ACIDIF is a food supplement based on l-methionine and concentrated dry extract of Canadian cranberry

ACIDIF® is a food supplement based on L-Methionine and concentrated dry extract of Canadian cranberry (cranberry) with a high titration of proanthocyanidins.

L-Methionine
L-Methionine is part of the essential amino acids and, as such, is an important constituent of the human body. L-Methionine, which our body is unable to produce, but must be introduced from the outside, is the only essential amino acid that contains sulfur in its formula. The availability of L-Methionine (as a sulfur donor) in sufficient quantity is the necessary condition for the biosynthesis of cysteine, a sulphured amino acid. A large number of Gram-negative bacteria is able to alkalize the urine by enzymatic degradation of urea, thus determining favorable growth conditions. The maintenance of a physiological pH obtained by the action of L-Methionine, manages to create unfavorable conditions for bacterial colonization.

Cranberry
Recent studies have focused on the antibacterial effects of Canadian cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon - cranberry) aimed at the adhesion of some bacteria to the urinary epithelium. Women suffering from recurrent urinary infections appear to be particularly sensitive to the adhesion of uropathogenic bacteria. The uropathogenic strains rely on the adhesion of type P fimbriae to allow colonization and the related infectious process. According to these studies, cranberry proanthocyanidins prevent the adhesion of P-type fimbriae of E. coli uropathogenic strains.

ACIDIF, thanks to its components, helps to promote the correct functionality of the urinary tract, creating unfavorable conditions for bacterial development and proliferation.

ACIDIF comes in retard tablets with gradual release and with a gastroprotective coating. This optimizes tolerability and guarantees a constant release of its components over time.
