Ethical Nutrients Urinary Tract Support Questions & Answers
VerifiedCan I crush these tablets as I have a swallow disorder
How long should you continue to take UTI tablets 20 a day, when I start to reduce down to 12 tablets my uti comes back
Will my system get resistant to this product? For how long should I take the maintenance dose to avoid flare ups and totally eliminate the bacterium causing the infections?
Can I take inner health and urinary tract support together
I have taken all 90 pills in 24 hours, is this bad?
Depends what is in the tablets. I found the tablets totally useless for uti. My water fairly clears if I drink 2 glasses orange juice with pulp each day, plus 2 vit C 500mg, plus a multi vit & min tablet. Also think dandelion root tea & green tea helped me. You have to combine it all together, but it may not help with all the types of bacteria that can cause uti. Also, the bacteria form biofilms, meaning they can be harbouring semi dormant burrowed into lining of your bladder under a protective shield that can even resist antibiotics. With stress or poor routine they can break out again and cloudy urine reappears, due to millions of them multiplying in ideal warm urine stored in your bladder.
I have a very painful bladder but no infection now, how long can I take 4 x5 tablets a day.
from my experience the tablets are useless.
It’s works for me too, and I’m here trying to find out how long can I take it. Took 5 tablets twice a day, now down to 4 once a day. Can I go on this for a few months
I have a very painful bladder but no infection now, how long can I stay on 4 x 5 tablets a day as they are really helping.
Does this product help Over ACTIVE BLADDER
I’m interested in trying this product Can I use it as a prophylactic before sex and after to stop uti occurring? Or have to take everyday?
Is this product safe to take at any stage in pregnancy?
I have been taking urinary tract support for many years now. Is it possible that it could be contributing to generalised aches and pains. I put these down to aging(I am 59) but just wondered about the safety of using them long term

does this product contain any malt or maltodextrin
Can you take this with Aldrin antibiotic
You'll need to ask your doctor about this, I'm simply a happy customer.
I am pregnant 8 weeks and been on antibiotics for 2 weeks. I am tired of having recurring uti. Is this tablet safe for pregnancy?
Hi Rifa, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm not a doctor, but i can tell you the tabs are only Chinese herbs - check with your naturopath or doctor for suitability. Very best wishes - Renie
Hi there, I started on the Urinary tract support tablets a few days ago and am thrilled to say it has really helped with my symptoms. The lady who advised me at the health food store suggested I start on a probiotic as well which I have. I have now developed thrush in my mouth. Is this from the Urinary tract support tablets, given that I am required to take so many whilst I still have symptoms or is this from the probiotic? From all the information I've read, it seems unlikely to be probiotic. I barely have symptoms now so would perhaps going down to the three tablets/four times a day help. Kind regards, Fran
Hi Fran, I had no problems whatsoever with thrush and didn't take any probiotics ... perhaps your naturopath can help?? Best of luck :-)
Is this product safe while breastfeeding?
Hi Kirralee - I can't answer your question, but the ingredients listed in this product are Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs: Cherokee Rose 1.5g; China Root 1.2g; Japanese Climbing Fern 822mg. You might like to check with your naturopath for confirmation. Good luck!
Hi, my daughter who is almost 3 has recurrent UTIs, is this supplement appropriate to use on her? And if so at what dose both preventatively and for an acute infection?
Sorry Kate I’m a man who found it useful for a time. I’d suggest you ask your chemist shop, mine has a great naturopathic on staff at Discount Drug Stores Albany most helpful- perhaps a Doctor & tests would help.
I use all of these
Hope this helps you find what’s needed
Thank you for your question Kate. I am sorry to hear that your daughter is experiencing recurrent infections. I can confirm that yes, you can use Ethical Nutrients Urinary Tract Support to assist in the relief of her symptoms acutely and prevent re-infections, longer term.
Acutely we would recommend that she take 3 tablets twice a day, with food. The tablets are small, however, if she cannot swallow them you can crush them up and add them to a small amount of honey and she can take the mixture off the spoon. Alternatively you can add to some juice [the herbs will suspend not dissolve].
To help prevent further infections, we would recommend the ongoing dose of 1 to 1 and a half tablets per day – taken as above.
In addition, to support the preventative effects of Urinary Tract Support I would also highly recommend the use of Inner Health Candex SD. This is a specific probiotic formulation to prevent the adherence of bad bacteria and help her immune system. Supporting long term prevention and urinary tract health.
If you have any questions regarding this product please feel free to contact our technical support team on 1800 777 648.
Great thank you so much for that, very helpful!
Can you take Ethical Neutrients Urinary Tract Support while on antibiotics? thank you
Do you have to take these with food or is it ok without?
Hi Bill
I always had them with my meal whatever you have.
I’m not taking them lately - really cost driven but they did help
All the best
Hi Bill, thanks for your question. This product is suitable to consume on an empty stomach. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to ask.
Hi for maintenace of healthy urinary tract, what is the proper maintenance dose for this product ? As according to the bottle its 3 tablets 4 times in a day. Is that right ? Or is it just 2 tablets twice a day ?
i actually made mistake. i tried probiotics but not supplements of this brand
Well it worked well, but I gradually weaned off it completely. It was a great help in the beginning, but then eased off in effectiveness after a few months
Yes the dose is typically higher for this particular product, as it is based off of a traditional Chinese medicine herbal combination. Therefore the acute dose if 3 tablets 4 times per day. Once symptoms subside you can lower the dose. If you have any questions regarding this product please feel free to contact our technical support team on 1800 777 648.
Hi Ethical Nutrients Official, according to the ethical nutrient website acute treatment should be 5 tablets 4x a day! and for maintenance should be 3 tablets 4x a day which is still high for a maintenance dose. What you are posting with the dose is very conflicting and makes confusion.
