FAQ
Q:What is uva ursi extract and where does it come from?
A:Uva ursi extract is made from the dried leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, a low-growing evergreen shrub commonly called bearberry, native to northern temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. The leaves have a long traditional history in European herbal medicine for urinary tract comfort. Our extract is processed from cultivated or sustainably wild-collected leaf material with documented origin.
Q:What ratios are available for uva ursi extract?
A:We supply uva ursi extract in customizable ratios such as 4:1, 10:1, and 20:1, as well as custom ratios tailored to your formulation needs. The ratio indicates the concentration of the extract relative to the original dried leaf material. Please contact us with your target ratio and application for a tailored quotation.
Q:How does uva ursi extract work for urinary tract wellness?
A:Uva ursi leaves contain phenolic glycosides including arbutin, which is metabolized in the body to hydroquinone and excreted in urine where it has been studied for antibacterial activity against common urinary pathogens. The leaf's tannin fraction adds astringent properties that support the traditional urinary-comfort use. These two actions explain why uva ursi has been a staple of European urinary health phytotherapy for generations.
Q:Which applications use uva ursi extract besides supplements?
A:Besides dietary supplements for urinary comfort, uva ursi extract is used in herbal medicine granules, tinctures, and tea blends in markets where the herb is permitted. The arbutin molecule is also a cosmetic skin-care active, valued in brightening formulations. We can support ingredient-grade documentation for both supplement and personal-care customers.
Q:What documents and certifications do you provide with uva ursi orders?
A:Each batch ships with a COA covering identification, moisture, heavy metals, and microbiology, plus a certificate of origin for the leaf material.
