Q. Why don't I hear more
about this ?
A. The product is just becoming commercially
available recently. It has been 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. D-Mannose is a naturally occurring
sugar. It is found in certain fruits and even produced in the body.
The body doesn't metabolize the majority of the mannose when taken
and instead it is passed to the urine. There it rapidly binds to the
offending bacteria. No 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. Research shows mannose does not
create an insulin response nor does the body 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. If you can eat fruit you can
take our ClearTract.
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. Medical Doctors practice medicine, meaning
they prescribe medicine not nutritional supplements. Mannose can never be
patented into a drug.
Q. How fast can I expect relief
?
A. When Mannose is taken the body
rapdily sends 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. Mannose users are reporting that
they can feel an effect in 24 - 48 hours.
