FAQs
Targeted supplements and probiotics help prevent bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract and can therefore prevent recurrent UTIs.
Women have a shorter urethra, which makes them predisposed to UTIs because bacteria can spread faster into the bladder. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, and menopause also increase susceptibility.
To support urinary well-being, D-mannose, Cranberry extract, and probiotics are used to get rid of dangerous bacteria and maintain a balanced microbiome.
Natural supplements for UTIs, probiotics, and increasing hydration can help alleviate symptoms of mild UTIs.
