What the urinary system does
Your kidneys filter blood and make urine, which travels down the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until you empty it through the urethra. Women have a shorter urethra than men, which is one reason urinary concerns are more common in women and why many women look for extra support.
Where FemiCore fits
FemiCore includes two botanicals most associated with urinary-support formulas: cranberry extract and bearberry (uva ursi). Alongside them sit five Lactobacillus strains that relate to the body's natural bacterial balance. Together they are designed to support normal urinary tract health as part of your daily nutrition. They are not a treatment for infection.

Habits that support urinary health
- Drink enough fluid that your urine stays pale yellow.
- Don't routinely hold urine for long periods.
- Urinate after sex and wipe front to back.
- Choose breathable cotton underwear and avoid harsh scented washes.
- Keep constipation in check with fiber and fluids.
When to call a doctor
Burning when you urinate, cloudy or bloody urine, fever, back or side pain, or symptoms that keep coming back need medical attention. A supplement is not a substitute for diagnosis or antibiotics when they are needed.
Remember: FemiCore is a dietary supplement. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Follow the directions on your label and talk to your healthcare provider if you are unsure.
