Cranberry 4:1 Cranberry is widely used to prevent urinary tract infections. 90 Veggie Caps - Product Code: 60121 Ingredients: Each 400 mg veggie cap contains the equivalent of 1600 mg of raw Berry. Cranberry is widely used to prevent urinary tract infections, and has been used for this purpose for many years. There is research that supports this, although they may not be perfect. The key thing to note, however, is that the evidence supporting cranberry’s ability to “prevent” UTI is much more convincing that any evidence supporting its ability to “treat” UTI’s. For treatment, it can be used as an adjunct to other therapy, but it may not be wise to rely on it as the main agent. In the past, it was thought to work by acidifying the urine, but now we know that there is a substance, a proanthocyanadin, the prevents the adhesion of bacteria to the cells lining the urinary tract. There is another caution regarding cranberry juice. Some women make the mistake of going out an buying cranberry juice, rather than using a cranberry extract. The problem with the juice is that it has a high sugar content. Thus, the benefit of using a supplement where the active constituents of cranberry are concentrated, leaving the sugar behind. Phyto- Tech™ Cranberry 4:1 is ideal for this purpose. Dosage: One to two Capsules daily, or as directed. Drink plenty of water. Complementary Product: • Phyto-Tech™ Urinary Kidney Complex. Cranberry Mannose An herbal nutrient blend designed for those with frequent urinary tract infections. 60 Veggie Caps, Product Code: 67467 Who might benefit from this product? • Those suffering from urinary tract infections. Ingredients: Each two veggie caps contains vitamin C,30 mg, D-Mannose 1000 mg, and Cranberry Fruit 37:1 (min. 4% Proanthocyanidins) 400 mg. Indications: Cranberry is used for prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections and kidney stones. D-mannose has also been used for this purpose. Many feel that the combination of these two ingredients results in a synergistic effectiveness greater than either ingredient by itself. Preliminary research suggests supplemental d-mannose might interfere with the adhesion of Escherichia coli bacteria to the urinary tract, theoretically protecting from some urinary tract infections (UTIs). Bacteria such as Escherichia coli produce lectins, which bind the organism to sugar residues, such as d- mannose, on host epithelial cells. Theoretically, giving supplemental d-mannose can bind the bacteria and prevent attachment to the vaginal and urinary tract lining. Cranberry is thought to work in a similar manner. In vitro tests indicate that d-mannose can partially or completely inhibit binding of around 50% of Escherichia coli strains to epithelial cells. The effect of d-mannose on urinary tract infections in humans remains to be studied. Dosage: Two capsules, up to three times daily, or as directed.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements The Science Behind Elderberry and the Flu C ollagen, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid shown to reduce signs of aging, fine lines, and increase elasticity Many cosmetic and supplement companies claim skin anti-aging benefits, but there is little research to back these claims. This study, conducted in a clinical facility specializing in dermatological testing and analysis, gave 113 women, aged 39 to 59, with visible signs of skin aging, a placebo or 300 mg of hydrolyzed collagen type II, 100 mg of chondroitin sulfate, plus 50 mg of hyaluronic acid, twice per day. After 12 weeks the supplement group saw a 12 percent increase in skin collagen content, and compared to placebo, significantly reduced facial lines and wrinkles, reduced width of "crow's feet," improved skin elasticity, with less redness and dryness. Both the supplement and placebo groups retained the same skin surface water content. Discussing the findings, doctors said, "This landmark research is especially encouraging for women seeking safe, effective options for meeting their skin health and appearance goals, including those considering or already using cosmetic procedures to address skin aging." (Reference: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine; 2019, Vol. 25, No. 5, 12-29) Nutrients and Healthy Skin Elderberry anthocyanins have antiviral effects. Doctors know that elderberry fights flu, but until now, they didn't know how it works. In the lab, doctors applied elderberry to cells before, during, and after infection with the influenza virus. What did they find? Anthocyanins in elderberry, doctors believe, stopped the virus from infecting the cells, and were even more effective at slowing the spread of the virus once cells had already been infected. "Elderberry inhibited the early stages of infection by blocking key viral proteins that attach to and enter host cells," doctors said. And elderberry stimulated cytokines, chemical messengers that help coordinate the immune response to pathogens.
