Improving women’s urinary comfort and quality of life with Exocyan

Women’s health is gaining ground within the dietary supplements market: The 2020 CRN Council for responsible Nutrition Consumer survey on Dietary supplements found that 77% of American women currently take supplements, as compared to 68% of men. UTIs are one of the most frequent clinical bacterial infections in women, accounting for nearly 25% of all infections. Approximately 50–60% of women report at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, and one in three will have at least one symptomatic UTI necessitating antibiotic treatment by age 24.¹

Exocyan, the Most Extensive Range of Cranberry Extracts for Women’s Health Nexira offers Exocyan, the most extensive range of organic cranberry extracts standardised in PACS content (proanthocyanidins) or in cranberry content. Nexira has developed a proprietary and reliable method of analysis which guarantees the quality and the origin of the Exocyan range. This UPLC method of identification allows to characterise adulteration by different raw material sources. Our product range is exclusively made with Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton.

Nexira has recently conducted a 6-month clinical study on 209 women having recurrent urinary discomforts with characterised impact on quality of life (QoL). Three unique formulas were tested in parallel with the highest PACs standardisation and the full active compounds profile of the fruit.

Two criteria were assessed:

Global urinary comfort
Quality of Life

From week 2, Global urinary comfort and Quality of life were significantly improved versus baseline and maintained for 6 months. Exocyan CRAN 40G was shown to have efficacy in improving the urinary comfort and psychological status of the participants. Additionally, the ingredient also had better results as measured by assessments of quality of life. 93% of consumers would recommend Exocyan 40G to a friend.
