Description

The anatomy of the female urinary tract differs greatly from that of men. As a result, they need additional nutritional support. Many published studies indicate that cranberry polyphenols may help to support a healthy urinary tract. Of particular importance is the flavonoid content of the cranberry, including anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins. These natural compounds exert powerful antioxidant effects that can reduce oxidative stress. Recent clinical data suggest that the proanthocyanidins found only in cranberries also can promote urinary system health.

In a significant advance, Life Extension has identified a unique compound that provides a synergistic complement to the whole cranberry’s phytonutrient profile. UTI Rose™ is derived from Hibiscus sabdariffa, a species native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Scientific analysis has shown that this species flower and calyx (the green floral envelope surrounding the blossom) are rich in active polyphenols, including flavonoids , sambubiosides and anthocyanins .
