Dietary supplement that helps reduce the symptoms & frequency of urinary tract infections & enhances the health of the urinary system.
The term urinary tract infection describes infections of the urinary system caused by harmful microorganisms.
The urinary system is responsible for the production and excretion of urine.
It includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
If the immune system is weakened and microorganisms enter the urinary system from the urethra and are not eliminated in a timely manner, they cause an infection.
The infection can occur in any of the organs of the urinary system.
Urinary tract infections are more common in women, due to their anatomy, as the urethra is shorter and located very close to both the vagina and the anus.
Urinary tract infections occur when bacteria, mainly Escherichia coli (E. coli), from the colon and rectum enter the urinary system through the urethra.
These bacteria attach to the wall of the urinary tract and once attached, they can multiply and cause urinary tract infections.
Approximately 50% of the female population will experience a urinary tract infection at some stage in their lives.
Although men do not get urinary tract infections as often, their treatment and cure can take longer.
The elderly and people with diabetes are also susceptible to urinary tract infections.
Regular consumption of cranberry juice is a method of preventing urinary tract infections since studies show that proanthocyanidins (substances contained in cranberries) prevent microbes from settling on the walls of the urethra.
Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are a group of bioactive molecules found in cranberries and are of particular importance for urinary tract health.
Studies have shown that a daily dose of 36 mg of bioactive PACs exerts anti-adhesive effects and prevents bacteria such as E. coli from adhering to the bladder walls.
Bacteria do not grow to cause infection as they are washed away with the flow of urine.
Since this mechanism does not kill bacteria, it is unlikely to lead to the creation of cranberry-resistant bacteria.
