Bacteria can enter the urinary tract through the urethra or, more rarely, through the bloodstream. Women are generally at greater risk of this occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCystistatin is a unique botanical blend formulated to promote a healthy urinary tract. One of the key ingredients in Cystistatin is uva ursi extract, which is standardized to include 20% arbutin. Arbutin, particularly when combined with berberine sulfate, provides a powerful combination to help maintain healthy microbial balance in the urinary tract and bladder. In addition, marshmallow root soothes bladder and urinary tract discomfort. Celery seed extract and bladderwrack leaf are also included in Cystistatin for their ability to promote a healthy urinary passage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1-2 capsules three times per day or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUva Ursi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves of uva ursi (\u003cem\u003eArctostaphylos uva ursi\u003c\/em\u003e) have been used for centuries in herbal medicine to support the health of the urinary tract. The medicinal portion of uva ursi is the dried leaves, which, in addition to providing arbutin, have methylarbutin, flavonoids, allantoin, tannins, gallic and ellagic acids, volatile oils, and a resin (urvone). Each of the components in uva ursi leaf work synergistically with arbutin to promote healthy bacterial balance in the urinary tract. Additionally, the components of the uva ursi leaf prevent the breakdown and improve absorption of the arbutin molecule. When arbutin remains intact, it is excreted through the kidneys and provides microbial support for urinary tract mucous membranes. Research has demonstrated uva ursi’s ability to promote microbial balance in the bladder and flush out the urinary tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBerberine Sulfate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine sulfate is an alkaloid sulfate extracted from the roots and barks of many plants and possesses microbial-balancing properties.

The mechanism of action of cranberry juice and its extracts is the inhibition of microbial binding to host cell surface membranes.

A recent meta-analysis of 10 clinical trials and 1,494 subjects, showed supplementation of cranberry-containing products supported urinary tract health and urine flow, in women and children, showing greater benefit for cranberry users by 38%. A meta-analysis of the results of four randomized controlled clinical trials, found prophylactic use of cranberry significantly supported urinary tract health over a 12-month period, compared with placebo.
