There are different types of UTI, ranging from an infection of the bladder (cystitis) to an infection of the kidney. Cystitis is the most common type of UTI1.
When bacteria enter the urinary tract, it can cause an infection. Escherichia coli (E. coli), found in the digestive system, is one of the most common germs. It can easily spread to the urethra and then stick to the urinary system lining2.
Women, diabetics, the elderly, people with urinary catheters or a serious illness and men with prostate problems are at risk3. 1 in 2 women and 1 in 20 men will suffer from UTI during their lifetime. Approximately 1 in 3 women will require treatment for UTI before the age of 242.
Most UTI are in the bladder and are not serious. However, if the infection is not treated promptly, then it can travel up to the kidneys and cause a more serious infection3.
Cranberries, or cranberry juice, have been used as a solution to prevent a recurrent UTI. However, recent studies have shown that cranberries have had no significant impact when preventing UTI2.
Current UTI Treatment options include drinking fluids (especially water), antibacterial (reduces UTI occurrence), urinary alkalisers (relieves UTI symptoms), dietary supplements and URICIL.
URICIL is a NEW 2-in-1 Urinary Alkaliser and Natural Antibacterial Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) treatment which helps to relieve symptoms of UTI and reduce the occurrence of medically diagnosed cystitis (the most common type of UTI)1.
Curcumin (natural ingredient extracted from Turmeric) is a potent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that helps to relieve the inflammation of the bladder during cystitis.
It is common to get recurrent attacks of UTI or cystitis. The Curcumin in URICIL is a potent anti-oxidant which fights off the infection and reduces its recurrence.
The addition of Potassium Citrate in URICIL makes the urine less acidic (alkalises the urine). This helps to relieve the painful burning sensation when urinating.
A unique and natural antibacterial agent, URICIL eliminates the issues related to antibiotic resistance arising from prolonged antibiotic usage.
The curcumin (extracted from turmeric) in URICIL is a potent anti-oxidant which fights off the infection and reduces the occurrence. Curcumin is also a potent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that helps to relieve the inflammation of the bladder during cystitis. Potassium Citrate makes the urine less acidic (alkalises the urine) which helps to relieve the painful burning sensation when urinating.
