Description
D-Mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar, structurally similar to glucose yet distinct in its metabolic effects and lower glycemic impact. Derived from fruits like cranberries, apples, and oranges, D-Mannose is recognized for its potential to support urinary tract health by preventing the adhesion of bacteria.
D-Mannose is about 57% to 72% as sweet as sucrose and produces approximately 8.37 Joules of heat per gram, which is about half that of glucose, making it an advantageous alternative for sugar management in dietary plans. Its clean, sweet taste and good solubility in water make D-Mannose an excellent choice for a variety of dietary supplements and functional foods.
