A YORK manufacturer has added a new product to its natural health range - with a charity donation made for every sale.

SC Nutra, the natural health food supplement manufacturer and retailer, has launched an ‘instant’ granulated form of its Waterfall D-Mannose supplement.

Five pence from each sale will go to Bladder Health UK, a support charity helping people with chronic bladder illness.

SC Nutra, formerly Sweet Cures, researches and develops natural health supplements. D-Mannose supports all-round bladder health, commonly used to ease symptoms of cystitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis and other conditions.

The Waterfall D-Mannose instant sachets offer a quick, on-the go option, supplied in a 3g size, in packs of 12, containing 99 per cent less plastic than the tubs.

Marketing director Dave Smith, pictured, said: “Our sponsorship of Bladder Health will help highlight the charity to sufferers of cystitis and UTIs. We hope with the help of Bladder Health UK, we can support sufferers with the advice and support they need.”

Suzanne Evans, business director at Bladder Health UK said: “We’re delighted SC Nutra is donating 5p for every pack sold of their Waterfall D-Mannose range. Donations such as these help us support thousands of cystitis and urinary tract suffers all over the UK.

“From our member feedback we know that Waterfall D-Mannose supports overall bladder health and may play a role in flushing out the E.coli bacteria responsible for 90% of all bladder infections.

“The new Waterfall D-Mannose Instant product is a fantastic addition, making it far easier for sufferers to carry a sachet or two in a pocket or handbag.”
