What types of bacteria is Waterfall D-Mannose effective against?
A. It appears to be effective against the most common bacterial urinary infection agents (bacteriuria). In particular, it seems to work best against E.coli (the cause of 90%+ of urine infections) and Klebsiella, (the cause of about 5% of urine infections). In fact, common sense says it must work against these bacteria because of the way mannose is known to occupy the mannose receptors that E.coli and Klebsiella rely on for attachment, so bacteria in the urine attach to the free mannose in the urine and can’t attach to you. It may also work to tease off attached bacteria through bio-molecular attraction, and should also fill any vacant mannose receptors of your own tissue cells in your bladder and urinary tract, preventing fresh bacteria from attaching. We are also getting reports that the product is proving useful against interstitial cystitis.
