Description
"Uva Ursi Extract" is a supplement derived from the leaves and berries of the bearberry shrub, known for its arbutin and tannin content. The arbutin compounds convert to hydroquinones, which help maintain microbial balance in the urinary tract. Natural tannins contribute to its astringent properties, supporting bladder function. Uva Ursi has a long history of use in herbal preparations focused on urinary health. Its composition makes it a well-established choice in botanical supplementation for urinary tract maintenance.
