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 phenol arbutin (hydroquinone beta-D-glucoside) and has long been used as a urinary antiseptic. The aglycone hydroquinone of arbutin, which is released in alkaline urine, is believed to provide its antimicrobial actions. In a clinical trial, women with recurrent cystitis had no infections over a period of one year when they consumed 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 the formation of bacterial biofilms 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 juniper extract, known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant and diuretic properties, and which has been shown to prevent the adhesion and growth of several bacterial species, including E. coli, in vitro. A 6:1 Echinacea purpurea extract supports healthy urinary function by modulating innate and specific immune activity. Additionally, it has been shown to have both antiviral and antibacterial properties.
