Preferred Nutrition UTI E-Drops - 60ml

Why are UTI’s so common?
They are particularly common in women because of the very short urethra; the small tube that goes from the urinary bladder to the outside is much shorter in women than in men, and therefore, since the urinary tract infections, namely E. Coli infections, are often picked up from the bowel anatomically, 90% of urinary tract infections are in women.

What can be taken for prevention?
Luckily, there's a new product that has been very successful in Yugoslavia and other parts of Europe, for the last decade or two, in treating urinary tract infections. It's a natural remedy consisting of a number of herbs.It is called UTI E-drops.

How does it work?
It works along the same principle as cranberry juice. It makes the bladder wall more slippery making the bacteria unable to cling onto the wall, and they're flushed out in the urine. In addition to that, it's much better than cranberry juice in two ways. Cranberry juice does not have antiseptic properties or antibacterial properties. In addition, if you take large amounts of cranberry juice, you're going to gain weight; it has a lot of calories in it. With UTI drops, you get no calories at all.

Who should use it?
Those people who are suffering from urinary tract infection.

juniper

Most commonly used to treat a bladder infection, juniper can also be found helpful for many other conditions...

Juniper shrubs produce berries that are the principal flavouring agent in gin. Unfortunately there aren’t enough of the medicinally active oils in gin to make it a form of supplementation. The most well known use for juniper is as a treatment for bladder infection. Juniper is a diuretic and antiseptic in the urinary tract. These properties are due to the volatile oils found in the berries. Juniper is also used relieve chronic arthritis and gout.

It contains bitter substances that cause the release of saliva and digestive juices when it is tasted. This makes it useful for indigestion and lack of appetite. Juniper may also be recommended by natural health practitioners for prostate disorders or swelling in the lower legs.

Juniper berries can be used as raw berries, dried berries, encapsulated berries, tincture or tea. Fresh berries must be harvested in the second year to get high amounts of medicinal activity. Much of the essential oil content of the berries is lost during drying so fresh berries or liquid preparations are usually the most potent forms of this herb. Juniper can be found as a component of formulas for urinary infections, arthritis and prostate disorders. If juniper is used as a digestive aid then forms other than encapsulated berries should be used so that the herb is tasted.

There are possible interactions between juniper and diuretics or hypoglycemic medication. Juniper inhibits the absorption of minerals like iron and supplementation is advisable if you use juniper for long periods of time. Pregnant women and people with kidney disease should not use juniper.
