ICONFIT Urinacon (60 capsules)

ICONFIT URINACON is a reliable choice for those who want to keep their urinary tract system healthy and ensure overall well-being. The product contains D-mannose, nettle powder, and cranberry dry extract.

D-mannose is structurally similar to glucose. It is found naturally in some fruits, including cranberries, apples, oranges, and peaches. Unlike other sugars, it does not significantly affect blood sugar levels. Instead, D-mannose is absorbed slowly in the digestive tract and then excreted in the urine. The most well-known benefit of D-mannose is its ability to prevent urinary tract infections. It works by preventing E. coli bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract walls. D-mannose binds to the bacteria, preventing them from sticking to the bladder and urinary tract walls, and helps flush them out of the body during urination.

Nettle has been used in traditional medicine for centuries for various purposes, including supporting urinary tract health. Nettle is known for its natural diuretic effect, which can help increase urine production, which in turn helps flush bacteria out of the urinary tract.

Cranberries have been extensively studied and are commonly recommended for the prevention of urinary tract infections and, to a lesser extent, for treatment. Proanthocyanidins (PACs) contained in cranberries can prevent E. coli bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract mucosa. Additionally, cranberries help make the urine more acidic, which provides protection against urinary tract infections.

Main functions of the urinary tract:
Blood filtration: The urinary tract, especially the kidneys, filters blood, removing excess waste, toxins, and metabolic byproducts.
Urine formation: Filtered substances are combined and converted in the kidneys into urine, which consists of water, electrolytes, and other dissolved substances. cloudy or bloody urine
Regulation of water and electrolyte balance: Urine helps maintain the body’s water and electrolyte balance by regulating urine composition according to the body’s needs.
Regulation of acid-base balance: The urinary tract affects the body’s acid-base balance by excreting hydrogen ions and maintaining an optimal pH level.
Regulation of body metabolism: Excess nitrogen and metabolic waste produced during protein metabolism are excreted through the urinary tract.
Nutrient retention: While most filtered nutrients are absorbed into the blood, the urinary tract helps in the retention of some essential substances, such as glucose and amino acids.
Immune system support: Substances found in the urinary tract, such as immunoglobulins, can help protect urinary tract organs from infections.
