HMF^® UTI combines research-driven probiotics and PACRAN^®, a clinically studied cranberry fruit extract that helps prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. Approximately 10-20% of women experience one or more incidents of urinary discomfort or UTIs each year, with recurrence rates around 20%.¹ Cranberries are rich in polyphenol antioxidant compounds such as proanthocyanidins, which reduce the adhesiveness of E. coli bacteria to the uroepithelial cells that line the bladder.² Regular PACRAN^® supplementation has been shown to reduce E. coli presence and UTI incidence in women with a history of recurrent infections.^3,4 HMF^® UTI also contains five strains of proprietary probiotics that have demonstrated superior adherence to the gut lining and natural resistance to pH and bile acid.⁵ Included in this probiotic blend is L. gasseri, one of the predominant vaginal Lactobacillus species.⁶
