Urinary-Pro

Management of acute urinary tract infections Contains a unique combination of four herbal extracts that promote healthy urinary function Provides 250 mg of bearberry (uva ursi) per tablet, standardized to 20% arbutin, with diuretic and antimicrobial properties Berberine hydrochloride enhances Nrf2 activity, promoting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects Juniper and berberine extracts both inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation Echinacea purpurea strengthens immune function and provides antiviral support Suitable for vegans Urinary-Pro provides clinical doses of four herbal extracts that support healthy urinary function. A unique combination of bearberry (uva-ursi), juniper, Echinacea purpurea, and berberine extracts promote antimicrobial and antioxidant activity along the urinary tract, inhibiting bacterial growth and adhesion while supporting immune function. Bearberry has the highest natural content of the phenol arbutin (hydroquinone beta-D-glucoside) and has a long history of use as a urinary antiseptic. The hydroquinone aglycone of arbutin, which is released in alkaline urine, is thought to provide its antimicrobial actions. In a clinical trial, women with recurrent cystitis were infection-free over a one-year period when consuming bearberry, compared to 23% of the placebo group. Berberine, well known for its antibacterial properties, has been shown to inhibit the adhesion of E. coli to human bladder cells, as well as bacterial biofilm formation by E. faecalis, in vitro. Berberine has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and protect against oxidative damage, in part by enhancing the activity of nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a key signaling pathway for antioxidant defense.

Urinary-Pro also provides a 4:1 extract of juniper, known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and diuretic properties, and has been shown to prevent the adhesion and growth of several bacterial species, including E. coli, in vitro. A 6:1 extract of Echinacea purpurea supports healthy urinary function by modulating innate and specific immune activity. In addition, it has been shown to have both antiviral and antibacterial properties.
