Kidney, Bladder
and Urinary Health
 Magnesium
has been shown in clinical studies to have a beneficial effect in the
kidneys and vitamin B6 enhances this effect.
Potassium and sodium are essential to body functions
involving fluid regulation and balance. Bearberry (Uva
ursi) is well-known for its benefits on the urinary passages.
Europeans are familiar with lespedeza, used for flushing out
the urinary tract and boldo, supporting healthy fluid balance.
Native Americans used goldenrod, which stimulates the kidneys
to eliminate fluid and supports the kidneys with the key saponins and
tannins.. Asparagus Extract is a potent detoxifier that
nutritionally supports urinary tract function.
Cranberry
extract supports proper pH balance in the
urinary tract. The common cranberry extract is standardized to contain
5% anthocyanidins and 30% organic acids, including quinic, malic,
citric, and hippuric acids. The upland cranberry extract (also known
as Uva ursi or bearberry) is standardized to contain 20%
arbutin. In the body, arbutin breaks down into hydroquinone, a
compound recognized for its role in urinary tract function. Pumpkin
Seed Extract provides all the valuable nutrients of pumpkin seed
in a unique highly concentrated, 20-to-1 extract. Pumpkin seeds are a
natural source of alpha-linolenic acid and phytosterols, which support
prostate health in men and bladder health in women. The orthosiphon
leaves are a source of lipophilic flavones, particularly sinensetin.
Orthosiphon is believed to promote the elimination of fluids,
nitrogenous substances, and sodium chloride. Birch leaves
also contain valuable saponins, which are immune-enhancing compounds.
