Description
SFI Health Ellura is a specialized cranberry extract supplement designed to support urinary tract and bladder health. Known in some regions as Flordis Ellura or Urell, this supplement is formulated to help reduce the occurrence of medically diagnosed cystitis, commonly known as urinary tract infections (UTIs), in both adults and children.
Key Ingredient
Each capsule of Ellura contains a concentrated cranberry juice powder, standardized to provide 36 mg of bioactive proanthocyanidins (PACs). This specific dosage is achieved through a precise measurement method, ensuring consistency and efficacy. The cranberry extract in Ellura is equivalent to 50 g of fresh cranberry fruit per capsule, offering a potent natural solution.
Mechanism of Action
The bioactive PACs in Ellura work by preventing bacteria, including strains of Escherichia coli, from adhering to the urinary tract walls. This action supports the natural flushing of bacteria from the bladder, thereby maintaining urinary tract health.
Clinical Research
Ellura's formulation is backed by extensive clinical research, including 21 clinical studies and numerous traditional medicine approvals worldwide. The clinically researched dose of 36 mg PACs has been shown to effectively reduce the frequency of UTIs in both children and adults.
