Company History & Time Line

SC Nutra formerly Sweet Cures, was founded in 2002 and started with one product – Waterfall D-Mannose Powder. It was the first D-mannose product uniquely sourced from birch to be made available on the UK market.

In 2002, the business started a simple mail-order service. It quickly became established with medical professionals and charities as a market leader for supplements containing rare sugars such as D-mannose.

More recently, SC Nutra opened a business in Paris, has won multiple awards and continues to get recognition all over the world.

Our company ethos is to produce supplements with only the highest quality ingredients, free from bulking agents and fillers. Something we're committed to and promise never to change.

There are now 12 versions of Waterfall D-Mannose available, offering a range of formats and packaging options, such as tablets, powder, premeasured sachets, naturally flavoured, and dedicated ranges for children and pets.

As part of our 20th-year celebrations, we are launching two brand new Waterfall D-Mannose variants, which have both had fantastic feedback during our product testing and evaluation stages.

How We’re Celebrating

We wouldn't have made it 20 years without the support of our customers. That's why we've lined up a few special offers, exclusive new products, and competitions this month as a little way to say thank you.

It's incredible to think of all the customers we've spoken to and supported over the years. Be it retailers who have tirelessly supported our products in health food shops and pharmacies or customers who use the product and help us by recommending us to friends, following us on social media, or providing us with feedback. We know we're nothing without this support, and it's why it's so important during these celebrations to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last 20 years.

thank you
