D-mannose is used for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and treating carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, an inherited metabolic disorder.

D-mannose (or mannose) is a type of sugar found in a number of fruits and vegetables. It's also produced in the body from glucose, another form of sugar.

Major & minor side effects for D- mannose

• Bloating
• Loose stool
• Diarrhea
• Kidney impair

Some research suggests that D-mannose might make blood sugar control more difficult in people with diabetes.

Children shouldn't take D-mannose as well.

Self-treating a UTI with D-mannose, or avoiding or delaying standard care, is unadvised as it can lead to serious complications, including a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and even permanent kidney damage.
