Product name: D-Mannose
CAS No: 3458-28-4
Mannose is a sugar with the formula HOCH2(CHOH)4CHO. It is one of the monomers of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. It is a C-2 epimer of glucose. Mannose is important in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of certain proteins. Several congenital disorders of glycosylation are associated with mutations in enzymes involved in mannose metabolism.
Mannose is not an essential nutrient; it can be produced in the human body from glucose, or converted into glucose. Mannose provides 2-5 kcal/g. It is partially excreted in the urine.
Mannose (D-mannose) is used as a dietary supplement to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). As of 2022, one review found that taking mannose was as effective as antibiotics to prevent UTIs, while another review found that clinical trial quality was too low to allow any conclusion about using D‐mannose to prevent or treat UTIs. In 2024, a randomized clinical trial among 598 women with recurrent UTI recruited from primary care settings found the proportion experiencing a medically attended UTI was 51.0% in those taking daily D-mannose over 6 months and 55.7% in those taking placebo, concluding that D-mannose should not be recommended to prevent future episodes of medically attended UTI in women with recurrent UTI in primary care.
