Product Review: What a relief
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so grateful to have found this product. I have interstitial cystitis (for many years) which flares up too often. Having used antibiotics on several instances in the past year, I was searching for a "holistic" approach for treatment. Having found MannoMax(thanks to an Amazon search) I purchased it and immediately after one use I felt relief. I now drink it, in hot water, on a daily basis and more often if I anticipate an issue of bladder irritation.I cannot praise this product enough, I have told my primary doctor about this as well.

Summary: 5 Stars
I never had urinary tract infections until I became a diabetic. The first time I got one I ended up in the ER with extreme pain from a distended bladder. Doctors put me on antibiotics and I'd be ok for a while, even months but this is a problem that progresses. Now I have UTI pretty much all the time and the antibiotics stopped working. I've heard that if I lived on a lower glycemic diet, the UTI would go away but for now I've discovered d-mannose from the writings of Jonathan Wright MD of Tacoma Clinic.
D-mannose power is d-mannose powder so there isn't a lot of difference between one brand or another. I like this particular brand because when I called their customer service to ask a question about doseage they gave me a very thorough and easily understood answer - not the first time I called, but the 2nd time when someone who had more technical knowledge got back to me. I also like their purple scoop. Other products don't have scoops at all or have clear plastic scoops that are very difficult to find in the tub.
The trick with d-mannose is that you have to know how much you're taking and start by taking plenty,then gradually taper off until you have a maintenance dose. A mantenance dose isn't necessary for everyone but for those of us who have reoccuring episodes it's vital. Read up on how much you should take and do it as recommended. I got good info from [...] - a product under d-mannose that is meant to get you started and contains only enough for 4 days. After that you can use powder or capsules. Powder is less expensive but capsule contain exact amounts of d-mannose with fillers. Right now and until I know what my maintenance dose is, I'm using capsules because I want exactness.
This is a good product. Even after stirring it may settle at the bottom of your glass so give it a little time to disolve. I put it in water so that I can see when it's fully disolved. Room temp water works better than cold water.
