Natrogix Cranberry Concentrate 500mg Urinary Tract Health

Cranberry is used for prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections, kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, to prevent urinary catheter blockage. Cranberry is also used in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), benign prostatic hyperplasia, colds, flu, coronary artery diseases, metabolic syndrome, Helicobacter Pylori, scurvy, pleurisy, as a diuretic, antiseptic. Some clinical studies show that drinking cranberry juice or cranberry extract can reduce the risk of recurrent UTI in some patients. A meta-analysis of clinical studies suggests that taking cranberry may reduce the frequency of UTIS in women with recurrent infection by 35 - 38%. Why cranberries? Because it kills E. coli in the bladder and prevents it from attaching to the bladder walls. As I said to the doctor, cystitis provokes 99% of it is E. coli. Most importantly, a natural product in high concentrations. When you open the jar, smell of cranberries.

I am going to warn you upfront that my review is a little TMI. However, I think as women we should be able to talk about female health issues without being embarrassed. I became a wheelchair user several years ago and as a result, I have to use a straight catheter to urinate. This puts me at a much higher risk for developing a UTI. My doctor suggested taking a cranberry supplement to help protect my urinary tract from bacteria. The way that it works is that it helps balance the pH of your urine and helps prevent bacteria from latching onto your bladder. I realize that most people don't have the same issues as I do because of the catheter, but that doesn't make you infection proof. Bacteria is everywhere. Our bodies try to keep it in check by allowing good bacteria to protect against bad bacteria. However, this delicate balance can be thrown off by many things such as sex, poor diet, and antibiotics just to name a few. Many of you have probably heard that cranberry juice is good for UTI prevention, but did you know that there is only a small amount of cranberry in the juice? It is mostly water, Apple juice and sugar. You may as well drink a soda. This supplement gives you a huge amount of cranberry without any added sugar, gluten, artificial sweeteners or coloring. This would be a great addition to anyone's diet, but it is essential for women or anyone else who is prone to UTIs. I did receive a discount for the purpose of testing and reviewing. However this has no bearing on my comments or opinions expressed. I have no connection to the seller or manufacturer. As always, my reviews are completely honest and unbiased.
