D-mannose

D-Mannose (CAS 3458-28-4), also sold under the name Demannose, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide sourced primarily from plant materials such as cranberries and birch trees.

In commercial applications, it functions as a humectant, mild sweetener, and bioactive ingredient across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care markets for various industrial uses.

In dietary supplements and functional foods, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, and powders targeting urinary tract health, which is one of its most commercially established end uses.

Food and beverage manufacturers incorporate it as a low-glycemic sweetener and nutrient additive in health-oriented products. Personal care formulators use it as a humectant in skin creams.

Its moisture-binding capacity supports product performance claims in serums and hair care products. Pharmaceutical manufacturers also use it as an excipient and active ingredient in specialized medical nutrition.

The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder and is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications. Recognized grades include USP and FCC standards.

Pharmaceutical-grade material meets stricter purity thresholds relevant to supplement and drug product manufacturing. Bulk supply is standard in kilogram and metric ton quantities for global shipping.

High-purity grades typically exceed 98% assay to ensure consistency in sensitive formulations. This ensures the material meets the rigorous demands of the modern chemical and food industries.
