Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are increasingly common. Clinics I have spoken with recently report that UTIs are among the most frequent concerns they see. While antibiotics are often prescribed, many people look for non-pharmaceutical options to help prevent and relieve symptoms.
UTI Relief Synergy by Synergy Holistics is a carefully designed, plant-based formula created to support urinary health, help relieve symptoms associated with minor UTIs, and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. (For long-term prevention, probiotics also play an essential role.)
Health Canada Approved Claim
UTI Relief Synergy is:
Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve symptoms associated with minor urinary tract infections, such as burning sensation and/or frequent urination.
For best results, proper use is important. At the first sign of symptoms, it should be taken up to four times daily on an empty stomach, away from food. As with many microbial challenges, early intervention can make a meaningful difference. In my experience, when taken quickly enough, relief can sometimes occur very rapidly.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
1.) D-Mannose (Full 5 g Dose) and Cranberry — Anti-Adherence Support
D-mannose is a simple sugar that helps prevent bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall. This anti-adherence action is especially helpful against E. coli, a common contributor to UTIs. Cranberry is well known for a similar mechanism. Together, they support the natural flushing of unwanted bacteria from the urinary tract.
2.) Goldenrod — Broad Urinary Support
Goldenrod is a standout herb for urinary health. It supports kidney and bladder function through its diuretic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. The German E-Commission recognizes goldenrod as an adjunct treatment for kidney and bladder concerns, making it a key component of this formula.
3.) Cranberry and Blueberry Extracts — Microbial Balance and pH Support
These berry extracts offer antimicrobial activity while also helping maintain a favorable urinary tract environment. Like many areas of the body, the urinary tract has its own microbiome. Maintaining proper pH balance supports beneficial bacteria and discourages the growth of unwanted microbes. This is also why probiotics can be valuable for long-term urinary health.
4.) Uva Ursi and Goldenseal — Traditional Antimicrobial Herbs
Uva ursi has a long history of traditional use for urinary concerns. It provides antibacterial activity while also acting as a natural diuretic to encourage fluid flow.
Goldenseal complements this action with additional antimicrobial support and soothing effects on mucous membranes. In classical herbology, it is often referred to as “the king of mucous membranes.”
5.) Dandelion and Parsley — Gentle Diuretic and Microbiome Support
Dandelion and parsley further support urine flow and help ease discomfort. Dandelion root is naturally rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy balance of bacteria is important, as microorganisms can move between the gut and urinary tract. Supporting beneficial flora contributes to overall urinary wellness.
Staying UTI-Free: The Role of Probiotics
Once symptoms resolve, prevention becomes the priority.
Probiotics — particularly strains within the Lactobacillus genus, found in Probiotics Synergy — play an important role in maintaining urinary tract health. After addressing acute symptoms with UTI Relief Synergy, ongoing use of Probiotics Synergy helps support a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in both the digestive and urinary microbiome. Maintaining this balance can discourage the overgrowth of unwanted bacteria and provides practical, long-term support for urinary wellness when used consistently as part of a daily routine.
Until next time, be well.
