Vaginal probiotics may seem exclusive to women’s health, but our formulation is different. Ham’s private parties are not just vaginal probiotics, they are also urinary tract health supplements. In addition to clinically studied strains that support vaginal microbiome health, our formulation also contains powerful ingredients that support urinary tract health. The best part? This particular ingredient is effective for both women and men.
That’s right: Ham’s private parties can also be used as a urinary tract health supplement for men. How exactly does it work? Through cranberry PAC, a powerful compound that promotes healthy urinary tract. Learn how Cranberry PAC supports men’s urinary tract health and what you can look for in men’s urinary tract health supplements.
What is a cranberry pack?
“Cranberries are made up of beneficial bioactive compounds called PACs,” explains Gaby Vaca-Flores, RDN, CLE, and Senior Education and Scientific Affairs Manager at Hum Nutrition. “These biological activities are a type of flavonoid that offers the benefits of antibiotics.” PACs, or proanthocyanidins, are phytochemicals of the polyphenol family. Its extremely high antioxidant content provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits as well as cardiac and neuroprotection. They are found naturally in flowers, seeds and dark berries. Cranberries are particularly rich in type A PAC, and are particularly effective in supporting urinary tract health.
How does cranberry pack support urinary tract health?
Think of the cranberry pack as the front line fighter of the urinary tract. “One of the main ways that cranberry PACs offer benefits is to disrupt the biological activity of bacteria in the urinary tract,” says Vaca-Flores. “This action helps to address the imbalances that occur when too many bad bacteria accumulate in the lining of the urinary tract mucosa.”
Cranberry Juice vs Cranberry Supplement: Which is better?
I’ve heard that drinking cranberry juice helps UTIs. That’s true. Drinking cranberry juice concentrates and eating cranberries can help you increase your daily dosage of cranberry PAC. “But the challenge is knowing how many cranberries you eat and drink to get clinically effective doses of PAC,” explains Vaca-Flores. “Factors such as fruit quality and juice processing make it difficult to determine the number of cranberry PACs in a particular serving of cranberry or juice.” So, if you really want to support urinary tract health, taking supplements with the right amount of cranberry PACS is the best option.
What to look for in urinary tract health supplements?
When it comes to urinary tract health supplements, you need to make sure you get the correct dose. “For best results, you should look for cranberry supplements that provide standardized amounts of cranberry PAC (such as a private party in ham). “Studies show that standardized cranberry to provide 36 milligrams of PAC are the most effective at providing urinary tract health benefits.”
Can men really take a private party as a urinary tract health supplement?
Don’t discourage you by the fact that it’s also a vaginal probiotic: a private party can be a very effective urinary tract health supplement for men. This is because it is prescribed at a considerable level of cranberry PAC. “One of the great things about Cranberry PACS is that it supports urinary tract health in both men and women,” says Vaca-Flores. “This is why men interested in supporting the urinary tract can benefit from trying private parties.”
FAQ
Who should take cranberry packs?
Anyone who is concerned about urinary tract health can benefit from taking Cranberry PAC. Women experience UTIs more commonly, but men can experience them too.
Is there a risk of taking cranberry PAC?
“Cranberry PACs are generally considered safe to use when there are few known side effects in adults,” says Vaca-Flores. However, there is complex evidence that people who predispose to kidney stones should avoid excessive amounts of cranberries. Cranberries contain calcium oxalate, a mineral that can cause kidney stones when they accumulate. If you have a tendency to kidney stones, consult your doctor before adding cranberry or cranberry-containing products to your daily routine.
Do I need to store my personal party in the fridge?
Some probiotics need to be stored in cold environments, but private parties are shelf stable. You can store it where you want and bring it with you while you travel and worry.
