Urinary tract infections (UTI) attack women more than men.
Infection develops when bacteria travel up the urethra (urinary duct) and reach the bladder.
Anything that prevents full elimination of urine from the bladder and urethra will increase the likelihood of bacteria build-up and infection.Cranberry helps prevent infection-causing bacteria from adhering to the lining of the urinary tract.
Buchu has a mild diuretic and demulcent effect, stimulating the flow of urine and soothing inflamed tissues.

Digestive enzymes are secreted along the gastrointestinal tract and break down foods, enabling the nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream for use in various bodily functions.
Enzymes are extremely sensitive to heat and are easily destroyed by cooking in temperatures above 47C (117F). Age and various digestive system problems can reduce the production of digestive enzymes and impair the digestive system’s ability to adequately digest food.
