Pharmacology

This capsule is a unique preparation with extract of Cranberry, Saw Palmetto, Pygeum Bark, Tomato & Uva Ursi to support urinary health including Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) including for both men and women. Cranberry is a North American plant commonly used for reduction in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and recurrent (UTIs). It is clinically shown to improve Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men at daily dosing. Saw palmetto exerts anti-estrogenic activity, increases urinary flow rate, decreases residual urine, decreases painful urination, decreases nocturia & anti-inflammatory activities. Saw Palmetto also helps with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in women over 50 years old. Pygeum's benefits center mostly on the urinary system. This extends to its benefits for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and bladder infections. Tomatoes have diuretic properties and help to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and bladder cancer. Uva ursi is used primarily for urinary tract disorders, including infections of the kidney, bladder, and urethra; swelling (inflammation) of the urinary tract; increased urination; painful urination; and urine that contains excess uric acid or other acid.

Cranberry contains Type-A proanthocyanidin which helps to treat Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) by inhibiting the adherence of bacteria to bladder and urethra. Saw palmetto helps in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, increases urinary flow rate and anti-inflammatory activities by Inhibiting action of 5
a-reductase, which catalyzes the metabolism of testosterone to DHT, due to the free fatty acid content of the fruit's lipophilic extracts. Pygeum contains chemicals like (atraric acid, ferulic acid, and beta-sitosterol) which act as 5 Alpha reductase inhibitor.These chemicals also help to reduce urinary tract disorders. Tomatoes contain potassium, also have diuretic properties, and helps to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and bladder cancer. Uva ursi contains arbutin, a hydroquinone glucoside which can reduce bacteria in the urine, increase urine flow, and reduce swelling.
