PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Cranberry juice has traditionally been used by naturopaths to treat cystitis. D-mannose is the active ingredient in cranberry juice, and preliminary research suggests that supplemental d-mannose might interfere with the adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract. Potassium citrate is included to alkalanize the urine, thereby creating unfavourable conditions for the growth of E. coli. Uva ursi is widely used to treat uninary tract infections and approved by German commission E. It contains allantoin which helps to strengthen the urinary system and the prostate gland. The product also contains additional allantoin for this reason. Cat’s claw is also a herb used to treat urinary tract infections. Fructo oligo sacharides are included to support intestinal microflora.
