The kidneys, ureters, and bladder constitute the urinary system. The kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of the body to maintain the correct balance of water, salts, vitamins, and minerals such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium in the blood. Without this balance, nerves, muscles, and other tissues in the body may not work properly. The kidneys also make hormones that help control blood pressure, manufacture red blood cells, and keep bones strong among many other functions.
This supplement is a combination of fourteen quality ingredients formulated for support of the urinary system.
