Please can anyone tell me how to take mannitol powder?

Do you just eat it or mix with drinks? Also if you are diabetic, can you take it?

I mix in coffee. I believe it is fine for diabetics but I’d double check!

I take mine in coffee as helps cross blood/brain barrier. Mannitols main use is as sweetner for diabetic products so it safe to use.

if im eating something that i can put it in, then i do (like berries & cream or applesauce). otherwise i just take a spoonful. its like taking a spoonful of powdered sugar. its not unpleasant.

Weird. It did for me too but I copied the link when originally on that page. Go to their menu, go down to digestive and its there. Called BeanAssist. Very expensive compared to the states.

More than 25 grams a day can give you diarrhoea. It's used in neurology and brain surgery because its osmotic pressure helps to stabilise some proteins and maintain the brains fluid balance. .
