Uva Ursi Leaf Extract Uva Ursi Leaf Extract is used to treat UTI urinary tract infections, cystitis (bladder inflammation) and kidney stones. The hydroquinone derivative, arbutin, is the chief active compound in uva ursi. It is absorbed in the stomach and converted into a substance with antimicrobial, astringent, and disinfectant properties. During urination, as it passes out of the body, it acts on the mucus membranes of the urinary tract to soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and fight infection. Urinary tract and bladder infections are among the most prevalent bacterial infections and can be quite painful. Fifty percent of all women are confronted by these unpleasant infections at some point in their lives. The disorder is an especially severe problem when it becomes chronic - whereby some patients experience symptoms almost continually. The Escherichia coli bacterium is responsible for 80% of these urinary tract infections. As a nutritional supplement and muscle relaxant, uva ursi leaf extract soothes, strengthens, and tightens irritated and inflamed tissues. Supporting the urinary system, uva ursi promotes healthy bladder, liver and kidney functions. Acute urinary tract infections are very common, involving at least 15% of females at some point in their lives. It can occur at any age and is about twenty times more common in women than men. This is because the urethra is much shorter in women than in men, so allowing infective organisms easier access to the bladder. Such ascending infections are usually announced by discomfort at the urethral opening and as the condition progresses, the irritation travels upwards. 63-7 Uva Ursi 460mg 100 capsules $12.95 For a complete list of Superb Herbs' products, visit our Site Directory A - J and K - Z. | Aloe Vera | Apple Cider Vinegar | Ashwagandha | Barley | Bilberry Eyebright | Black Cohosh | Black Walnut | Blueberry Leaf Tea | Butchers Broom | Chastetree | Chlorella | Chlorophyll | Cranberry | Damiana | Dandelion Root | Dong Quai | Echinacea | Eucalyptus | Fenugreek Thyme | Feverfew | Flax Seed Oil | Garlic | Ginger | Ginkgo Biloba | Ginseng Siberian | Golden Seal | Gotu Kola | Green Tea | Guggul | Hawthorn Berries | Huperzine A | Hyaluronic Acid | Hydroxy Tryptophan | Jiaogulan | Kelp | Licorice Root | Maca | Melatonin | MSM | Olive Leaf Extract | Omega 3 Fish Oil | Sarsaparilla | Saw Palmetto | Spirulina | St. John's Wort | Stevia | Tea Tree Oil | Uva Ursi | Valerian Root | Yew | Herbal Formulas | Herbal Teas | DHEA | Single Herbs | Hoodia | Fo Ti | Ginseng | Beta-Sitosterol | Respiratory Plus | Superfoods | | Return Home | Health Conditions | Superb Herbs | Vitamins Minerals Aminos | Natural Medicine | Men's Health | Site Directory Contact US | Links | Health Blog | |
