How It Works

Magnesium

Magnesium helps muscles relax and is involved in smooth muscle contractions, affecting the heart and the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys require adequate levels of this mineral for proper function. Magnesium helps increase urine production to promote the elimination of waste products from the body. Magnesium may also help maintain healthy bladder function.

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral that your body needs to work properly. Potassium helps generate energy and is needed for maintaining healthy blood pressure and normal heartbeat. This macro mineral also plays a critical role in maintaining electrolyte balance and supporting kidney function and urinary health. Plus, potassium is needed for proper pH balance (acidity and alkalinity).

Asparagus

Asparagus has been used as a medicinal vegetable for over 2,000 years. It is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C and K, folic acid, and potassium. Asparagus is also packed with antioxidants such as glutathione, a powerful free-radical scavenger. Asparagus is well-known as a natural diuretic that promotes urinary flow to eliminate excess salt and fluid from the body. Asparagus contains compounds that may also support the body's healthy action against unwanted microbes in the urinary tract.

Dandelion

Dandelion leaf has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. Dandelion leaf helps increase urine output to aid flushing out the urinary tract and to support healthy urinary function. Dandelion leaf is also reported to have tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder. Plus, dandelion leaf contain compounds, including flavonoids and polyphenols, that provide antioxidant protection and promote a healthy inflammatory response.

Parsley

Parsley nutritionally supports the kidneys and urinary system and helps strengthen and tone urinary tissues. Parsley increases urine production, but not electrolyte loss, and helps to eliminate excess fluid and waste from the body, including foreign invaders that can cause urinary tract irritation and discomfort. Parsley is a rich source of nutrients, including numerous vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, including potassium, which helps balance sodium levels. Plus, parsley is rich in chlorophyll, a natural deodorizer.

Corn Silk

Corn silk provides toning, soothing support to the urinary system. The silky tassel inside the corn husk is used by herbalists to soothe urinary tract tissues and relax the lining of the bladder and urinary tubules, which may help to reduce tissue irritation and promote healthy urinary flow. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), corn silk is considered an "herb that drains dampness" and is used to support the prostate and overall urinary system health.

Hydrangea

Hydrangea root has been used traditionally, both in the West and in Asia, to support the prostate gland, bladder and kidneys. Hydrangea root nutritionally supports the urinary system, helps increase urine output, and addresses mild fluid accumulation associated with a woman's menstrual cycle. Herbalists have long held that hydrangea supports the body's ability to utilize calcium, which may help reduce the formation of urinary gravel or stones.

Uva Ursi

Uva ursi leaf has traditionally been used to help ease irritation of the urinary tract, increase urine output, and maintain healthy urinary function. Uva ursi has natural diuretic properties that help flush out fluids from the body, reducing swelling and lowering the presence of foreign invaders at the same time. Uva ursi's urinary astringent actions help shrink and tighten mucous membranes in the body such as those in the urinary tract. Uva ursi also helps support healthy microbial balance in the bladder and urinary tract. Plus, uva ursi leaf contains arbutin, an active ingredient that combats harmful microorganisms in the urinary system and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

Eleuthero

Eleuthero root is an adaptogenic herb that supports energy and helps maintain balance in the body. Adaptogens help the body "adapt" to environmental stress, including physical and emotional stress. As an adaptogen, eleuthero acts as a tonic at the cellular level to promote overall health and vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), eleuthero is used to tonify the spleen and kidney energy, also known as "qi" or "chi".

Schisandra

Schisandra has been used for centuries for its important adaptogenic benefits. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this renowned tonic herb is used to balance the body's 12 meridians (energy channels). Schisandra helps the body to respond quickly to stress, thus increasing the body’s capacity to work. Schisandra is also traditionally used as an astringent to tone urinary tract tissues and help urinary tract concerns, including frequent urination and leakage.
