Urinary Tract Infections: Supplements for Prevention Spain is experiencing a rise in urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly during the summer months. A recent video by Spanish doctor and health influencer Isabel Vina (@isabelvina) offers advice on supplements that may help prevent these infections. Vina, known for her podcast "Tus amigas las hormonas," suggests several supplements that may reduce the risk of UTIs. "There are certain supplements that can help reduce our risk of urinary infections or cystitis," Vina explains in her video. She recommends D-mannose (500-1500mg), standardized cranberry extract rich in proanthocyanidins (36mg), Polyporus mushroom (500-600mg), and uva ursi extract (100-200mg). She also mentions specific probiotic strains like Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1. Vina stresses the importance of drinking plenty of water and avoiding sugary drinks. She cautions that not all supplements need to be taken simultaneously, and a combination is often sufficient.
