How does D-Mannose work?

D-Mannose is a form of sugar that may prevent UTIs by stopping bacteria from attaching to the bladder lining. It is believed that D-Mannose attaches itself to the E.coli strain, which accounts for over 70% of all UTI-causing bacteria. There have been clinical studies to show that D-Mannose is effective along with feedback from doctors and consumers that D-Mannose helps to prevent UTIs. Even though evidence is limited, and it is not in UTI prevention guidelines, it can certainly help those facing chronic and/or trigger associated UTIs.
