Cranberry Extract Capsules – URINO 400

Details

URINO 400 is primarily used as a preventative measure against Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and to support overall bladder health. It works by creating an environment in the urinary tract that is unfavorable for bacterial colonization. For customers in Tanzania and across Africa, where access to specialized urological care can sometimes be limited, URINO 400 offers an effective, natural way to manage recurring urinary issues and reduce the frequent need for antibiotic treatments.

Available Product Formulations

URINO 400 is provided in a convenient capsule format for standardized dosing:

• Capsules: Each capsule contains 400mg of high-quality, standardized Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) extract.

Uses

The main applications for URINO 400 include:

• UTI Prevention: Reducing the frequency of recurrent urinary tract infections in susceptible individuals.
• Bladder Health: Supporting the mucosal lining of the bladder and urethra.
• Antioxidant Support: Providing proanthocyanidins (PACs) that help fight oxidative stress in the body.
• Urinary Deodorizing: Helping to reduce urinary odor, which can be beneficial for incontinent patients.

How to Use

For maximum preventative efficacy, URINO 400 should be taken regularly with adequate hydration.

• Dosage: Take one (1) to two (2) capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
• Duration: It can be taken daily for long-term prevention. If using for an active discomfort, it is often taken for at least 10–14 days alongside increased water intake.
• Administration: Swallow with a full glass of water. Increasing water intake while taking cranberry supplements helps “flush” the urinary system more effectively.

Side Effects

URINO 400 is a natural extract and is generally very well tolerated. In some cases, taking high doses on an empty stomach may cause mild stomach upset, diarrhea, or abdominal cramping. Because cranberries are acidic, some users might experience minor heartburn. If you notice any unusual symptoms or persistent gastric distress, consult your doctor.

Interactions

Specific interactions to consider:

• Warfarin (Blood Thinners): Cranberry may increase the blood-thinning effect of Warfarin, increasing the risk of bruising or bleeding. Consult a doctor if you are on anticoagulants.
• Kidney Stone Medications: Since cranberries contain oxalates, they may interact with medications for certain types of kidney stones.
• Food: Can be taken with or without food, though taking with a meal may reduce the chance of stomach upset.

Warnings

Key safety warnings for URINO 400:

• Not an Antibiotic: URINO 400 is for prevention and support. It is NOT a substitute for antibiotics if you have a severe, acute kidney or bladder infection.
• Kidney Stones: Individuals with a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones should consult a physician before long-term use.
• Diabetes: Check the label for any added sugars if you are managing strict glucose levels, though most extracts are sugar-free.
• Pregnancy: Generally considered safe, but always consult your midwife or doctor before starting any new supplement during pregnancy.

A Summary Table of Important Information

How URINO 400 Works

The primary mechanism of URINO 400 involves specific compounds called Type-A Proanthocyanidins (PACs). Unlike other fruits, cranberries contain these Type-A PACs which possess a unique anti-adhesion property. They prevent Escherichia coli (the most common bacteria causing UTIs) from using their hair-like projections (fimbriae) to attach to the epithelial cells lining the urinary tract. By inhibiting this adhesion, the bacteria are unable to colonize and are instead flushed out of the body during normal urination. Additionally, cranberry extract slightly acidifies the urine and provides a rich source of antioxidants that support the structural integrity of the urinary system’s mucosal barriers.
