Active Ingredients used for Other Nonspecific Findings On Examination Of Urine:

Cranberry, Dandelion, Ginger, Phosphates Phosphorus, Scotch Broom Herb And Flower Sparteine

Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon)	in large quantities, cranberry juice may lower urine ph, making it more acidic. contrary to prior opinion, urine acidification does not appear to be the way that cranberry prevents urinary tract infections. more research is needed in this area.	c
dandelion (taraxacum officinale)	dandelion leaves have traditionally been used to increase urine production and excretion. animal studies report mixed results, and there is a lack of reliable human research in this area.	c
ginger (zingiber officinale roscoe)	it is unclear if ginger can help treat urinary disorders in patients recovering from strokes.	c
phosphates, phosphorus	long term, slow release neutral potassium phosphate has been shown to reduce calcium excretion in subjects with absorptive hypercalciuria and appears to be well tolerated. this use of phosphates may be considered to prevent kidney stone formation.	c
scotch broom (cytisus scoparius linn.) herb and flower, sparteine	scotch broom preparations, particularly those made from the flower, have been used traditionally as diuretics (to increase urination). diuretic effects have been attributed by some to the constituent scoparin or scoparoside. there is insufficient scientific evidence at this time to form clear conclusions about safety or efficacy in humans.	c
