HelloPharmacist Scorecard of D-Mannose 500 mg by Source Naturals
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: D-mannose, a naturally occurring simple sugar. Each capsule delivers 500 mg.
The remaining ingredients — gelatin, maltodextrin, dibasic calcium phosphate, silica, and magnesium stearate — are inactive and serve as the capsule shell and binding agents.
Does it work?
Leans against
D-mannose is likely effective for carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b, a rare metabolic condition. For urinary tract infections (UTIs), the evidence suggests it is possibly ineffective.
If you're considering this for a UTI, talk it over with your doctor about whether it's the right choice for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Higher doses — especially a single dose over 200 mg per kilogram of body weight — are more likely to cause osmotic diarrhea. There isn't enough reliable safety data during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Safety while breastfeeding is not well studied, so caution is advised; talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for D-mannose. That doesn't mean none exist — if you're on any medications, it's worth a quick check-in with your pharmacist or doctor before you start.
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 is likely effective for a specific rare metabolic disorder but possibly ineffective for UTIs. It's generally well tolerated short-term, though bloating and diarrhea can occur.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
