Uva ursi contraindications

[Bernadette_Abraham]

@healthyliving99 uva ursi isn’t safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It can also affect the liver and kidneys, and may trigger contractions, so it’s best to avoid it. It’s also not meant for long-term use – only short bursts (like 5–7 days max).

D-mannose however is generally safe and is a great option for UTIs, even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If pregnant or nursing, I’d stick with just D-mannose and maybe add in cranberry or probiotics high in lactobacillus which creates an acidic environment that doesn’t allow yeast/bacteria to overgrow.
