Compositions for preventing urinary system infections, contain
constituents provided for exerting simultaneous actions in order to
suppress pathogenic germs causing these infections or to reduce their
harmfulness and to reinforce the integrity of the wall of urinary paths.
The first action is obtained by constituents which exert an antibacterial
action onto germs present in the urinary paths, an antibacterial action
onto germs present in the gastro-intestinal tract thereby reducing the
colonization by these urinary path germs, and reduce their ability to
adhere to the wall of the urinary system. The constituents exerting the
first action are polyphenols extracted from garlic and from plants
selected from: Ericaceae, Saxifragaceae, Vitaceae and Caprifoliaceae
families. The second action is obtained by polyunsaturated fatty acids of
the family n-3 that enable the reduction of wall inflammation and the
bringing of the immune system back into balance.
