Genestra HMF UTI - 60 Capsules

HMF UTI pairs Genestra's research-driven probiotic strains with PACRAN, a cranberry fruit extract, in a formula made with women's urinary tract health in mind. Cranberries are naturally rich in proanthocyanidins, and each daily serving provides the equivalent of 25 g of fresh cranberry fruit.

The probiotic side brings five proprietary strains, including Lactobacillus gasseri, one of the predominant Lactobacillus species in the vaginal flora, alongside Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium strains that help support normal intestinal function. The capsules are vegetable-based and best kept refrigerated.

• 60 vegetable capsules
• Five probiotic strains, 15 billion CFU per capsule
• PACRAN cranberry fruit extract, 250 mg per capsule

Probiotic formula with added cranberry extract for UTI support

Probiotics backed by over 20 years of clinical evidence
HMF UTI is a combination of 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
Probiotics reinforce the epithelial barrier and mediate intestinal permeability by controlling the integrity of tight junctions. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics, effectively colonize the intestines, and promote the presence of beneficial bacteria to support normal intestinal function.

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 155 adults, daily intake of a probiotic supplement providing 25 billion CFU (containing two strains each of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium) for 21 days significantly and positively affected the intestinal microbiota.
