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 Taurine Triggers Gut Memory D octors think some of the discomforts of menopause come from declining levels of estrogen. In two earlier, shorter studies, resveratrol—a phytoestrogen—improved pain and feelings of well-being in postmenopausal women. In this longer-term third arm of the study, 125 healthy postmenopausal women took a placebo or 75 mg of resveratrol twice daily, in alternating, 12-month phases. Compared to the placebo phase, during the resveratrol phase, women reported 18 percent less pain from age-related osteoarthritis and improved quality of life. Commenting on the findings, doctors said “Within the same study, we observed fewer hot flushes, night sweats, heart discomfort, sleep problems, and muscle and joint discomfort with resveratrol. Although we don’t know the cause of chronic pain in post- menopause, we believe declining estrogen levels may be a factor.” Reference: Menopause; 2020, Vol. 28, No. 1, 40-9 Resveratrol Can Reduce Pain and Improves Quality of Life in Menopause T aurine helps the body digest fats and occurs naturally in the gut. Doctors know that gut microbiota—microorganisms that are part of the immune system—can protect against infection, but until now, did not know how. In the lab, mice fed taurine resisted infection when exposed to a pneumonia-like antibiotic-resistant bacterium. Doctors transferred these microbiota to germ-free mice, who were then able to resist the pneumonia-like infection. Doctors were able to identify an infection fighting bacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, triggered by taurine.
