Summer brings a change of pace: we spend more time outdoors, travel, stay at pools and beaches, often move from high temperatures into air conditioned rooms, and frequently forget to drink enough fluids. Although all of this is part of rest and enjoyment, such changes to everyday habits can increase the risk of urinary infections. Once the first symptoms appear, daily activities and plans can easily be disrupted.
That is why it is important to recognise the first symptoms and react in time. What may initially seem like a passing discomfort should not be ignored, because timely action helps to relieve complaints more quickly and prevents the problem from developing further.
Urinary infections are among the most common bacterial infections in women, and it is estimated that almost every second woman will experience at least one episode of cystitis in her lifetime. The most frequent cause is the bacterium Escherichia coli, while various factors that disturb the natural balance of the urinary tract can increase the risk of infection.
When the first problems appear, quick action can make a big difference. Urinal® Express pH was developed precisely for such situations – a food supplement that provides fast relief of urinary infection symptoms and restores a feeling of comfort. Its unique combination of potassium citrate and sodium citrate helps stabilise the pH value of the urine and thus assists in alleviating the burning and stinging sensation, while American cranberry extract and birch leaf contribute to maintaining the health of the lower urinary tract.
Its greatest advantage is speed – relief can be expected as soon as 30 minutes after use. When symptoms appear suddenly, every minute until relief can make a difference. Faster alleviation of complaints can make it easier to continue everyday summer activities and ensure that the unpleasantness has as little impact as possible on the rest of the day.
However, rapid symptom relief is only the first step. It is equally important to provide the body with adequate support right from the beginning, which is why the new Urinal® Akut was developed. Its formula combines a standardised American cranberry extract that provides 36 mg of proanthocyanidins (PAC), goldenrod extract and vitamin D. Proanthocyanidins from American cranberry help prevent E. coli bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract, thereby supporting their easier elimination through the urine. Goldenrod, known for its mild diuretic, anti inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, stimulates the elimination of bacteria through the urine and helps reduce discomfort. At the same time, vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and provides additional support to the body in fighting infections.
Urinal® Express pH in practical sachets and the new Urinal® Akut in tablet form together represent a complementary approach to reacting already at the first symptoms of urinary infection. While Urinal® Express pH delivers fast relief within just 30 minutes, the new Urinal® Akut provides targeted support to the body thanks to a carefully selected combination of ingredients, bringing together rapid alleviation of complaints and serving as a continuation of therapy for a complete treatment of urinary infection.
Since symptoms can appear precisely when we least expect them – especially in summer – it is important to think ahead. While in the warmer months we take care of sun protection and hydration, we should not forget the health of the urinary tract. It is a good idea to have proven support as part of the home or travel pharmacy so that sudden troubles do not spoil a weekend or a long planned holiday, and so that we can spend the summer enjoying the moments we look forward to the most.
