Uva Ursi Max-V

Millions of Americans suffer from urinary tract infections (UTIs) each year‚ and the majority of them may have a recurring infection within the same year. You can treat this very irritating condition with antibiotics‚ and it may clear it up quickly. However‚ an antibiotic will do nothing to treat the underlying condition; consequently‚ these infections can return. UTIs are painful and potentially dangerous‚ especially if they spread into the bloodstream. Common symptoms of a UTI include:

-A burning sensation during urination
-A frequent and urgent need to urinate
-Lower back pain
-Discoloration of the urine‚ indicating blood
-Fever

Most commonly associated with a bladder infection‚ a UTI can point to more serious problems‚ such as an infection in the kidneys. The urinary tract is the system that processes and carries urine out of the body‚ and it consists of the kidneys‚ ureters‚ bladder‚ and urethra. Just like any other system‚ when one component is not functioning properly‚ the entire system breaks down.

Ways to prevent a urinary tract infection is to never delay going to the bathroom‚ since ignoring the urge to urinate can trap bacteria in the tract. Drinking plenty of water will also help flush out toxins and clean the urinary tract‚ preventing infections. Consuming cranberry juice has also been found to prevent UTIs‚ although there’s no evidence that this will actually cure an infection that has already started. You can also take a daily supplement like Douglas Laboratories’ Uva Ursi Max-V.

Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)‚ also known as bearberry‚ is a low-lying plant found deep in Asia. It has long been used in traditional medicine as a urinary antiseptic and inflammatory. Each vegetarian capsule of Uva Ursi Max-V works to deeply cleanse and tone the urinary tract while encouraging the growth of healthy flora.
