Highlights
- Helps prevent recurrent bladder and urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Key Benefits
- Treats and prevents recurring cystitis and UTIs by inhibiting E. coli's ability to attach to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract
- Acts as a diuretic to flush out the bladder and urinary tract
- Reduces dependence to antibiotics
- Synergistic formulation provides the following therapeutic benefits:
- Prevents adhesion of E. coli to the urinary tract wall (Cranberry extract)
- "Coats" the E. coli so that it cannot bind to the bladder and urinary tract cells to cause infections (D-Mannose)
- Turns the urinary tract and bladder walls into anti-adhesive facilitating the flushing of E. coli bacteria through regular urination (Grape Seed Extract)
- Inhibits the growth of E. coli in the urinary tract (Garlic)
While Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is normal bacteria found in every intestinal tract, it can have a disruptive effect on health when found in the urinary tract. In fact, 80-90% of all bladder infections (cystitis) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be attributed to E. coli being present in the urinary tract. This condition is 50 times more common in women and girls than in men. E. coli bacteria can also be present in the vagina, and migrate into the urethra and onward to the bladder, which is why many women end up with bladder infections.
