LACTOTUNE™
Urinary Tract Health is a medical device that combines the features of cranberry extract and probiotic cultures to support the treatment of urinary tract infections and reduce the risk of recurrence.
The cranberry extract physically inhibits the adhesion of pathogen bacteria that might migrate from the exterior environment to the urinary tract and the urinary tract tissue.
Probiotic lactobacillus is added to the product to assist the activity of the cranberry extract by contributing to a healthy, balanced intestinal microbial flora and thereby reduce the amount of pathogen bacteria likely to cause urinary tract infections.
The probiotic bacteria in
LACTOTUNE™ Urinary Tract Health:
• Lactobacillus acidophilus
• Lactobacillus gasseri
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus

HOW TO TAKE LACTOTUNE™
Take one capsule orally twice a day (in the morning and in the evening) with a large glass of water. To reduce risk of recurrence, you can continue treatment with one capsule per day. Drink at least
1.5-2 litres of water per day to facilitate diuresis. For children
2 to 12 years, consult your doctor for advice and instructions.
LACTOTUNE™ Urinary Tract Health comes in packs of 12 or 30 capsules.
The live bacteria in the product are very sensitive to external factors. To guarantee the high potency and long shelf life of the product, the bacteria are coated using patented state-of–the-art cryo-protection technology and packaged in humidity-controlled and easy to handle vials.

WHAT IS URINARY TRACT INFECTION?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the bladder, also known as cystitis (a mild but distressing inflammation that is limited to the bladder) that affect up to 50 percent of all females at some point in their life. UTI is 50 times more common in women, with about 5 percent per year developing symptoms.
UTI is uncommon in men below 60 years of age, but the frequency is similar in men and women in older age groups. The condition may aggravate without treatment into severe infection of the kidney, such as pyelonephritis (when the infection has reached the kidney tissue itself).
Pathogenic species of Escherichia coli (E. coli) are the cause of UTI in 70-95% of cases. E. coli are normally found in the digestive tract and present on the skin around the rectal area. For the disease to occur, pathogenic microorganisms must first enter the urethra and adhere to the host tissue. The structure of the female anatomy predisposes females to infection because the urethral opening is located very close to the anus. Therefore, bacteria can easily migrate across the perineum (the narrow band between the anus and the vagina) to the urethra.
However, anything that reduces bladder emptying or irritates the urinary tract can cause UTI, including insufficient water intake, obstructions, sexual activity, bathroom hygiene, spermicides, condoms, diaphragms, diabetes, loss of estrogen, prolonged use of bladder catheters etc.

Symptoms differ, depending on whether the infection affects the lower (bladder and urethra) or upper (kidneys and ureters) parts of the urinary tract. The symptoms of lower UTI are dysuria (burning on passing urine), frequency (frequent need to pass urine) and urgency (compelling need to urinate). The urine can be cloudy with an offensive odour.
The symptoms of upper UTI are the same as lower tract symptoms plus loin (flank) pain, fever and chills. The patient is likely to be ill and might require hospital admission. These symptoms may vary from mild to severe and in healthy women last an average of six days.
