Stop UTIs Before They Start: Prevent Recurrence with Urophenol®

Stop UTIs Before They Start: Prevent Recurrence with Symrise Urophenol®

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common condition, particularly among women, due to the anatomical structure of the female urinary tract. The standard treatment for UTIs involves antibiotics, which work to eliminate the bacteria from the urinary system.

However, a significant challenge arises when the bacteria evolve and develop resistance to antibiotics, making the infection harder to treat. This phenomenon is known as antibiotic resistance, which causes a person to have recurrent UTI.

Urophenol®- a cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) extract from Symrise, is designed specifically for preventing recurrent UTI. With standardization to high concentration of A-type proanthocyanidins, Urophenol® is proven to reduce 43% symptomatic UTIs and 46% symptomatic UTI with pyuria for women with moderate UTI recurrence.

How Urophenol® works?

Anti-adhesion properties – Causes alteration confirmation of fimbriae of coli, causing less adhesive to epithelial cells surface.
Prevent biofilm formation – Prevent development E.coli resistance to antibiotic treatment
Reduce E-coli induced inflammation – Reduce the recruitment of mononuclear cells (lymphocytes and monocytes) to the epithelial cells.
Tighten junction between cells
