D-mannose is an epimeric polymer of glucose at the C-2 position and exists in nature as a component of mannan. It is about 60% as sweet as sucrose.

D-mannose also has the functions of regulating the immune system, promoting wound healing, anti-inflammation, inhibiting tumor growth, and avoiding bacterial infection.
