Same day dispatch for D-Mannose!

What is D-Mannose?

Please note: Due to huge recent manufacturing cost increases, we have had to increase our prices for the first time in over four years. 23/11/2011

Natural D-Mannose is totally safe to take and has no known side-effects. D-Mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar, closely related (in chemical terms) to glucose and is found in small quantities in some fruits, such as cranberries. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are made by our bodies; if we consume large amounts, it is promptly excreted into the urine, which is the reason why taking D-Mannose helps heal and maintain a healthy bladder.

Why take Natural D-Mannose?

As a glyconutrient, D-Mannose has many health benefits, but its ability to help maintain a healthy bladder and kidneys is the property most researched. Unfortunately, we are not legally allowed to inform you of these benefits as this would be construed as 'making claims', so we suggest you investigate D-Mannose yourself on the internet as there is much valuable information to be found.

See this Healthy Pages Article which explains how D-Mannose offers cystitis relief.

D-Mannose is a harmless natural sugar, safe for anyone (male or female) as well as small children and pregnant women. Since it is absorbed in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract and never reaches the intestines, it doesn't disrupt the normal bacterial growth in that area. Also due to the speed at which it is excreted in the urine, it can be safely taken by diabetics.

Natural D-Mannose vs. Synthetic

Up until a few years ago, D-Mannose could ONLY be made synthetically in a laboratory, as no method for readily producing Natural D-Mannose was available. That process was finally discovered and mastered. We now import Natural D-Mannose into the U.K. Why is Natural better than Synthetic? We use a simple analogy as an answer. Nature is generally 'pretty perfect' and our bodies often respond better to just natural substances. Our product is simply pure D-Mannose with no fillers, additives or preservatives and is of the highest quality. The body knows what is natural, so give it the best chance to do what it does best. If you find 'cheap' mannose it may well be synthetic and you can taste the difference - it will generally be slightly bitter instead of sweet after taste.

How To Use Natural D-Mannose?

While D-Mannose is safe for long-term use, it does not necessarily need to be taken for long periods of time. Take one teaspoon every couple of hours until relief from bladder infection is felt, then drop down to a couple of teaspoons per day until you feel back to normal. It can then be taken at a lower dose as a preventative or simply periodically, as and when you feel you need it. The normal dosage is a level teaspoon (approx. 2 grams) at a time.

D-Mannose is available as a powder and being a sugar it has a mild, sweet, inoffensive taste. It can be mixed with juice or milk or tea but is most rapidly absorbed when taken with water. Ensure enough liquid is taken that it is absorbed but not so much that it is too diluted. This is normally around ½ pint.

Each 50 gram supply of Natural D-Mannose comes in a food grade grip seal bag which closes easily for optimum storage.

Probiotic supplements following antibiotic treatment for cystitis

If this is not the first time you've had cystitis, then you may well have taken one or many courses of antibiotics. As you are probably aware, although they do help kill off the bacteria causing the infection, they also drastically reduce your numbers of beneficial or friendly bacteria that live in your gut, vagina and respiratory tract. The loss of these unfortunately leave you more susceptible to future bladder infections, and can lead to digestive problems. To help combat this problem, it is ideal to replace the beneficial bacteria with a probiotic supplement. See here for more info.

Express Delivery of your Natural D-Mannose?

We understand that your symptoms probably mean you will be in a hurry to get your product. So, all size options are delivered free of charge within the UK and are dispatched same day on orders received by 4pm by 1st Class Mail, so you will normally receive your order within 24 to 48 hours.

If preferred we can also offer a 'Next Working Day "Guaranteed" Service', at the costs quoted above. These fees are in addition to any other applicable delivery charges. If you would prefer the surety of this service, just give us a call on 0844 504 9999 or choose these options and checkout online.

Express Delivery Terms

Next Day is only applicable on orders placed by 2pm Monday to Thursday. Orders after 2pm on these days may still go that day but we can't promise this. If not, they will go the next day for delivery the following working day after that. Orders placed on Friday may or may not be delivered on Saturday, we can not influence this.

Orders placed Saturday or Sunday will be despatched on Monday for delivery Tuesday. Note that we say guaranteed with quotes because we don't control Royal Mail strikes, vans breaking down, the postman taking a day off, extreme weather and so on. Refunds on these surcharges are not possible unless we did not dispatch in time, something we do control.

So for clarity, if you order before 2pm Mon-Fri and we did despatch it in time (as evident from tracking number you will receive) but Royal Mail did not deliver the next working day, we do not refund the surcharge as we still had to put extra effort into your express order. Please do feel free to call with any questions relating to the product or delivery.

For coverage of next day delivery and further information, see the Royal Mail website here.
