UrinCUR Utipro® Plus AF should be used for uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections and taken when the first symptoms arise, such as a burning feeling when urinating and having an overactive bladder. Worsening symptoms in the form of fever and/or flank pain (pain in the lower back) show that the infection has become more serious and may require treatment with antibiotics and should be investigated by a doctor.

How does Xyloglucan work in the intestine?
The xyloglucan-gelatin combination works in the colon by creating a mucoprotector film over the mucosa and thus prevents the E.coli bacteria from spreading further to the vaginal parts.
What are E.coli bacteria?
E.coli is a coliform that occurs in the intestine where it forms a large proportion of the natural intestinal flora. If the bacterium migrates from the gut to the bladder, it can cause urinary tract infections. The underlying reason why an E.coli bacterium begins to migrate is external factors such as sexual activity.
Can E.coli bacteria from the stool cause a urinary tract infection?
E.coli bacteria from faeces cannot cause a urinary tract infection unless the faeces are practically pushed towards the bladder.
How do propolis and hibiscus work in the bladder?
Hibiscus and propolis work in the bladder by influencing (acidifying) the pH value in the bladder’s environment and creating an unfavorable environment for the bacteria.
What does the ingredient Xyloglucan consist of?
Xyloglucan is a natural starch extracted from the tamarind seed.
When should you consult a doctor?
The first symptoms of a urinary tract infection are often a burning sensation when you urinate and exercise, i.e. you have to urinate frequently. If these symptoms persist after five days, a doctor should be contacted. Be especially alert if the symptoms worsen in the form of fever and/or pain in the lower back.
If you are at all unsure whether you have a urinary tract infection, you should also contact a doctor and have a diagnosis made by the doctor. A urinary tract infection may require treatment with antibiotics. This product does not replace antibiotic treatment, as it lacks bactericidal and bactericidal properties. However, UrinCUR Utipro Plus can be taken together with antibiotics.
Can you take antibiotics while taking UrinCUR Utipro Plus AF?
If the doctor has prescribed antibiotics, you can take UriCUR Utipro Plus AF as a supplement to prevent future infections. The cause of urinary tract infections is intestinal bacteria that spread to the bladder. UriCUR Utipro Plus AF prevents the spread of these intestinal bacteria to the bladder.
Can UrinCUR Utipro Plus AF treat and prevent urinary tract infection even when you have an infection due to other bacteria that came directly to the urethra? For example when bathing?
If you get a urinary tract infection from other bacteria, which come “from outside” and settle directly on the urethra / bladder, it is the ingredients propolis and hibiscus that produce an effect by acidifying the bacterial environment in the bladder.
What dosage do you need for an acute urinary tract infection if you get it during a preventive course?
Should you get an acute urinary tract infection during the dosage according to the preventive course, you should go back to the dosage for the treatment regimen. In addition, one should be observant if symptoms such as fever and back pain occur and then see a doctor for further investigation and a possible course of antibiotics.
Can UrinCUR Utipro Plus AF enter the bloodstream?
Xyloglucan has a mechanical mechanism of action and does not affect the metabolic/physiological processes in the body, which means that it is not absorbed into the blood.
The ingredients propolis and hibiscus reach the kidneys via the blood and are then carried on to the bladder. In the bladder, they lower the pH value. The acidified environment is unfavorable for bacteria.
