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 Vitamin D in Mothers Improves Child Cognition V itamin C helps defend body cells and tissues from potentially harmful free radical substances which, unopposed, can contribute to destruction of muscle, speeding up age-related decline,” doctors said. Here, doctors calculated skeletal muscle mass and vitamin C levels in 13,000 people, aged 42 to 82. Half the women, and 60 percent of the men were not consuming enough vitamin C. In those with sufficient levels of vitamin C, fat-free mass as a percentage of total body mass was 1.6 percent higher in men and 3.4 percent higher in women, compared to those insufficient in vitamin C. Also, BMI fat-free mass scores were 2.0 percent higher in men and 3.9 percent higher in women, comparing those sufficient in vitamin C to those who were insufficient. “To our knowledge, this is the first study assessing the relation of dietary and circulating vitamin C with loss of skeletal muscle mass,” doctors said. Reference: Journal of Nutrition; 2020, Vol. 150, No. 10, 2789-98 Vitamin C May Maintain Mature Muscle Mass: Men & Women Do Not Get Enough V itamin D plays a critical role in how embryonic cells develop and become specialized brain cells. In this study, doctors measured vitamin D levels in 1,503 healthy women during their second trimester, and followed up with IQ tests of their children at age four to six. Each increase in mothers’ vitamin D level of 10 nanograms per milliliter of blood was linked to a 1.17 higher Full Scale IQ point score; a 1.17 higher Verbal IQ point score; and a 1.03 higher Nonverbal IQ point score, regardless of the race of the parents. Commenting on the findings, doctors believe that adding vitamin D to prenatal nutrition may be especially relevant for Black and dark-skinned women whose greater melanin pigment inhibits vitamin D production, making them more likely to be deficient. Doctors recommend widespread prenatal vitamin D testing.
