Potassium citrate is included to alkalanize the urine, thereby creating unfavourable conditions for the growth of E. coli. Uva ursi is widely used to treat uninary tract infections and approved by German commission E. It contains allantoin which helps to strengthen the urinary system and the prostate gland.
