Betalains are nitrogenous pigments exclusive to plants of the order Caryophyllales (including prickly pear) with a distinct chemical structure from anthocyanins and potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. CactiNea® has been the subject of clinical trials that documented its ability to increase urinary volume (diuretic effect) without causing the loss of essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium), which is the main adverse effect of pharmacological diuretics (thiazides, furosemide) and many natural diuretics. This \"electrolyte-sparing diuretic\" profile is the main differentiator of CactiNea® compared to other diuretic ingredients, justifying its inclusion as the leading ingredient in the formula. In addition to its diuretic activity, CactiNea® has potent antioxidant activity (neutralization of free radicals via betalains) and documented anti-inflammatory activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorsetail (Equisetum arvense): the herbal diuretic with the longest tradition, providing kidney support and connective tissue regeneration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHorsetail (Equisetum arvense) is one of the medicinal plants with the longest and most documented tradition of diuretic use in European and Asian folk medicine, used for this purpose since ancient Greek and Roman times. The active principles responsible for its diuretic activity are flavonoids (isoquercitrin, kaempferol-3-glucoside) and potassium salts and organic silica (the aerial stem contains 5 to 8% silica). Horsetail increases urinary volume through an osmotic mechanism (the potassium from mineral salts increases renal excretion of sodium and water through ion exchange) and by direct action on glomerular filtration. In addition to its diuretic activity, the organic silica in horsetail is an essential component of collagen synthesis and glycosaminoglycans of connective tissue, which gives the extract additional properties to support skin, cartilage, tendon, and nail health. The extract used in Diuretic Pro is specifically from the aerial part (stem and foliage), which is the part richest in silica and flavonoids. Note: horsetail is not recommended during breastfeeding, which explains the specific warning on the label of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDandelion (Taraxacum officinale, root): potent diuretic naturally rich in potassium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is one of the most studied and potent plants with diuretic effects among herbal diuretics. The root is rich in inulin (a prebiotic polysaccharide with hepatic and digestive effects), taraxacin (a bitter principle), phenolic acids, flavonoids, and potassium salts. The diuretic mechanism is mainly based on the root's richness in potassium salts: by increasing potassium intake, the body proportionally excretes more sodium (via the Na+\/K+ exchange mechanism in the nephron), drawing water with it and increasing urinary volume. The fact that dandelion is naturally rich in potassium makes it a natural \"potassium-sparing\" diuretic, unlike pharmacological diuretics that deplete this mineral. In addition to its diuretic activity, dandelion root has choleretic activity (stimulation of bile production by the liver) and hepatic-renal purifying activity, making it a dual-action hepatic and renal drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtichoke (Cynara Scolymus, leaves): diuretic, choleretic, and liver protective:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eArtichoke leaf extract (Cynara Scolymus) is one of the most widely used herbal diuretics in Mediterranean tradition and has the strongest pharmacological evidence. The main active principles are cynarin (1,3-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid), chlorogenic acid, and sesquiterpene lactones (cynaropicrin). The diuretic effect results from the stimulation of bile secretion (choleretic and cholagogue activity): by increasing bile flow to the intestine, the liver needs to extract more water and electrolytes from the blood to produce bile, which indirectly increases fluid elimination. In addition to its diuretic effect, artichoke has documented hepatoprotective activity (protection of hepatocytes against oxidative stress and toxins via cynarin and chlorogenic acid) and mild hypolipidemic activity (reduction of LDL-cholesterol via inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, leaves): historical diuretic and urinary antiseptic:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBearberry (uva-ursi) is one of the medicinal plants with the oldest documented use for the urinary tract, with records of medicinal use dating back to the 2nd century AD in Greek medicine. The central active principle is arbutin (hydroquinone-β-D-glucopyranoside), which is metabolized in the urinary tract into hydroquinone, a compound with potent antimicrobial activity (bacteriostatic and bactericidal) especially effective against Escherichia coli, the main etiological agent of urinary tract infections. In addition to its antimicrobial activity, bearberry has diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity on the urinary tract epithelium (via tannins with astringent and anti-inflammatory effects). Historically, it is considered the reference herbal medicine for bladder and urinary tract health support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrthosiphon (Orthosiphon stamineus, leaves): \"java tea\" with diuretic and renal anti-inflammatory action:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOrthosiphon (also known as \"java tea\" or \"cat's whiskers tea\") is a plant native to Southeast Asia with very pronounced diuretic properties, widely used in traditional Malaysian and Thai medicine for kidney support and fluid elimination. The active principles are flavonoids (sinensetin, eupatorin, scutellarein) and rosmarinic and caffeic acids, which promote diuresis by increasing glomerular filtration and reducing tubular reabsorption of sodium and chloride. Clinical studies document that orthosiphon extract significantly increases urinary volume and the excretion of sodium, potassium, and chloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen nettle (Urtica dioica, leaves) and Green tea (Camellia sinensis, leaves): antioxidation and metabolic support:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGreen nettle has documented diuretic properties mediated by its flavonoids (isorhamnetin, kaempferol) and organic acids, and additionally contributes to joint health (via NF-κB inhibition and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines). Green tea (rich in EGCG catechins and theobromine, both with mild diuretic activity) contributes to the overall effect of the formula with broad-spectrum antioxidant activity and mild metabolic stimulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotassium citrate and magnesium citrate: compensation for electrolytes lost in increased diuresis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe inclusion of potassium citrate and magnesium citrate in the formula is a strategic and differentiating formulation choice: by increasing urinary elimination, any diuretic has the potential to deplete electrolytes. The addition of potassium and magnesium in citrate forms (the form with the best bioavailability and least gastric impact) proactively compensates for these losses, making Diuretic Pro safe for continued use without the risk of hypokalemia (low potassium) or hypomagnesemia that can occur with pharmacological diuretics without electrolyte supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take 3 capsules per day, preferably on an empty stomach.
