UT Defense Benefits

Cranberries/Anthocran

Cranberry juice has been used historically as a remedy for urinary tract health. The mechanism of action of cranberry juice and its extracts is the inhibition of microbial binding to host cell surface membranes. In vitro studies have observed it to promote healthy microbial balance facilitated by proanthocyanidins PACs), which impact bacterial adherence and maintain the microbial health of the urinary tract.

Hibiscus sabdariffa

H. sabdariffa extracts have long been used in herbal teas and for urinary tract support. H. sabdariffa calyx in a 10:1 extract (Ellirose™ extract) includes compounds that promote microbial balance, and prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall, including substantial amounts of flavonoids, sambubiocides, anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins and chlorogenic acids.

Dandelion Leaf Extract

Dandelion leaf has a history of use in various preparations including infusions, extracts, and fresh expressed juice for improving urinary tract function. A clinical study of 17 participants given an extract of T. officinale fresh leaf, found it contains the ability to increase the frequency and excretion ratio of fluids in these healthy subjects.
