Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This supplement contains one active ingredient: D-mannose, a naturally occurring sugar. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

Does it work?

Leans against
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports bladder and urinary tract health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary tract infection prevention, bladder health, kidney health.
  • The closest evidence on file: D-mannose is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence picture is mixed. D-mannose is likely effective for carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b, a rare metabolic disorder.

For urinary tract infections (UTIs), the data suggests it's possibly ineffective — meaning the evidence doesn't support it as a reliable option for prevention or treatment. If you're considering this for UTI relief, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about options with stronger evidence behind them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient D-mannose

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

D-mannose is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are bloating, diarrhea, and nausea.

Diarrhea risk increases with higher doses — taking more than 200 mg per kilogram of body weight in a single dose is more likely to cause osmotic diarrhea (the kind triggered when too much sugar pulls water into your stool). There isn't enough safety data to know whether this supplement is safe in pregnancy; safety while breastfeeding is also not well studied.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for D-mannose. Even so, it's wise to review your full medication list with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding any new supplement.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

D-Mannose 500 is generally well tolerated short-term and may help with a specific rare metabolic disorder, but it's not reliable for UTI relief. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any regular medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Stick to the dose on the label to minimize your risk of digestive side effects.

Formulation

Supports bladder and urinary tract health

Andrew Lessman's D-Mannose 500 delivers 500 mg of pure, non-GMO D-Mannose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide (simple sugar) that supports the health of the bladder, kidneys and urinary tract.

Research has shown that its benefits stem from its ability to promote a healthy environment and microbiome in the bladder and urinary tract. D-Mannose is not metabolized like a typical sugar, so it will not interfere with healthy blood sugar balance. D-Mannose delivers its benefits independently, but it is the perfect addition to the well established benefits of cranberry to support bladder, kidney and urinary tract health.

Contains no additives or common allergens Contains no milk, soy, yeast, corn, wheat, gluten, sodium, salt, fat, cholesterol, color, preservative, common allergens genetically modified ingredients (GMO) ingredients or manufacturing additives.
