Juniper Berries
Overview
Juniper berries offer nutritional support to the urinary system and help the body maintain proper fluid balance.
Juniper berries are found on the evergreen juniper shrub, which grows widely throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
Juniper berries have been used by many cultures throughout the ages for both food and medicine.
Olympic athletes in Ancient Greece used juniper berries as stimulants. Their Roman neighbors used the dried berries as a pepper-like spice on food. And, juniper berries are the principal flavoring agent for gin, providing its distinctive taste.
In traditional Turkish medicine, juniper berries are used for gastrointestinal and urinary problems.
And in European folk medicine, juniper berries were used for head discomfort, as well as sore and swollen joints.
Our Juniper Berries are non-GMO verified and wild-crafted. We've also added Asparagus stem for extra nutritional support for the urinary system.

How It Works
Juniper Berries
Juniper berries have been used traditionally to support the urinary system and help the body maintain normal levels of uric acid, a waste product that is filtered out by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Research suggests that juniper berries help increase urine flow without the loss of electrolytes. Juniper berries also help stimulate the production of digestive fluids and have been used to settle the stomach and improve appetite. Plus, juniper berries may help blood sugar regulation and pancreatic function. Juniper berries provide vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, chromium, antioxidant proanthocyanidins, and quercetin—a powerful antioxidant that also helps vitamin C work longer.
Asparagus
Asparagus plants are native to much of Europe and western Asia. Asparagus has been used as a medicinal vegetable for over 2,000 years. Asparagus is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C and K, as well as potassium, iron and zinc. Asparagus is also packed with antioxidants such as glutathione, a powerful free-radical scavenger. Asparagus is well-known as a natural diuretic that promotes urinary flow to eliminate excess salt and fluid from the body. Asparagus contains compounds that may also support the body's healthy action against foreign invaders in the urinary tract.
