Mannose

Mannose is a type of sugar naturally found in small amounts in foods such as fruits and vegetables. It plays a key role in the body’s immune system and cellular functions by helping cells communicate and recognize each other. Mannose is also used as a supplement to help prevent or treat urinary tract infections by preventing bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract walls. Unlike common sugars like glucose, mannose is less sweet and is processed differently in the body. It supports health by maintaining proper cell functions and immune responses without significantly impacting blood sugar levels.
