Merchient’s ingredient library
The library gives no supported wording for D-mannose, because no listed source supports one at a dose. Avoid wording that names or implies a disease, a drug or a treatment, such as “Prevents or treats urinary tract infections (UTIs)”.
Also called: Mannose
Reviewed
Not legal advice. This guide shows the wording that published evidence supports at a daily dose; it is not a ruling on any claim. Your own product, its form and dose, and your own evidence still need to match the wording you use.
