It first happened to me as a freshman in college during
finals week.
I was desperately trying to concentrate on my exam but had
this overwhelming urge to pee.
I couldn't ignore it. It was driving me CRAZY. So I
raised my hand and got permission to go to the restroom.
I thought I'd finally get relief. But no. I couldn't
even go! It only resulted in the most excruciatingly
painful burning sensation.
Then as soon as I returned to my exam room, I felt like I
had to go again. What's going on?!
Lo and behold...
I was experiencing my first URINARY TRACT INFECTION.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common
type of infection, and are the reason for over 8 million
doctor visits every year just in the US.
Over half of all women will have at least one UTI in their
lifetime.
Men also get them, but not nearly as often as women.
(Women's physiology makes it easier for them to get UTIs,
as you'll see in a moment.)
The most common cause of UTIs is bacteria from the rectal
area getting into the urethra and then into the bladder.
This can happen in a variety of ways:
* Wearing tight-fitting pants or underwear
* Wearing sweaty or damp sportsgear for long periods of
time (such as a bathing suit or dance leotard)
* Wiping back to front (instead of front to back) after a
bowel movement
* Sexual activity
UTIs can also be caused by:
* Waiting too long to urinate
* Pregnancy
* Diabetes
* Low estrogen levels (such as with menopause)
Unfortunately, many people find themselves in a vicious
cycle of recurring UTIs. Here is why that happens:
UTIs are treated with antibiotics. While the antibiotics
do destroy the infection-causing bacteria, they also wipe
out your body's population of beneficial bacteria.
Without a strong population of helpful bacteria in your
body working for you, the bad bacteria have the "upper
hand" in your gut, your immune system is weakened and there
is a high concentration of bad bacteria in your stool and
rectal area.
So then...you are very susceptible to getting another UTI.
And if you do, you'll go back to the doctor, get another
course of antibiotics, and the cycle repeats itself.
Sadly, for some women, this can go on for weeks, months or
even years!
Sound familiar?
But there is a BETTER, more EFFECTIVE way to fight UTIs.
Super Shield helps fight and prevent UTIs in 2 ways:
1- What goes in must come out
When you have a healthy population of good bacteria in
your gut, it changes the bacterial makeup of your stool
too. With less of the harmful bacteria lurking in your
stool and rectal area, you're less likely to get a UTI.
Bingo!
2- The right strains for the job
Super Shield contains the powerhouse strains Lactobacillus
rhamnosus GG, lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 and
lactobacillus casei Shirota, all of which have been shown
in studies to be helpful in treating and preventing urinary
tract infections. Booyah!
Plus having and maintaining a good intestinal flora
balance with Super Shield will help counteract the harmful
effects of antibiotics, making it less likely that urinary
tract infections will come back again and again and again...
...and AGAIN!
If you are prone to UTIs (or want to do all you can to
PREVENT them), taking Super Shield multi-strain
pharmaceutical grade probiotic formula every day is your
ticket to life without UTIs.
PS: UTI prevention means eating right too. Modern day
foods that created too much acid in the body diet can
quickly annihilate your body's population of good bacteria,
while nourishing what the bad bacteria feed on. Learn how

Sherry:
I have been taking Super Shield for 2 months for my IBS
and stomach problems and I feel great.
I also have a skin disorder called Porokeratosis for which
the Dermatologist was no help whatsoever. It's now going
away--my skin is soft and smooth again.
