Fight back against recurring urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections with this powerful blend of research-proven natural ingredients!
For a UTI to occur, bacteria must invade and stick to the lining of the bladder. We use ingredients that prevent bacteria from sticking, and improve the vaginal bacterial balance (to prevent not just UTIs, but bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections as well!).
Most urinary tract formulas contain only PACs, probiotics, or D-Mannose. We combined them all in one pill with several other urinary tract health superstars, and without anything artificial.
Attack from all angles!
Bonus benefit: cranberry + probiotics promote stomach health by suppressing H. pylori bacteria, and oral health by suppressing cavity-forming bacteria!
What's in it:
D-Mannose
: A naturally occurring carbohydrate found in small quantities in fruits and vegetables. It binds with harmful microorganisms in the urine so they can't attach to the bladder wall.
Cranberry Extract with 25% Proanthocyanidins (PAC)
: PAC are powerful antioxidants that have been shown to interfere with E. coli's and h. pylori's ability to stick to the bladder and gut walls, so they are cleansed right out!
Vitamin D3
: Strengthens the bladder wall. Around half of people have a vitamin D deficiency, which can contribute to recurring UTIs.
Potassium Ascorbate
: A buffered (or non-acidic) form of vitamin C that limits the growth of harmful bacteria. It's also an antioxidant and supports the immune system.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri
: Promote good vaginal health. These two probiotics have been shown to be the most helpful in preventing urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections.
Other ingredients (less than 3% of our formulation):
Organic bamboo silica
: Bamboo is one of the most potent natural sources of silicon, which improves the appearance of hair, skin, and nails. Why Not Natural uses it to prevent the ingredients from sticking together, for better absorption.
Organic Rice Extract Blend
: a natural rice extract that's often taken as a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is responsible for hundreds of functions, and is a common deficiency. Why Not Natural uses it as a natural alternative to silicon dioxide.
How to Take:
All you need are two pills per day! Comes in a jar with 30 servings. Take once a day or as needed, with or without food.
