98% D-Mannose Powder CAS 3458-28-4
What is D-Mannose?
D-Mannose is a monosaccharide with a structure related to glucose. It participates in many metabolic processes, especially in the glycosylation of certain proteins, and plays an important role in many tissues and organs. It is widely present in nature. There are a large number of polysaccharides with D-mannose units in plants and oligosaccharides in plant cell walls. Some fruit peels also contain free D-mannose. At the same time, D-mannose is also an important carbohydrate compound in animals and has multiple physiological functions.
D-mannose is gradually entering the public eye with its unique sweetness and multiple health benefits. Its sweetness is about 60% of sucrose. It is a low-calorie functional sugar. It is undoubtedly a good choice for modern people who pursue a healthy diet.
Main Functions of D-Mannose
Support the immune system
It can promote the function of the immune system and help the body resist the invasion of bacteria and viruses. It can activate macrophages and enhance their phagocytic ability, thereby enhancing the body's immunity.
Regulate blood sugar
It can slowly release energy and help maintain the stability of blood sugar levels. For diabetics or people who need to control blood sugar, it may be an ideal sugar substitute.
Promote intestinal health
It can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, thereby improving the balance of intestinal flora and promoting intestinal health. It can also increase intestinal peristalsis, improve digestive function, and prevent constipation.
Relieve joint pain
It is helpful to relieve joint pain and improve joint function. It can promote the repair and regeneration of joint cartilage, reduce joint inflammation, and thus improve the symptoms of joint pain and stiffness.
Antioxidant
It has a certain antioxidant effect, can remove free radicals in the body, protect cells from damage, and delay the aging process.
Promote metabolism
