How does Urinary Tract Cleanse & Protect work?Updated 21 days ago
Recurrent UTIs can be caused by bacterial adhesion, bladder inflammation, and poor kidney health. UTIs can be painful and frequent, but they are nothing to be ashamed about and are treatable. It's also important to look out for early symptoms like frequent urination, burning during urination, pelvic pain and fever.
Semaine’s Urinary Tract Cleanse & Protect was researched and formulated to support urinary health. It contains two key ingredients: cranberry phytosome and hibiscus extract, both of which have been studied for their ability to support bladder function.
Here’s how it supports you:
Cranberry Phytosome: A More Effective Form of Cranberry
Cranberry has long been used to support urinary health, primarily due to its proanthocyanidins (PACs), which help prevent bacteria like E. coli from adhering to the bladder wall. However, standard cranberry extracts have limited bioavailability, meaning much of the active ingredient is not absorbed efficiently.
Anthocran® Phytosome is a patented cranberry extract designed for enhanced absorption. In a randomized controlled trial, 120 mg of this ingredient significantly reduced bacterial growth in urine by 55% within 12 hours compared to a control group. Additionally, the study found that 100% of participants remained UTI-free three months after stopping the supplement, suggesting long-term protective benefits.
Hibiscus Extract: Supporting Kidney & Bladder Health
Hibiscus is widely recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in the kidneys and urinary tract. It has been shown to help reduce calcium oxalate retention, which may lower the risk of kidney stone formation—a common factor in recurrent UTIs. Additionally, hibiscus has mild diuretic properties, which may help flush out bacteria from the bladder, further supporting urinary tract health.
Together, these two ingredients provide a targeted, science-backed approach to urinary wellness.
