Pears (and raspberries) are low-acid foods, that don’t irritate the bladder.
Always check with your GP before taking supplements if on medication (also for women if pregnant or nursing). Keep them away from children and pets, and recycle unused supplements and medicines at pharmacies (never flush them down the loo).
Take 1 capsule per day (morning or evening, with or without food – take at least 20 minutes before or after hot food or drink).

- In 2 weeks (less itchiness and urgency to urinate)
- In 1 month (less dryness and discharge)
- In 2 months (fewer signs of burning, itching or infections)
Simple tips for good urinary health
- Lose weight (carrying extra weight puts more pressure on the bladder). Learn to cook a few plant-based recipes!
- Stay hydrated. Six to eight glasses of water a day is a good aim for most people. Drink two glasses before each main meal, to easily achieve this. Avoid caffeine and alcohol (they can irritate the bladder). Make a few tweaks for less leaks!
- Tone up your pelvic floor muscles. These are the muscles you use to pee. Tighten as if you are about to pee, then hold for a slow count of five (don’t hold your breath). Release, reset for five seconds, and repeat 10 times. Do this three times a day.
