Vitamin A is essential for the proper synthesis of mucoproteins and glycoproteins found in mucous membrane secretions. It protects the integrity of epithelial mucous membranes such as the respiratory tract, digestive tract and urinary tract. Vitamin A is essential for normal immune system function.
Vitamin C plays a beneficial role in infections due to its ability to promote a strong and vigorous immune system. In addition, it has a role in the production of collagen to enhance tissue integrity and healing of inflamed mucosal surfaces. Vitamin C’s action as an antioxidant is well documented. Vitamin C also helps to acidify the urine making an environment unhospitable to bacteria growth.
D-Mannose is a simple sugar found naturally in cranberries. Most of this sugar is excreted through the kidney urinary bladder system. D-Mannose attaches to bacterial cell membrane receptor sites and dislodges them from their tissue attachment sites. In this way pathogenic bacteria are flushed out of the urinary system and cleared from the body. D-Mannose helps to maintain a healthy urinary tract.
Urtica dioica, according to the PDR for Herbal Medicines, is indicated for: infections of the urinary tract, kidney and bladder stones and rheumatism. Traditional internal use has been for inflammatory conditions of the lower urinary tract.
Cranberry Extract has anti-adhesive agents that assist in flushing bacterial pathogens from the urinary tract. Native Americans have used cranberry for centuries due to its healthy support of the urinary system. Cranberry has been well-researched in the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections.
Uva Ursi is indicated for inflammatory infectious conditions of the urinary tract.
Taraxicum officinale freeze dried leafs have reported supportive properties for the kidney urinary bladder system, especially when combined with Uva ursi. The combination is useful to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. The PDR for Herbal Medicine states that Taraxicum indications are: Dyspeptic conditions, infections of the urinary tract, kidney and bladder stones, liver and gallbladder complaints and loss of appetite.
Petroselinum (parsley): has been routinely used for flushing out the urinary tract and for preventing and treating kidney gravel. Parsley root has mild diuretic, and spasmolytic properties.
Berberine: has a long traditional use in the treatment of urinary tract infections due to its antibiotic, antifungal and antimicrobial attributes.
Equisetum (Horsetail): has been used in the treatment of bacterial infections and inflammation of the lower urinary tract and renal gravel. The British Herbal Compendium also supports its use in the treatment of mild infections of the genito-urinary tract.
Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (Coenzyme ‘active’ Vitamin B6): has mild diuretic activity. Supports healthy aldosterone levels and has traditionally been used as an aide in the prevention of kidney stones.
Homeopathic base: The homeopathic base in UTI Max complements the botanical and specialty ingredients. The specific homeopathic remedies enhance the host defense mechanisms, help reduce inflammation and promote healing of damaged Kidney Urinary Bladder (KUB) membranes. This formula is common to both German and French homeopathic preparations for urinary tract disorders.
UTI Max contains 60 capsules.
For best success with this product, we sell it as a package with the Probiotic and Renelix. You may purchase just the Probiotic and PET UTI Prevention Formula but far better results are achieved if you use these two products with the Akutur and/or Renelix (use if your pet has crystals, stones or kidney disease). Here is how they all work together:
1) PET UTI Prevention Formula--acidifies the urine and helps keep bacteria from collecting on bladder walls
2) Probiotic--fights infection and yeast--imperative if your pet has been on antibiotics. If you don't use this, no matter how acid the urine, the infection will most likely return. In your pet's best interest, we require Probiotic to ensure success in tackling your pets chronic UTIs. We will permit purchase of the UTI Max by itself for refills.
3) Renelix--flushes out the toxins from the kidneys and urinary tract. Helps restore normal kidney and urinary tract function. Helps with inflammation, bladder and kidney stones, crystals and mineral deposits.
4) Akutur--fights infection, provides pain relief, reduces inflammation and helps restore balance in the bladder specifically--works well in combination with the other products
These products combined are the very best way you can help your pet fight chronic UTIs. They are easy to administer. Renelix, Akutur and PET UTI can be combined in the syringe. Probiotic can be given separately or with food.
For pets with chronic infections that do not resolve: sometimes pets need supplements to help improve immune function. Two options are Samento (excellent especially for cats as the drops are easier to adminster) and Mycobactin (for larger pets). Also, many pets who have had repeated infections develop a great deal of inflammation in the bladder wall. In this case, use Notatum drops or capsules. We have had MANY cat owners who finally got relief after using the Notatum drops along with the Akutur, PET UTI and Probiotic.
