Q. Why don't I hear more
about this ?
A. The product is just becoming commercially
available recently. It has been known about and used for years by
some well respected M.D.'s but it has been difficult to obtain due
to costs and manufacturing capabilities. This has changed and is
now available to the public.
Q. Is it safe?
A. Mannose is a naturally occurring
sugar. It is found in nature and even produced in the body. It's
action is very passive. The body doesn't metabolize the majority
of the mannose when taken and instead it is passed to the urine.
There it passively binds to the offending bacteria. This profile
of action is very passive and does not disrupt other processes in
the body. No reports of side effects have been reported.
Q. Does it cause problems with
blood sugar?
A. The body does not react to mannose
in the way it does to most sugars. It does not create an insulin
response as the body does not metabolize mannose as it does most
sugars and instead excretes it into the urine. (Ganda OP 1979).
Q. Can I take it with antibiotics
?
A. Yes, you can. It is a nutritional
food substance that won't interfere. It would be similar to drinking
cranberry juice while taking antibiotics which is sometimes recommended
by doctors.
Q. Why can't I find it in my local
health food store ?
A. The product is not yet in wider
distribution yet. It takes a while before retailers will stock a
product, expect to see it in the next year. But in the meantime
you can order it online and receive it in a little as a day.
Q. What is it made from/ What
are the ingredients ?
A. The ingredients are 100% Mannose,
which is a rare saccharide that is naturally occurring in some plant
and food substances.
Q. Why doesn't my doctor prescribe
it ?
A. Unfortunately most doctors are
only trained to look to medical procedures and pharmaceuticals to
cure illness, causing them to overlook many effective products,
like Mannose. Doctor's are constantly bombarded with pharmaceutical
drug reps trying to entice the doctor to prescribe their drug. Because
Mannose is an all natural sugar compound, it isn't a drug, it's
a nutritional supplement. This means there isn't millions of dollars
to pay a large staff of people to call on doctors to educate them
on Mannose. There are doctors out there using and recommending mannose,
but they are rare as it takes alot of time and initiative to find
these valuable substances. With overbooked schedules, doctors just
don't have the time or resource to find these things.
Q. How fast can I expect relief
?
A. When Mannose is taken the body
redirects it to the urine, where it will start to show concentrations
in the urine within 30 minutes. Once it is passed into the urine
it goes to work immediately. Depending on the concentration of bacteria
present will determine how long it takes to clear it out. Mannose
users are reporting that their symptoms are substantially better
in 24 hours - 48 hours and totally cleared in 3 days.
