Comprehensive composition – the strongest protection
against struvite urolithiasis from VetExpert
Composition:
DL-methionine - Sulfur-containing amino acid. The oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids leads to the formation of sulfuric acid and its excretion in the urine, which lowers its pH.
Cranberry - Contains proanthocyanidins, which, when bound to the surface receptors of pathogenic bacteria, prevent bacteria from adhering to the wall of the urinary tract.
Glucosamine - Glucosamine is a component of the intracellular environment of connective tissue, and its addition stimulates the synthesis of other components of the intracellular substance, resulting in better attachment to the bladder wall. Glucosamine increases the mechanical barrier of the bladder wall and thus has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
Parsley - Its mechanism of action involves reducing potassium-sodium activity in the kidney, which also reduces the excretion of sodium and potassium ions. This leads to osmotic influx of water into the lumen of the renal tubules, increased urine volume, and diuresis.
Valerian - A substance with a mild sedative and anxiolytic effect. The mechanism of action is similar to that of benzodiazepines (binds to the beta subunit of the receptor). It causes Na+ entry into the cell and GABA binding to the receptor. In addition, it slows down the neutralization or metabolism of GABA, thus acting longer.
Nettle - Studies in rats show that the use of nettle extract causes - lowering of blood pressure (its effectiveness is compared to furosemide at a dose of 2 mg/kg), increased urine flow, increased sodium excretion.
Vitamin B6 - Limits oxalate excretion in urine – protects against the formation of oxalate crystals.
Vitamin C - Acidifies the urine. Protects against recurrence of urinary infections.
Dosage:
- 2 capsules daily - morning and evening
