This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Uricalm for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

When someone asks me what the worst pain I’ve ever felt is, they expect me to start talking about the birth of my children.

More than a few times, I’ve surprised them with the story about the time I got a urinary tract infection in college.

It was seriously no joke – I had never experienced such intense burning pain before and didn’t know what to do! I remember yelling at my friend to go grab my phone so I could call my mom! 🙂

According to a the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, urinary tract infections are the second most common type of infection in the body, accounting for about 8.1 million visits to health care providers each year. ¹

Up to half of all women will experience a painful urinary tract infection in their lifetime. Twenty percent will experience recurring UTIs, getting as many as 3 per year.

I remember the pain of that infection all too clearly.

When Uricalm asked if I’d like to write about their products, I jumped at the chance! I would never wish a urinary tract infection on anyone, so I’m happy to spread the word about Uricalm!

Uricalm® MAX and URICALM® Cranberry

Uricalm sent me two products – Uricalm® MAX and URICALM® Cranberry. Fortunately, I don’t have a current UTI so I didn’t need to take Uricalm® MAX, but I have been taking the Uricalm® Cranberry.

URICALM® Cranberry is a daily cranberry supplement that helps support your urinary tract health*. It combines the power of cranberries and D-mannose – both shown in studies to help support a healthy urinary tract* — into a delicious, berry-flavored chewable tablet.

I was familiar with the role cranberry plays is urinary tract health*, but unfamiliar with D-MANNOSE. D-MANNOSE helps prevent the adherence of certain microorganisms to the walls of the urinary tract – allowing your body’s natural defenses to help keep your urinary tract healthy*.

I was surprised at how good Uricalm Cranberry with D-Mannose tastes. I expected it to be chalky like antacid tablets, but it actually kinda tastes like cranberry candy! It’s very pleasant to take. 

And all you need each day to maintain urinary tract health is two small tablets.

I wish I had known about Uricalm® Max when I had my urinary tract infection!

When a UTI strikes, Uricalm® Max urinary pain medicine promptly stops urinary pain, burning, increased frequency and sensation of urgency. Contains 99.5 mg of clinically proven Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride per tablet and 199 mg per dose — the highest dose UTI pain medicine of this type you can buy over the counter.

Uricalm MAX Pain Tablets contain Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride – the active ingredient in URICALM® MAX – is the #1 UTI pain relief ingredient preferred by women and by doctors.

Like URICALM® Cranberry, Uricalm® MAX also has cranberry in it – widely believed to be beneficial to urinary tract health.*
