Anyone who has had to deal with a UTI knows the absolute misery it can bring. UTI’s are one of the most common bacterial infections around. It can be normal for someone to get a UTI once in a while, however when it rears its ugly head continuously, that’s a whole OTHER story.

So what’s the deal? How do you get a UTI on a continual basis? The main culprits are:
  • Wiping back to front (the bacteria Coli causes more than 90% of UTIs)
  • Tight clothing like leggings or jeggings
  • Not urinating immediately after sex (romantic, I know)
  • Bath bombs
  • Scented wipes
  • Douches (FYI your vagina is designed to clean itself)

Normal urine is sterile but when bacteria get into the urine, an infection can occur. A typical UTI will usually start at the opening of the urethra where the urine leaves the body, and unfortunately ladies we are significantly more susceptible to UTI’s as we have shorter urethra’s.

Treatment for a UTI?

Usually if you go to a GP they will prescribe you with antibiotics, which not only kill the bad bacteria but also the good (bye bye healthy gut!). Antiobiotics can also create future resistance to bugs, change the normal flora balance in the vagina, and create long-term digestive issues.

Luckily however, studies have proven the benefits of D-mannose, a naturally occurring sugar found in cranberry juice. When high levels of D-mannose are found in your urine, the bacteria are provided with bait, helping flush the bacteria out of your body. The obvious downfall of incorporating large amounts of cranberry juice into your diet however is that it is naturally high in fructose. This has lead Kaytee and Dr Ron Goedeke to create a 100% natural treatment. Biosphere UTI capsules contain a concentrated form of D-mannose, to help rid the bad bacteria from your bladder naturally!
