Simple UTI Prevention Remedy
Often UTI can be a recurring problem, which can be quite frustrating. There is, though, one simple step of prevention we as pet owners can take if we have a pet caught in this cycle; provide them with the nutrition that will help defend against the primary cause of UTI (bacterial infection), and here are the two heavy hitters for prevention:
Cranberry Extract
- Cranberry is clinically proven product used for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).
- Cranberries are rich in proanthocyanidins, which exhibit a strong anti-adhesion effect.
- This anti-adhesion effect means bacteria are unable to attach and colonize in the urinary tract.
- Cranberry proanthocyanins are easily absorbed by the digestive tract and excreted in the urine.
D-Mannose
- D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants.
- In the bladder, D-Mannose can adhere to bacteria preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder, ultimately prevented them from colonizing in the urinary tract.
- Because the body utilizes insubstantial amounts of D-Mannose, it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation.
Nusentia® has a nutritional supplement that contains both of these two powerful ingredients in efficacious amounts to provide the defense and support needed for urinary tract health. Utrin® is a natural supplement with both D-mannose and cranberry, offering a powerful defense for healthy urinary function.
