Echinachia
A herb well known for its immune-boosting properties, echinacea decreases inflammation in the body. It helps with long term health while also fighting off acute infection when it presents.
Cranberry
Boasting a strong nutrient and antioxidant profile, cranberries have been shown to treat urinary tract infections, particularly in women. They contain active ingredient proanthocyanidins (PACs), which prevent bacteria from attaching to the cells that line the urinary tract.
Bearberry Leaf
Bearberry Leaf (Uva Ursi) is a herbal extract that has historically been used to treat UTIs. With anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, this natural remedy can also help to alleviate bladder infections.
Zinc
Zinc plays a key role in overall health, helping the immune system to fend off viruses and illness. It inhibits bacterial growth on cells and fights Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli (UPEC), the major cause of UTIs.
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus & Lactobacillus Reuteri
These powerful probiotics are the most studied strains for women’s intimate health. Along with preventing the formation of vaginal bacteria and yeast, they are also effective in preventing the formation of UTIs.
