Composition

AV-UTI Suspension contains a synergistic blend of active ingredients:

• Potassium Magnesium Citrate: Helps maintain urine alkalinity, reduces uric acid levels, and lowers the risk of kidney stones. It can also enhance the efficacy of D-mannose.
• D-Mannose: Inhibits the growth of bacteria, particularly E. coli, responsible for approximately 90% of UTIs, by preventing them from adhering to cells in the urinary tract.
• Cranberry Extract: Acidic in nature, it disrupts the activity of harmful bacteria and contains antioxidants that support the bladder lining. It also helps in reducing the unpleasant odor of urine.

What is AV-UTI Suspension used for?

AV-UTI Suspension is a health supplement primarily used for managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and maintaining kidney health. It helps alleviate symptoms like burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, and pelvic pain. It is also used to prevent the recurrence of UTIs, kidney stones (specifically calcium oxalate stones), and to manage gout by increasing urine output and regulating urine pH. This suspension can also be used for post-coital UTIs and catheter-associated urinary discomfort.

How does AV-UTI Suspension work?

AV-UTI Suspension contains a blend of Cranberry Extract, D-Mannose, and Potassium Magnesium Citrate. D-Mannose and Cranberry Extract work by forming a coating on the lining of the urinary tract (urothelium), which helps prevent bacteria, particularly E. coli, from adhering to the bladder walls and reducing their growth. This action aids in flushing out unwanted bacteria from the bladder during urination. Potassium Magnesium Citrate helps to increase urinary pH, urinary citrate, and urinary magnesium, which can relieve a burning sensation during urination, manage bladder irritation, and prevent the formation of kidney stones. Cranberry extract also provides antioxidant protection to the bladder lining.
