Spinal Cord Injuries & UTIs

Spinal Cord Injuries & UTIs - Utiva USA

If you are living with a spinal cord injury (SCI), you are likely aware that there is a higher risk of developing urinary tract infections.  Three common reasons why people with SCI are at risk include:

  1. Intermittent catheterization – constant change increases the likelihood of introducing bacteria.
  2. Indwelling (Foley) catheters – direct pathway enables bacteria to always be present.
  3. Neurogenic bladder – lacking bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or nerve problem.

    UTI prevention in Spinal Cord Injury patients

    These conditions are typically treated with antibiotics and patients are often given low dose antibiotics for prevention. This is currently the primary line of treatment and prevention to help minimize UTIs.

    Natural Urinary Tract Health solutions for Spinal Cord Injury Patients

    There have been studies showing that a natural cranberry supplement containing a concentration of 36mg Proanthocyanidins (or PACs for short) can be effective at maintaining a healthy urinary tract*. While most other cranberry supplements fail to mention the amount of PACs they contain (which usually means they do not contain enough to even warrant their mention in the ingredient list), Utiva Cranberry PACs Supplement provides a 15% concentration containing 36mg of PACs in a 240mg capsule.

    Cranberries can help prevent urinary tract infections

    Proanthocyanidins have anti-adhesion properties: they work by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract and bladder wall. This allows the bacteria to be naturally flushed out of the urinary tract*.

    Utiva UTI Control Supplement for Spinal Cord Injury Patients

    Community Magazine, published by Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, recently published an article featuring our very own 36mg PAC capsules which discusses UTI prevention.

    “Natural products, like cranberries, can aid in reducing the number of UTI recurrences. Not all cranberry products are the same and attention should be given to those with the right amount of the active ingredient from the cranberry (Proanthocyanidins). These are still not a cure but are clinically proven to show a reduction in UTIs and can help minimize the need for prophylactic antibiotic usage.”

      DR EDETANLEN IS A LIFE SAVER AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HE GOT MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME. My name is Jennifer and I am here to join the numerous people out here to thank Dr Edetanlen for his help and kind gestures towards me. I had a horrible experience going through heartbreak with my man. He left me and I was devastated and couldn’t find any sought of help to get him back. At some point I was depressed until I ran into pages where people testified about how Dr Edetanlen helped them. I contacted him and he never hesitated to help me as well. Not only did I get my man back after 48 hours, the love and happiness has also been restored better than ever. Dr Edetanlen is an amazing personality and I can’t thank him enough for his selfless services towards humanity. Contact him now via email:dredetanlensolutioncente@gmail.com or

      I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

      I was devastated when I lost all my funds to a cryptocurrency investment platform, I couldn’t withdraw my profits and my initial investment. I thought I had lost all my savings until I did some research and stumbled upon Spyweb Cyber Security & Cryptocurrency Recovery Company. I was very impressed by their reviews online and they have been very helpful to many other people who lost their funds just the same way I did. I contacted Spyweb Cyber Security Services immediately and provided them with adequate information to enable them to assist me in recovering my funds, and to my satisfaction, Spyweb Cybersecurity was able to recover my funds and have my money sent back to my wallet account. They are incredibly helpful and trustworthy. I’m truly grateful for their support and the outcome of my quest.
      I truly recommend their services.
