This product may have the following benefits

May help symptoms of:

• Cystitis
• Urinary tract infections

Cystitis is the term given to inflammation of the bladder. It arises most commonly as a result of bacterial infection but may also be caused by fungal infections and dietary factors.

Infections of the bladder may 'track' upwards towards the ureters and kidneys, giving more generalised infections of the urinary tract.

Symptoms of cystitis include urinary frequency, burning or 'scalding' on passing urine, pain in the groin and a desire to pass water even though the bladder is empty.

Urva-ursi works as a urinary antiseptic. Its action is of benefit in cystitis caused by bacteria or fungi. It is more likely to be of help if the urine is alkaline (increase vegetables and fruits, except citrus fruit, and decrease protein, avoid tea, coffee, sugar, alcohol and soft drinks).

Bioforce Uva-ursi Complex also contains Echinacea for the immune system.
