Irene - urinary tract health supplement 20 sachets

Product Description

Food supplement useful in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections.

Indications

Irene is the supplement based on high-dose D-Mannose (2 grams per sachet) and Cranberry that allows you to maintain optimal physiology and health of the urinary tract.

• D-Mannose
  Irene's D-Mannose is a 100% pure and natural preparation, obtained from the fermentation of larch wood and extracted using a photosynthesis process.
  No solvent is used in the extraction process: the preparation is guaranteed 100% pure and natural without additives, preservatives, excipients, emulsifiers or other carbohydrates.
  Uropathogenic E. Coli exploit for the adhesion to the urothelium of hair-like structures called fimbriae which represent an important virulence factor and are mainly of two types: type I which is the most common and binds to the D-Mannose receptor residues and type P.
  D-Mannose is concentrated in the urine and by binding to the receptors (lectins) present in the fimbriae of the E. Coli bacterium it creates the complex form bacterium + mannose.
  The bacteria are thus eliminated with the flow of urine without nesting in the mucosa of the bladder wall.
• Cranberry (Vaccinium Macrocarpon Ait.)
  Its main use is in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections thanks to the mechanism of action linked to the presence of proanthocyanidins.
  Irene's cranberry extract is particularly rich in PACS that are effective in inhibiting bacterial adhesion to the uroepithelial cells of the bladder.
  It has been demonstrated that the proanthocyanidins extracted from the American cranberry (PACS A) are responsible for inhibiting the adhesive capacity of the P-type fimbria, thus blocking the process of bacterial adhesion to the bladder mucosa.

It is not contraindicated in diabetes mellitus (although it is advisable to periodically check blood sugar levels) nor in pediatric age (the dosage must, however, be adjusted).
No side effects are known, however, new research has highlighted the fact that just as the E. Coli bacterium attacks tissue cells using mannose receptors, so too does D-Mannose. D-Mannose surrounds the sperm and prevents it from adhering to the egg.
This means that regular intake of Irene reduces the likelihood of conception.
Cranberry increases clotting time, so people taking anticoagulants should consult their doctor before taking it.
Occasionally, after taking high doses, a reduction in stool consistency has been observed.
If there is any doubt that Irene's D-Mannose may be the cause, it is best to try suspending it.
