Overview Whilst they are most commonly known in Australia for their antimicrobial properties, cranberries are also a good source of antioxidants. Cranberry has been shown to help discourage the bacteria that can cause infection, such as E. coli, from adhering to the lining in the bladder or on the wall of the urinary tract. Cranberries have long been used in North America by the indigenous populations as a source of food and as a medicine. A small, red and very tart berry, it is often made more palatable as a drink by mixing with other juices or adding sugar. Recommended amounts of Cranberry juice to reduce the frequency of recurrent UTI s vary from 300 ml to up to 8 cups a day, more than most people would prefer to consume. Henry Blooms has created Cranberry 35,000 Plus in vege capsule form in a simple one a day formulation so you get the benefits of the properties of the cranberry without having to consume the high levels of natural sugar (fructose) in the fruit, or the added sweeteners in some cranberry drinks. Whilst men may also contract UTI s it is far more common in women, due to the shorter length of the female urethra. As many as 30% of women may contract a UTI at some time in their life. There are many types of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI s), the most common being lower UTI s such as cystitis or infection in the bladder. These may be characterised by a burning sensation on urinating, frequent but small amounts of urinating, discoloured and strong smelling urine. In severe cases sufferers may also experience fever and abdominal pain. Directions Adults: Take 1 capsule daily.

The Blackmores difference All nutrients are important during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The following provides additional information on some special nutrients important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, that are in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold. Folic acid – According to guidelines in Australia* this product contains 500 microgram of folic acid, as it is recommended that women of childbearing age take 400-500 μg of folic acid per day for at least one month before pregnancy and for the first 3 months of pregnancy.   *Guidelines for preventive activities in general practice, 8th edn. East Melbourne: Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, 2012. Iodine - Requirement for iodine is increased during the whole pregnancy, especially the first 20 weeks. Australian women are typically not receiving enough iodine. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recommends that pregnant and breast-feeding women take an iodine supplement containing 150 microgram* daily. *NHMRC Public Statement: Iodine supplementation for pregnant and breastfeeding women. NHMRC, 2010. Iron - Approximately one quarter of pregnant women report getting constipated when taking high doses of supplemental iron. That is why Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold contains a low-constipation, low-nausea, gentle on the tummy form of iron. Omega-3 fatty acids - During pregnancy there can be an increased sensitivity to tastes, especially in the first trimester. Odourless fish oil means pregnant women can get the benefits of omega-3s without the fishy aftertaste.  Vitamin D - Vitamin D supports the development of healthy bones and teeth. A review of nutrient intakes in pregnant Australian women suggested that dietary intakes were below recommended levels for vitamin D, while surveys of Australian neonates have shown approximately 40-57% of neonates have insufficient vitamin D levels  B group vitamins - B vitamins support cellular energy production, with vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5 all involved in cellular energy production.
