Researchers investigated whether D-mannose could prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in individuals at risk. The study found that D-mannose does not reduce the occurrence of UTIs, challenging its effectiveness as a preventive treatment.
This finding provides valuable clarity for those considering D-mannose as a potential option, helping both patients and clinicians make more informed decisions about UTI prevention strategies.
The study was funded by the School for Primary Care Research Project No. 385
