top pocket-sized handy packs ensure discretion and convenience when you are away from home.

To the very best of our knowledge D-Mannose is completely safe - but always do your own research and discuss with a medical professional. Mannose is an essential glyconutrient, a food supplement rather than a medicine. It is already in cells in your body, and your body produces mannose naturally, just as it produces vitamins like C and D. Mannose is also present in minute quantities in some foods like blueberries, pineapple, and Aloe Vera.

Everyone is different, so our information on our product suggests between 1 and 24 tablets a day depnding on your individual requirements. Please see a doctor if there is no improvement within 24 hours.

To the very best of our knowledge, Waterfall D-Mannose is safe for everyone. Pure D-mannose is an essential glyconutrient. Waterfall D-Mannose is an isomer of glucose, not glucose, so is not metabolized to any discernible extent. Your doctor or health care advisor will appreciate this fact. It is generally considered safer than white sugar, or drug therapy.

However, although we have gained a lot of experience about our products since 2003 when we began, we are not medically qualified, nor can we take in to account individual circumstances. For these reasons, we strongly advise that people should always consult their doctor before changing medical treatments, or starting on any alternative remedy or drug, especially when pregnant. Explaining the following may help you and your doctor make a decision:

• Waterfall D-Mannose is an isomer of glucose, not glucose.
• It is naturally manufactured from plant sources without chemical residues of any kind.
• It is certified free of any contaminants.
• It is already present already in every body cell.
• The tablets do not contain a list of unwanted excipients: they are produced by pressure.

We supply to vets for cats, dogs, and horses, because it works well for animals. The effect is dose related, so you have to give Waterfall D-Mannose proportionally according to the animal's weight. Please see our D-Mannose Pet product.

Mannose is an essential glyconutrient and something your body needs to support optimum health, just as it needs a certain amount of vitamins, protein, etc.

It has been pointed out that one-half bar of milk chocolate has approximately 1,283 mg of stearic acid. A half bar of chocolate, to give a comparison, has in fact 2000 times more than is found in one tablet of Waterfall D-Mannose .

The D in d-mannose does not refer to dextra, which means sugar, although seeing the D in front of a product name does generally indicate that the product is a sugar, and generally a monosaccharide. However, D before mannose does not mean sugar and actually refers to the D orientation of the sugar molecule.

For example, in D-glucose and L-glucose, the D and L prefixes are used with monosaccharides, to differentiate stereoisomers that are mirror-images of each other.

In the Fischer projection the D and L prefixes specifies the configuration at the carbon atom that is second from bottom - D if the hydroxyl is on the right side, and L if it is on the left side. In 1890, Fischer established the stereo chemical nature and isomeric properties of the sugars, and eventually established the stereo chemical configuration of all the known sugars.
