D-Mannose works for UTI? Does D-Mannose work for UTI?

Yes! It can work as a cure if you take a bunch of doses really close together, it will flush out bacteria every time you pee, until none is left. Once infection is gone, take it daily to prevent ever getting another one. This product changed my life when I started taking it over a year ago.

I do not take D-Mannose to "cure" a UTI. In my lay opinion, antibiotics "cure" a bacterial UTI infection. I take D-Mannose to PREVENT UTIs. I take it as a preventative and as such, it works wonders. If you have any kind of cystitis - (i.e., honeymooon or intersticial) it is very comforting and helps to keep a full blown infection at bay. I have taken it regularly (3 tsp./day) for over a year and I have not ever noticed any single bit of a side effect. It is a natural product. I don't imagine that there would be any side effects from regular use.

I've read the same information about probiotics, but the fact is, that I've tried other more expensive probiotics that claim that their product has more live cultures that reach the gut, but they didn't work for me. The matter a fact, I had more issues with them, so I ended up switching back to Advanced Probiotics and within just a few days my gut was feeling better, and my colon was back on track again. All I can say is, this product works for me, but everyones body is different, so you may need to try a few different types of probiotics before you find the one that is right for you.

I mix a scoop of the powder with my cats wet food daily. It has worked wonders for her chronic UTI problem. She is no longer running back and forth to the litter box. Even y vet recommended it. Works great.

Sandy, I have been on Warfarin since 2010 and discovered the benefits of D-mannose for UTIs about a year later. (I had been getting a UTI at least once a year prior to using D-mannose...even while trying other preventive aides.) My monthly Pro-time tests are consistently good and at the proper levels as overseen by my doctor. So for me, D-mannose has kept any UTIs away & NOT affected my blood work or Warfarin dosage. Please note that I do not take the D-mannose daily (unless I feel a UTI is trying to take hold) but I do try to take it several times a week. So for me the large bottle lasts far longer than 40 days.

A bit late to answer but saw your question only today. I gave my kitty the cranberry relief and 10 drops of UTI+ twice a day. It didn't show any negative symptons. Hope your baby is OK.

I have been taking D-Mannose for 2 days for a uti and my symptoms are greatly reduced. Too soon to say if it will be a complete cure or not but I certainly think it's worth a good try before resorting to antibiotics.

If you can completely eliminate the odor, it will help deter them. I suggest getting a urine spotting light so you can be sure all urns is gone. Also it often takes me 2 applications of the product to really get urine out

The AZO I purchased is 25,000 mg of cranberry concentrate.. My urologist approved of it. Frankly, I did not feel it helped me anymore than the trunature Cranberry that I get at Costco, which is 300 mg, and I was told by my previous Doctor to take 4 a day. 2 am and 2 pm. What really, really helps is Silver Solution which I get from Bnaturl.com and there is a beginner package that also sends you a book to read about it. Old fashioned and works great for urinary or other pathologic problems.

The recommended dose is 2 per day. Nothing on the label indicates milligrams as it is not a 'drug', it is a supplement. My Mother takes it regularly and it reduces her number of UTI's and severity of reaction to them.

Don't know. We got it to keep our male dog's urinary tract clear and it works great for that purpose!

Peter, because this product had been recommended to help boost good bacteria for those dealing with intestinal yeast. Since sugar feeds yeast, I believe we can safely assume there is no sugar in this products.

I don't know any men who have used it. It is specific to the urinary system which would include kidneys and tubes. I would say try it. Speaking in my own experience this works better than any pills I've ever used. You can't drink enough cranberry juice to get the same results as Cystex.

D-Mannose did NOT work to cure my UTI that was an e coli colony count of 100,000. I threw other things at it, too, like uva ursi, etc. No luck. I had been able to cure one before when it was just a twinge and I did not have a confirmed lab result. I WISH it were always a cure. But no. I do plan to take it as a preventative. I hear there may be a vaccine around the year 2020. These infections are H*LL.

I spoke with my sister and she states that found a video on youtube that helped with cleaning the bladder. The method is not convenient but it worked,,Sorry about the delay !

In my experience YES it stops them from returning to the same spot. And I like the smell. As I understand it the enzymes REMOVE the scent of the pee, they don't just mask it.

It did for me, but I have only used it for one incidence that I cannot guarantee was BV. It seemed like it was, but it could have been a very strange yeast infection...possibly...though I am pretty sure it wasn't. Of course, BV symptoms could be caused by a really bad STD type bacteria, too. I highly doubt it would be of any use for that. I tried this product for what I believe was BV because it has prebiotic. Prebiotics have been shown to be effective vaginally for BV. It did work, quickly, for me. Symptoms were gone completely in several uses. I kept using weekly for the next two weeks. Symptoms never came back and I used no other treatments. So?? It did for me, but I have only used it for one incidence that I cannot guarantee was BV.
