Five hundred milligrams per capsule is the detail that won us over. It means a daily gram is two capsules, a heavier day is three or four, and you never have to buy a different product to change your dose. Most bottles here lock you into a serving size, whether that is 1,000, 1,300 or 1,500 mg, which is fine until your needs do not match it. Multiply it out and 240 capsules at 500 mg is 120 grams of D-mannose in one bottle, the sort of supply that stops you thinking about reordering for months.
The formula is as plain as it gets, and we count that as a feature: no cranberry, no botanicals, nothing to check against anything else you take. If you want cranberry, you buy it separately and control the amount yourself. NOW's certification list is also the most complete in this group, with Non-GMO Project Verified, kosher, halal, and no gluten, dairy, soy, egg, or nuts, which matters if you are matching a supplement to a restricted diet.
There is nothing fussy about it, which is the point. No flavor to tolerate, no powder to measure, no second ingredient to research. If you want to run a higher dose for a couple of days, you take more capsules; if you want to drop back, you take fewer. Powder is cheaper per gram if you do not mind the ritual, and the Micro Ingredients tub is the one we choose there, but a capsule you can count is why this stays on our counter.
