EUCISTIX 25
WEEK Food supplement based on Cranberry titrated at 25%, Bromelain, vitamins and probiotic lactic ferments. Contains active ingredients traditionally used for the well-being of the urinary tract.
Recent studies
(1) have shown that the protoanthocyanidins contained in Cranberry selectively inhibit the adhesins with which the bacteria responsible for urinary infections attach themselves to the urothelium and destroy the biofilm with which they constitute their reproductive colonies
(2) . This allows both to prevent the adhesion of pathogens to the walls of the urinary tract, making their elimination easier with the urinary flow, and to hinder their reproduction and, therefore, repopulation. Furthermore, Cranberry carries out its own antibacterial activity by contributing to the metabolization of Benzoic Acid into lppuric Acid
(2) . Pharmokinetic studies confirm that the total elimination of protoancianidins occurs naturally in 10-12 hours after administration.
