Independent research shows the influence of formulation and proanthocyanidins (PAC) solubility on in vitro and ex vivo P-fimbriated E. coli bacterial Anti-Adhesion Activity (AAA).
Dr. Suzette Sutherland shares her clinical strategy on the latest in UTI evaluation and management as incidence of drug resistant pathogens continues to rise and there are limited new antibiotics, creating a perfect storm for antibiotic resistance.
Brooke Faught, DNP, WHNP-BC, NCMP, FAANP, IF, shares her strategies for addressing painful sex, diminished arousal/orgasm, incontinence, recurrent UTIs and other pelvic health issues with reluctant patients.
That has been a significant part of my protocol, a medical-grade supplement that contains cranberry proanthocyanidins (PAC), specifically 36mg of soluble A-type PAC. I have never had a patient unable to tolerate the PAC approach.
It all starts with proanthocyanidins (PACs), a natural ingredient found in cranberries. In the right concentration soluble PACs, which are rapidly bioavailable and bioactive, are proven to provide high levels of anti-adhesion activity, preventing UTI-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract wall.
ellura is made using a proprietary process that allows us to access potent, bioactive PACs, giving your patients the highest levels of anti-adhesion activity and stopping rUTIs before they start.

Antimicrobial resistance is one factor that has led to an increasing interest in the scientific community to study non-antibiotic modalities in the prevention of rUTI, including the use of probiotics and the consumption of cranberry products.
As a doctor, you may be prescribing a daily antibiotic to treat UTIs, but also as preventive therapy for recurrent infections. Multiple studies demonstrate that poor compliance, along with repeated antibiotic use leads to resistance and, therefore, makes it harder to prevent infection.
In early 2015 the World Health Organization endorsed a global action plan to tackle antibiotic resistance, the most urgent drug resistance trend compromising your ability to treat infectious disease.¹ On top of bacterial resistance, unwanted side effects of antibiotics beg a new solution for managing recurrent UTIs.
Now, you can feel confident in recommending ellura, a medical-grade, non-antibiotic alternative for preventing UTIs. ellura is a dietary supplement that contains a natural ingredient and has gone through complex extraction and extensive testing to harness the power of its bioactive ingredient, PAC (proanthocyanidins), to work on the offense, trapping and flushing out harmful bacteria before they can make themselves at home.
We recommend your patients take ellura with an antibiotic at the onset of infection and then continue taking ellura once daily to keep their urinary tract in check and to constantly flush out bad bacteria that could lead to future UTIs.
