Cranberry contains strong antioxidant proanthocyanidins (PACs) that are active against E. coli, helping to reduce the frequency of recurrent cystitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to a 2012 Cochrane review, cranberry must be standardised to at least 36mg proanthocyanidins daily in divided doses to effectively reduce the adherence of E. coli to the urinary epithelium and reduce the frequency of UTIs.[2] Divided dosing maintains a stronger urinary concentration of PACs over a longer period, enabling the PACs to maintain their ability to reduce the adhesion of E. coli to the urinary epithelium over 24 hours (figure 2b).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactobacilli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL. plantarum competitively inhibits the proliferation of pathogens in the urogenital and intestinal tracts, allowing good bacteria to flourish.[3] Lactobacilli produce lactic acid, creating an acidic environment in the urogenital tract. Through the creation of an acidic environment, along with competitive inhibition at the D-mannose receptor (figure 2b), they may help to deter the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to the urogenital epithelium. Lactobacilli may also assist in the maintenance of healthy vaginal flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactobacillus plantarum and ellagic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL. plantarum works to liberate ellagic acid found in pomegranate by helping to cleave and break the bonds of indigestable ellagitannin complexes with its tannase activity (figure 1).[4] This frees up the antioxidant ellagic acid, helping it to reduce the ability of urinary E. coli to reproduce by impacting on its DNA replication (figure 2d).[5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2075\/8503\/files\/BioCeuticals_UltraBiotic_Urinary_Care_Figure_2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1587609440\" alt=\"BioCeuticals UltraBiotic Urinary Care Figure 10% off RRP at HealthMasters BioCeuticals\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 stimulates innate cathelicidin production in the urinary epithelium when exposed to pathogenic bacteria (figure 2c).

Cranberry contains strong antioxidant proanthocyanidins (PACs) that are active against E. coli, helping to reduce the frequency of recurrent cystitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to a 2012 Cochrane review, cranberry must be standardised to at least 36mg proanthocyanidins daily in divided doses to effectively reduce the adherence of E. coli to the urinary epithelium and reduce the frequency of UTIs.[2] Divided dosing maintains a stronger urinary concentration of PACs over a longer period, enabling the PACs to maintain their ability to reduce the adhesion of E. coli to the urinary epithelium over 24 hours (figure 2b).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactobacilli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL. plantarum competitively inhibits the proliferation of pathogens in the urogenital and intestinal tracts, allowing good bacteria to flourish.[3] Lactobacilli produce lactic acid, creating an acidic environment in the urogenital tract. Through the creation of an acidic environment, along with competitive inhibition at the D-mannose receptor (figure 2b), they may help to deter the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to the urogenital epithelium. Lactobacilli may also assist in the maintenance of healthy vaginal flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactobacillus plantarum and ellagic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL. plantarum works to liberate ellagic acid found in pomegranate by helping to cleave and break the bonds of indigestable ellagitannin complexes with its tannase activity (figure 1).[4] This frees up the antioxidant ellagic acid, helping it to reduce the ability of urinary E. coli to reproduce by impacting on its DNA replication (figure 2d).[5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2075\/8503\/files\/BioCeuticals_UltraBiotic_Urinary_Care_Figure_2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1587609440\" alt=\"BioCeuticals UltraBiotic Urinary Care Figure 10% off RRP at HealthMasters BioCeuticals\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 stimulates innate cathelicidin production in the urinary epithelium when exposed to pathogenic bacteria (figure 2c).
