Fish oils reduce hunger in overweight and obese volunteers on a weight loss diet - From the Department of Physiology and Nutrition at University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain comes the news that long chain omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) are considered nutritional factors with a potential to modulate food intake. Thus, the aim of the current study was to determine whether appetite could be affected by long chain fatty acids when included in a calorie-restricted diet to treat overweight or obesity.
One in five women develops a urinary tract infection (UTI) during her lifetime. Cranberry juice contains chemicals which inhibit the activity of E. coli - the bacteria most often responsible for cystitis.
The chemicals, called condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins, do this by stopping the bacteria from sticking to mucosal surfaces - the surfaces which line the bladder and bowel. They may have this effect on other bacteria too. This helps to clear bacteria from the urinary tract. Cranberry is now available in a high potency soft gel capsule.
Each softgel capsule contains
• Vaccinium macrocarpon equivalent to 60,000 mg • Ascorbic acid 100mg • Uva Ursi equivalent to 1500mg
Rationale for Cranberry Softgel
Prevents the adherence of harmful bacteria to the bladder wall
Infection such as cystitis can rapidly deplete the bodies vitamin C stores
During times of chemical, emotional, psychological or physiological stress the urinary system excretes vitamin C at a significantly increased rate thereby elevating the body’s need for vitamin C during these times.
A highly effective antioxidant for times of stress
Contains Uva Ursi which has been shown to have an antibacterial effect in the bladder
Claims for cranberry Soft Gel
Helps relieve pain and burning sensation
May assist in promoting urinary tract health
