What the Research Shows
Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, bearberry) extract provides arbutin — a glycoside that is converted to hydroquinone in alkaline urine, supporting urinary tract antimicrobial activity. Research supports its traditional use for urinary tract comfort, particularly in combination with adequate hydration and urinary alkalinization.
