Urologic Support

When the kidneys, bladder and urethra are functioning at optimal levels, a healthy urinary system is the result. Without a healthy urinary system, which is responsible for the urine production that makes it possible to eliminate toxic wastes from the body, maintaining good health is impossible.

By paying attention to proper urologic support, the risk of other health complications that can occur, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are greatly reduced. Because the kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood and producing urine for elimination, their health is directly tied to the regulation of blood pressure and blood volume. Urinary system health directly affects the health of the cardiovascular system, heart function and the blood's ability to nourish the muscles and organs.

Drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily contributes to good urinary health, as does a diet comprised mainly of fresh fruits, vegetables and living foods rather than processed foods. Another smart avenue to provide urologic support to prevent kidney disease and urinary tract infection is to include vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the diet obtained via quality supplements that promote the health of the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract.

Cranberry is among the most potent supplements for urologic support because it promotes a healthy bladder and urinary tract environment free from infection. Garlic is another natural ingredient that helps to support a healthy urinary tract environment. Uva Ursi combined with calcium citrate aids in keeping urine in an alkaline rather than acidic state.

D-Mannose is a glyconutrient with proven ability to benefit the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. Acidophilus helps to maintain a healthy balance of beneficial microflora in the urinary tract. Saw Palmetto extract is another nutrient supporting good urinary as well as prostate health.
