'Life-changing' UTI supplement that gave a '58-year-old the bladder of an 18-year-old'

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are incredibly common, especially among women. From constant urges, to painful trips to the bathroom, recurring UTIs can seriously disrupt daily life and in turn, impact wellbeing - often leading to repeated courses of antibiotics and ongoing frustration.

UTIs can affect the bladder, urethra or kidneys, and can include symptoms such as pain while peeing, blood in the pee, and pain in the tummy or back, with infections usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. While hydrating, hygiene and cranberry supplements are among some of the recommendations, many are turning to targeted support that works with the body's natural microbiome.

Now shoppers can grab the pH Hero Vaginal Health Support 30 capsules from Dr Vegan for a monthly subscription of £24.64 down from £28.99 to help. They can also get an additional 25% off first orders with code PH25.

pH Hero, according to the brand, is an award-winning formula of scientifically studied live, friendly bacteria and botanicals for urinary tract health, helping protect against discomfort and supporting the vaginal microbiome. It includes five strains of live cultures providing 20bn CFU (colony forming units), prebiotics, Cranberry, Sea Buckthorn and Nettle for effective support.

The ingredients in the pH Hero have a number of benefits such as Sea Buckthorn, a hardy shrub or small tree which has adapted to grow in harsh maritime conditions, on salt-laden sand dunes, riverbanks, forest margins and coastlines. Sea Buckthorn, the brand says, "contributes to the mucosal function of the vagina, providing support in the case of vaginal dryness, and maintaining healthy skin from within."

While Nettle adds natural detoxifying properties and has been widely studied for its role in supporting the urinary tract.

Parsley works to support kidney function and healthy urinary flow, making it a useful addition for those looking to maintain regular excretory health. Cranberry, a go-to remedy for many dealing with recurrent UTIs, brings antioxidant power to help combat oxidative stress. The formula is rooted out with Vitamin B6, which helps regulate hormonal activity and supports normal cysteine synthesis - important for maintaining the balance within the urinary and vaginal microbiomes.

For some alternatives, shoppers could instead try the Intimate Flora for Women for £21.99 from Time Health which has contains specific probiotic strains and has cranberry and d-mannose for urinary tract support. Another option is the Natures Aid Cranberry 500mg for £8.22 from Health Store Express which is said to benefit UTIs, detoxification and can remove toxins from the blood.

ThepH Hero however has been rated highly among its users. One person named Leslie said: "pH hero has totally changed my life. I am 58 with the bladder of an 18 year old. I was having so many problems and constantly wanting the toilet before I found pH Hero. Now I don't wake in the night and I don't need the loo constantly. I adore this product I have been on it now a year and wont be without it again.”

"PH Hero has been the very first product in over 20 years that keeps UTIs at bay. If, like me, you suffer and rely on antibiotics and cranberry, take PH Hero. I haven't had a UTI since taking them," said Melinda.

Not everyone felt the same way however as some people took to Trustpilot to share other reviews. One said: "Plenty of guidance and feed requested from customers, but still haven't received the product yet! I ordered and paid on 3rd May and it still hasn't arrived."

Alex, another shopper, said: "This has been a total game-changer for me. I was crippled with constant UTI’s for years, nothing worked and over a few weeks they stopped and nothing since.”
