Cystex Urinary Health Products
I don’t often talk about my chronic health problems here on our blog but today, I am going to tell you something about them. I am chronically ill and have a wide variety of ailments. One of the things I have been having issues with for the past year is chronic urinary tract infections aka UTI’s and most of that is due to me passing a lot of kidney stones.
I was sent 2 products to try out for all of you from Cystex and I am going to tell you a little about them & how they are helping me with my UTI’s.
Info from the company: Cranberries have long played a role in helping many women, particularly those with recurring urinary tract infections, to promote better bladder health. However, bitterness of pure cranberry juice can make it intolerable for most to drink on a daily basis, and cranberry juice cocktail, which has less health impact than pure cranberry juice, can be loaded with sugar & calories, offsetting any potential bladder health benefits.
The Cystex PLUS Urinary Pain Relief Tablets can help you manage UTI symptoms from 2 angles! The dual-action formula has an analgesic to relieve the pain/burning, as well as an antibacterial agent (methenamine) to inhibit the progression of the infection until you can get in to see your doctor. Another plus about this tablets is that they won’t discolor your urine and stain your underwear like that “other” prescription and non-prescription drug. Trust me, I have tossed out my fair share of discolored underwear thanks to those types of medications!
The dosage of this product is: Adults and children over the age of 12 years should take 2 tablets with a full glass of water, 3 times a day. You should also drink plenty of fluids! As with all prescription & non-prescription medications, you should consult your doctor if you have any health problems or are on any medications.
The Cystex Cranberry Liquid Supplement comes in a ready-to-use bottle and is recommended by urologists. This is a great-tasting, drug-free, daily supplement that is clinically proven to promote good urinary health. It delivers the benefit of cranberry juice in its unique, convenient Proantinox cranberry formula and it is sugar-free! It is more than just a cranberry concentrate, it’s proprietary blend also contains D-Mannose, Inulin, Bromelain and Vitamin C, a formulation that is designed to boost bladder health.
The dosage of this product is: Adults and children over the age of 12 years should take 1 tablespoon daily. It can be taken twice daily by adults and you should drink plenty of fluids while taking it.
My Thoughts: The day these 2 products arrived I already knew I was working on another UTI because 3 days earlier I had passed another dreadful kidney stone. With each stone I pass, an infection in my bladder and urethra set in. The burning, itching, discomfort and frequency of urination is miserable to say the least! I decided to start on this new Cystex program immediately and have been taking both the tablets and the liquid every day for the past week or so.
First off…the taste! They actually taste good, so no worries there! In addition, they didn’t upset or irritate my tummy which is always super sensitive. The relief you get is not immediate…but I would say that within a couple of hours, the burning and frequency was definitely calming down. Usually when this happens to me, I have to go onto antibiotics and take that nasty pill that discolors your urine. Well, I think because I started on the Cystex immediately, I was able to avoid that.
I did call my doctor and she did know that I was trying the Cystex and gave me full permission to do it. She told me that if in 3 days I was not better to get back onto my antibiotics. Well, I am here a week later telling you all that I didn’t need them and the Cystex worked great for me! I quit taking the tablets but I am still taking the Cystex Cranberry Liquid Supplement to help improve my bladder health. It is nice to know that the next time this flares up, I can get into my medicine cabinet and immediately get started on the Cystex Plus tablets! Yeah!
I am not a doctor and I don’t make any medical claims with this post. I am just sharing my personal experience with the Cystex products with all of you!
