AlchePharma's Cranberry + D-Mannose combination offers powerful nutritional support based on two very well studied naturally occurring substances. D- Mannose at 1000 mg. Cranberry Fruit 37:1 Concentrate at 4% Proanthocyanidins  Cranberry Several studies indicate that Cranberry helps prevent UTIs of the bladder and urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder), especially for women who have frequent UTIs. In one study of older women, cranberry juice reduced the number of bacteria in the bladder compared to placebo. Another study showed that younger women with a history of frequent UTIs who took cranberry capsules had fewer UTIs compared to those who took a placebo. A 2006 pilot study looked at twelve women between the ages of 25 and 70 with a history of UTIs to determine if a concentrated cranberry extract could prevent recurrent UTIs. During the study of administering the cranberry extract, none of the twelve subjects had a UTI. After a two-year follow-up, eight of the twelve women who continued to take the cranberry extract reported no UTI and no adverse effects. It was concluded that a cranberry preparation with a high phenolic content may completely prevent UTIs in women who are subject to recurrent infections.  Two studies that cranberry may also prevent the bacteria Helicobacter pylori from attaching to stomach walls. H. pylori can cause stomach ulcers, so cranberries may play a role in preventing stomach ulcers.     What is D-Mannose? D-Mannose, is a simple six-carbon sugar. D-Mannose is a stereoisomer that is a mirror image of Glucose and naturally occurs as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) in fruit like blueberries and Cranberries, as well as in other plants and fungi.   Mannose exists in two forms - alpha and beta. The alpha form is mild and sweet, while the beta form is bitter. The natural manufacturing methods for Mannose results in a mixture of these two forms; yielding a product that is mildly sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste.   How can a simple sugar like Mannose be good for me?  Studies suggest that Mannose may maintain and support a healthy urinary tract by blocking the adhesion of foreign particles to the surface of the host tissue. In most cases, foreign particles utilize tiny hair-like projections on their surface called fimbrium. Protruding from the tips of these fimbrium are glycoproteins called lectins. It's these lectins that bind to the surface tissues that line the urinary tract.  When sufficient Mannose is consumed, the excess molecules of this sugar present in the urine attach to the lectins, thereby blocking foreign particles from adhering to the tissues of the bladder and forming new colonies. The Mannose-bound foreign particles are subsequently flushed away through the urinary tract.   Does Mannose act like sucrose once digested? Although D-Mannose is a simple sugar and is absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, it is absorbed in a slower rate than most sugars and is not readily converted to glycogen for storage. A substantial amount of D-Mannose is absorbed into the bloodstream and, after passing through the kidneys and bladder, is excreted into the urine. How do you monitor the quality of your Mannose? It is not certain just what is a "perfect" alpha-to beta- Mannose ratio, but an initial sweet taste indicates the ratio is sufficiently good. Mannose is analyzed to determine its purity. This is to preclude any dilution with other sugars, such as dextrose or sucrose. However, this analysis does not differentiate between the alpha and beta forms.  Does Mannose work like an antibiotic?  Mannose has no antibiotic properties and will not kill existing infections. If you have persistent burning and/or urgency symptoms, please seek professional medical evaluation to determine if these symptoms are caused a urinary tract infection.   SUGGESTED USE:  Take 2 capsules, up to 3 times per day or as directed by a health care professional.   Label

The health benefits of omega- 3 fats are well documented in the scientific literature. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of the omega-3 fats, EPA and DHA. DHA is important for the structure and function of cell membranes particularly those of the nervous system.* DHA is critical for normal, healthy brain structure and function.* EPA is found in small amounts in the brain, but is required for numerous regulatory functions throughout the body. EPA helps support a healthy inflammatory response and optimal cardiovascular function.* Cardiovascular benefits of omega-3’s include the ability to support a normal, healthy heartbeat, normal blood clotting as well as healthy blood triglyceride levels.*   Features: High potency Omega -3 fish oil. Contains 300 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and 200 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Fish oil is molecularly distilled to remove potential toxins. Sourced from deep sea sardines and anchovies. Fish oil complies with strict European standards for heavy metals, PCB’s, dioxins, pesticides and other unwanted compounds. Benefits: Enteric Coating protects the softgel from the hash environment of the stomach, and then travels to the small intestine where it is digested and its fatty acids released and absorbed into the body. This prevents a fishy aftertaste and odor, and is helpful to sensitive individuals. Convenient and easy way to get important omega-3 fatty acids. Numerous studies demonstrate the powerful cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 fats, particularly EPA.* EPA has the potential to regulate the production of prostaglandins that have a beneficial effect on inflammatory processes in the body.* EPA helps support normal, healthy blood circulation by helping to regulate blood clotting processes.* EPA helps support normal, healthy cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism.* DHA is essential for normal fetal and infant brain development, and supports normal, healthy brain function and vision throughout life.* DHA supports the structure of cell membranes, particularly those of nerve cells.

B-vitamins are essential nutrients involved in most metabolic reactions. They play an important role in energy production, particularly from the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These essential nutrients are also important for the production of healthy cells, hormones, neurotransmitters, and other biomolecules. They are needed for healthy nerve, heart, brain, muscle, and other important cell or tissue function. The B-vitamins are water-soluble and therefore, not stored to any significant extent in the body. This is why we need to ensure adequate intakes of these nutrients on a daily basis. Due to the excess consumption of refined and processed foods, the average person does not consume optimal amounts of these nutrients. Our Certified Organic Whole Food B-Complex provides these key nutrients in a natural food form while also incorporating an organic food blend.   Features USDA Organic and Vegan Certified. 850mg Organic Food Complex Blend including quinoa sprouts, rice protein, yeast, blackstrap molasses, lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, bromelain, papain, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, tart cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry. Free of major food allergens. Contains NO: dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. Whole Food, Non-GMO, Simple, and Clean Excipients.   Benefits Thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin are essential for the production of energy from food. They also help support nerve and heart function and help the body produce antioxidants.† Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, chemicals that are essential for normal, healthy brain and nervous system function. B6 also helps support the metabolism of amino acids, including homocysteine, which when elevated may increase one’s risk for heart disease.† Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy blood cells by supporting DNA and RNA metabolism, and both help support normal, healthy levels of homocysteine; a recognized cardiovascular “toxin”.† Pantothenic acid is needed to produce energy from fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
