Urinary Tract Infections are embarrassing and very uncomfortable. The fact is, most women will get an urinary tract infection (UTI) at some point in their life. You have the urge to visit the bathroom all the time, you worry about the foul odor and the painful burning sensation when you urinate.

If you suffer from urinary tract infections you are not alone; eight to ten million people are bothered by UTIs every year. Although UTIs are not as common for men, they can become a serious problem for men when they do occur.

What Causes a Urinary Tract Infection - UTI?

UTI is caused by bacteria (usually E. coli) that comes from your digestive tract and remains and multiplies at the opening of the urethra - a small tube that carries urine from the bladder.

The reasons people develop UTIs are not fully known. We know that urine is sterile and normally free from bacteria, fungi and viruses, and that urine contains salts, fluids and waste.

You see, after your body takes all the nutrients out of the food you’ve eaten, waste still remains in your blood and bowels. It’s the job of your urinary system to aids in the secretion of that waste by removing urea from your blood. Urea is carried through your bloodstream to your kidneys, where waste is further filtered and becomes urine.

When you have a UTI, bacteria starts to grow in the urethra, and can spread into the bladder (causing a bladder infection) and if the infection is not treated quickly enough, bacteria could even travel to the ureters and infect your kidneys.

Why bacteria are released from your digestive tract is unclear, but as bacteria multiply they create a series of annoying and very uncomfortable symptoms that include:

• Painful, burning feeling when urinating
• Strong urge to urinate
• Cloudy, milky, or red looking urine

And, if bacteria is left to spread to your kidneys, you could also experience fever, nausea, and a constant pain or pressure in your side, abdomen, side and lower back. If left untreated it could cause serious problems in your kidneys and other body parts.

What Will Your Doctor Do?

A visit to your doctor and a simple urine test will confirm that you have a Urinary Tract Infection.  And, if you do it’s best to take care of it right away.

UTI can be treated in one of three ways: 

1. Your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic to kill the bacteria and wipe out your infection.  Some common antibiotics used to treat UTIs are Levaquin, Cipro, Avalox and Bactrum.

The downside to antibiotics is they kill all of the bad bacteria as well as the good bacteria. So, on top of your UTI you may get diarrhea or feel nauseous. Plus, if you take antibiotics often, your body will build up an immunity to them - which can make antibiotics useless and may lead to serious life threatening infections in the future.

Doctor visit is a good idea, but you should always question if expensive and sometimes harmful antibiotics are your only option and if they are absolutely necessary for your condition.

2. You can rely on an effective home remedy:

Did you know that for more than a century, people have relied on cranberry juice to prevent and treat Urinary Tract Infections?

Evidence suggests that cranberry prevents bacteria from clinging to the walls of the urinary tract. In fact, a 2002 study published in the Canadian Journal of Urology proved that pure cranberry juice and cranberry extract tablets significantly reduced UTI in women.

Yet although cranberries have been tested and proven to be effective, if your UTI is widespread this type of treatment may not be sufficient for you. Tests show a significant reduction in bacteria, however in many cases the bacteria was not eliminated entirely.

3. You can use a NEW, powerful, all-natural herbal supplement:

Today, we have come to trust many natural remedies and herbal treatments to treat our ailments and health concerns. If fact more than 70% of Americans today are using natural treatments as an alternative to traditional treatments by chemical pharmaceutical drugs.

Herbs are used to boost our immunity, lower our blood pressure, and even enhance our energy and well being. Why would you doubt that our urinary systems can benefit from herbal supplements too?

Urizol is scientifically formulated to arrest the underlining cause of UTI and give fast relief naturally without the harm of chemical drugs.

Urizol Attacks Urinary Tract Infections from FIVE Angles:

#1 - Works as a Diuretic

Urizol contains Asparagus which increases urine output and flushes the urinary system.

Asparagus has been used for hundreds of years in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine and is commonly used today for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and to prevent kidney stone formation .  Because of the diuretic effects of asparagus, it increases urine output and flushes the urinary system . 

Asparagus is a commonly eaten food and is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA .  In addition to its diuretic effects, asparagus may also fight UTIs via antibacterial activity, and modulating the immune system .


#2 - Acts as an Antibacterial Agent

Urizol contains Cranberry and Juniper both known to destroy and inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Cranberry is used for the prevention and treatment of UTIs . Cranberries contain proanthrocyanidins, or condensed tannins, as well as other high molecular weight compounds that interfere with bacterial adherence to the urinary tract epithelial cells .

It is especially effective against E. coli, the cause of most UTIs . It has also been tested and shown antibacterial activity in culture against various other urinary tract pathogens .

Juniper has been used for many health conditions including UTIs and is Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA .  The active ingredient is the essential oil found in the juniper berry . 

Juniper contains terpinen-4-ol which appears to increase glomerular filtration rate in the kidney and thus generate aquaretic effects which increase urine volume and water loss but not electrolyte excretion .  Juniper berry oil has also been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and tissue healing effects .


#3 – It Cleans and Disinfects!

Urizol contains Buchu which increases urination as it disinfects the urinary system.  

Buchu is a plant used by the indigenous people of South Africa for hundreds of years .  Today it is used primarily as a urinary disinfectant . 

It is Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA and contains disphenol which is most likely responsible for buchu’s diuretic and antiseptic effects .  Low level antimicrobial activity against E. coli and other urinary pathogens has been demonstrated .


#4 – Boosts Your Immune System

Urizol contains Echinacea a known immunomodulator which helps to fight infection. 

Echinacea is one of the most popular herbal supplements for a variety of infections, including UTIs .  Echinacea takes advantage of the body’s natural defense system by stimulating white blood cells and increasing their phagocytic activity to fight infection . 

Echinacea contains heteroxylan and arabinogalactan which seem to produce these immunomodulatory properties .  The body is better able to fight a UTI with the aid of Echinacea.


#5 – It Soothes and Protects Your Urinary System

Urizol contains Marshmallow mucilage, which coats the urinary system and reduces irritation.

Marshmallow is used for both UTIs and urinary calculus (kidney stones) .  It is Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA .  The herb contains mucilage polysaccharides that soothe, coat, and protect the inner lining of the urinary system from irritation . It may also stimulate white blood cells, prevent stone formation, calm urinary spasms, and have diuretic, antimicrobial, and healing effects .
