UT Herbal Supplement - 4oz

No UTIs since I started using it two years ago. Thank you for making an excellent product.

I've suffered from numerous UTI infections over the past year and a half and in a struggle to reduce my infections I've tried many different products; cranberry juice, d-mannose powder, herbal remedies, showers before and after intercourse, wipes, coconut oil lubricant. Of all the interventions I've tried, I've found cranberry and d-mannose to be the best intervention for long term urinary health and I like this syrup the best as I've found it has the best taste and is easy take with me on my travels. For the record, I like cranberry juice about as much as my cat likes a shower - that is, not at all. But the concentration of the sugar d-mannose in this product makes the taste of this product tolerable even to my taste buds. I travel often and find this portable syrup very useful so that I don't have to track down cranberry juice when I'm on the go. This intervention was not enough on it's own to stop all of my infections but does seem to help keep my bladder and urinary system healthier. Why do some percentage of women get reoccurring, frequent UTI's? From my research and journey, I learned there are many reasons but often the answer is a combination of genetic factors and antibiotic use. A common cause of recurring UTI's is low Immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in the mucus in the body. Low IgA levels can be boosted with vitamin A and zinc (available from amazon). In my case, I have two genetic defects affecting my methylation cycle which prevent me from making an active form of folate, which essentially later goes on to affect my ability to make glutathione, the master antioxidant for the body. I have been able to fix this by supplementing with Methyl Folate and Nac-Acetyl Cysteine (also from amazon) and have not had an infection since I started supplementing folate. If you have recurring UTI's and want to find out if any of these conditions affect you, a good naturopathic or functional medicine doctor should be able to order the tests for you to sort it out. Outside of supplementation, cranberry and d-mannose are excellent for maintaining urinary health and this syrup is a pretty tolerable form of both.

Unfortunately I've needed this a few times over the years. I always have some on hand so I can nip it in the bud and avoid antibiotics. I'm not sure how successful it would be if you don't start at the first signs of UTI

Great product and arrived quickly!

I used to get a UTI once a month for 3 years. I tried so many things (cranberry juice shots daily, cranberry pills, long term antibiotics, drinking 8 glasses of water/day, peeing every hour, etc.), and UT Answer is the best preventative treatment I've tried since it doesn't interrupt my lifestyle. At first, I tried to clear existing infections with it, but it only cleared one out the five infections I tried to cure with it. However, I knew I didn't want to give up on it because my infections would always ease up for a few days when I took it. So, I switched to the long term daily preventative treatment and voila! I have been infection-free for over a year. I take this every single day, and I take double the recommended teaspoon/day before bed (I figure that's when you're most at risk since you're not flushing bacteria out frequently when you sleep). It works. I do the subscribe and save so I can afford to keep this up. I can't recommend this for curing a UTI if you have a chronic case like I did, BUT in terms of preventative treatment, this is the weapon of choice! It's one of many things you should include in your fight against UTIs, but for me, it's been the most reliable/easy preventative method. Can't recommend it enough!
