>>> urinary tract disorders

Do you have a persistent urge to go to the toilet? Do you feel a burning sensation when you urinate? Or pressure in the lower abdomen? Urinary tract disorders can be very unpleasant and most frequently affect women, because of their specific anatomy. In men, problems are more likely to arise after the age of 50.

In 90% of cases, they are triggered by Escherichia Coli bacteria that attach to the bladder walls by means of adhesion filaments. Once the bacterium is attached, it reproduces and causes significant discomfort.

Although these problems are not serious, they are still disabling, because of their often recurrent and difficult-to-bear nature. In France, around two million women have been unable to effectively relieve their symptoms by means of conventional treatments. A natural and effective alternative exists: the cranberry.

>>> the cranberry: imagine!

Traditional Use
The cranberry was traditionally used by Native Americans as a food and a natural remedy. This wild and rare fruit, which they called Atoka, was known for its many benefits, in particular for its help with urinary problems.
The cranberry is a small, red, acidic berry that belongs to the Ericaceae family. The species Vaccinium macrocarpon, which grows exclusively on the American continent, has benefited from numerous research and clinical studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of its consumption in relieving recurrent urinary tract infections.

How does it work ?
The cranberry contains PAC, a natural active ingredient that can help block the attachment of E. coli to the bladder walls, allowing the bacteria to be eliminated in the urine. This anti-adhesion mechanism was validated by AFSSA (Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Aliments) at an effective dosage of 36 mg measured PAC per day.
