Dynamic duo launched to help fight urinary tract infection

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Oct 29, 2010 -- Dynamic duo launched to help fight urinary tract infection

hI-Cran® is a new natural supplement combining two potent ingredients to help fight urinary tract infections such as cystitis . hI-Cran® combines a unique partnership of powerful cranberry extract and antioxidant hibiscus in a convenient once-a-day capsule.

Formulated by The Urology Company, hI-Cran® harnesses the well known benefits of these natural ingredients to work with your body and help prevent infection.

- Cranberries have been used around the world for many years to help prevent UTIs. Cranberries contain tannins called proanthyocyanidins (PACs), which help to prevent harmful microbes present in urine from sticking to the bladder wall and causing an infection. The most common microbe to cause infection is the notorious E.coli.

- Hibiscus is also thought to help prevent E.coli from sticking to the urinary tract and bladder wall – and so it has been combined with the power of cranberry PACs in hI-Cran® to prevent UTIs. Hibiscus also contains an antioxidant called gossypetin, which has been shown to kill harmful microbes which could cause infection.

Many of us are familiar with the discomfort and inconvenience of UTIs, the most common of which is cystitis. In fact it is estimated that one in three women in the UK will have suffered a UTI by the age of 24 and around half will experience such an infection in their lifetime. You should consult your doctor if you suffer frequent recurrences of urinary tract infections.

Dr Wallace Dinsmore, consultant at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast commented:
"Cystitis, one of several UTIs that can recur frequently, causes much discomfort and seriously impacts on the sufferer’s quality of life. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious complications such as kidney infections. Published data show that the maintenance of a healthy urinary tract by taking a supplement such as hI-Cran® on a daily basis, may well help to prevent UTIs. "

By maintaining a healthy urinary tract and preventing recurrent UTIs, women can help avoid the potential of more serious infection and the side effects of treatments such as antibiotics.

It's never been simpler to help keep your body healthy on the inside. One capsule a day will help your body keep annoying urinary tract infections at bay!
