OLIMP Cranberry Uro-Complex is a dietary supplement designed to support the health of the genitourinary system and prevent urinary tract ailments. The preparation contains a highly concentrated cranberry extract standardised to contain proanthocyanidins (PAC). Its activity is further amplified by extracts of common horsetail, stinging nettle, green tea, and common oat.

The supplement is recommended for people struggling with recurring bacterial infections and inflammation within the urinary tract and the bladder. Women are the larger part of the group, as their anatomy (shorter urethra) makes them particularly prone to such conditions. It is estimated that recurring infections affect 80% of the population, which is why taking good care of the urinary system is so important. Specialists point out that herbal preparations prove excellent in the prevention of urinary tract disorders.

American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) contains an abundance of biologically active compounds with antioxidant and antibiotic properties. The most active ones are proanthocyanidins (PAC). Research has shown that they can reduce the adherence of fimbriae, which are used by uropathogenic bacteria (such as E.coli, Proteus spp., S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, S. typhimurium) to adhere to the mucous membranes of urinary system cells. The reduction of the amount of pathogenic microorganisms is crucial in the therapy and prevention of recurring urinary system infections. Importantly, PAC have no negative effect on the beneficial microflora in the body.

Cranberries also contain two compounds with the ability to reduce urine pH. The substances in question are benzoic acid and hippuric acid. An acidic environment also significantly decreases the ability of pathogens to multiply and survive, that way reducing the risk of urinary system infections.

Common horsetail (Equisetum arvense) contains a wealth of natural silica. Apart from that, it also has bioactive flavonoids and saponins. Their presence gives horsetail extracts diuretic properties and can reduce the risk of gallstone formation in the urinary tract. It is traditionally used for increasing diuresis, as well as in the prevention and therapy of gallstones.

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is used primarily for brewing an immensely popular and delicious beverage. The leaves of the plant provide numerous biologically active compounds with health-promoting properties. They are powerful antioxidants with a beneficial effect on the condition of blood vessels and the ability to reduce inflammation in the body. One of the components present in green tea leaves is caffeine, known for its stimulant properties. Its amount is insufficient to exert a stimulant effect but it is enough to stimulate diuresis and increase urine flow.

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), similarly to horsetail and green tea, has diuretic properties. Extracts of its leaves are often used in the therapy of urinary disorders which occur in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and in gallstone prevention. Stinging nettle also has a powerful antibiotic effect, which, along with its diuretic properties, makes it particularly efficient in the case of bacterial infections of the urinary system.

Common oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal rarely associated with phytotherapy. Meanwhile, the oat straw proves fantastic in the case of urinary disorders. The plant displays great diuretic properties and inhibits the formation of gallstones. It also provides unique steroid saponins, which have a beneficial effect on the endocrine system, especially in the male organism. Common oat extracts are often included in complex preparations supporting a healthy prostate.

In summary, OLIMP Cranberry Uro-Complex is a supplement supporting the health of the genitourinary system. Thanks to careful ingredient selection is will work equally efficiently in men and women. It is particularly recommended for women, who experience urinary tract infections much more frequently than men. Men struggling with prostate problems can benefit from the product as well.
