A naturally occurring sugar related chemically to glucose, D-Mannose is found in several plants. However, unlike many of the sugars to which it is related, D-Mannose is not metabolized as readily in the body and converted to energy. It passes through the urinary tract and has been shown to help support immune health by preventing some kinds of bacteria from collecting and causing infection. Because it is not processed the same as other types of glucose-related sugars, it does not directly alter the body’s blood sugar levels. Nu U Nutrition D-Mannose tablets offer a high strength source of D-Mannose that is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and does not contain any other allergens such as gluten, eggs, fish, nuts, milk, lactose, wheat, seeds and mustard. Made of the highest quality natural ingredients, each 500mg tablet is free from additives, GMOs, herbicides and artificial fertilisers.
