Solaray Continence with Flowtrol (60 Vegetarian Capsules)

Regain your confidence and daily freedom with Solaray Continence with Flowtrol, an advanced herbal bladder strength formula crafted to promote optimal urinary tone, sphincter control, and urinary tract comfort. Whether you experience sudden urges, occasional leakage from laughing, coughing, or exercising, or wake up repeatedly throughout the night to use the restroom, this synergistic botanical complex delivers targeted, non-prescription support. By pairing standardized, pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-free (PA-free) Butterbur root extract with Solaray’s proprietary Flowtrol™ blend - featuring clinically researched CranActin® AF™ Cranberry and time-honored traditional tonic herbs - Continence with Flowtrol works naturally to relax smooth muscle tissue while reinforcing the lining of your bladder and urinary tract.

Why Choose Continence with Flowtrol for Bladder Support?

Bladder control challenges affect over 13 million Americans, more than 80% of whom are women. Factors such as childbirth, hormonal fluctuations during menopause, pelvic floor muscle weakness, and age-related changes in bladder capacity can make frequent bathroom trips a daily disruption. Solaray Continence with Flowtrol is formulated with a multi-angle approach:

• Soothes Overactive Smooth Muscle: Standardized Butterbur extract delivers active petasins and sesquiterpenes to naturally calm spasmodic smooth muscle contractions in the bladder wall (detrusor muscle).
• Inhibits Bacterial Adhesion: Formulated with genuine CranActin® Cranberry AF™ (Anti-Adherence Factor) extract to safeguard the mucosal lining of the bladder and urinary tract.
• Tonifies Bladder & Kidney Energy: Utilizes four prized Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) botanicals historically prescribed to firm sphincter control and diminish urinary frequency.
• Enhanced Bioavailability: Augmented with aerial Lobelia to synergistically support tissue relaxation and optimize the absorption of active constituents.

Key Ingredients & How Flowtrol™ Works

Unlike single-ingredient supplements, Solaray Continence with Flowtrol combines Western phytotherapy with Eastern tonic herbalism to target the root mechanisms of urinary urgency and pelvic tone: [Standardized Butterbur (15% Sesquiterpenes)] --> Relaxes Bladder Smooth Muscle (Spasm Relief)                          + [CranActin® AF™ Cranberry Extract]              --> Creates Bacterial Anti-Adherence Defense                          + [Four-Herb TCM Tonic Complex (5:1 Extracts)]   --> Strengthens Bladder Tone & Reduces Nighttime Frequency                          ¦                          >         Balanced, Dependable Bladder Control  

1. Standardized Butterbur Root Extract (Petasites hybridus) - 100 mg

Butterbur has long been recognized by the German Commission E for its antispasmodic action on smooth muscle tissue. In the urinary system, premature contractions of the detrusor muscle lead to the sudden, uncontrollable sensation of having to urinate. Solaray's extract is standardized to guarantee 15 mg (15%) sesquiterpenes (including petasin and isopetasin) and is strictly lab-verified to be pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) safe (certified under 5 ppm), eliminating the hepatotoxic compounds found in unpurified plants.

2. CranActin® AF™ Cranberry Extract (Vaccinium macrocarpon)

A pioneer in urinary health, Solaray’s CranActin® AF™ extract is standardized for its Anti-Adherence Factor. Proanthocyanidins (PACs) create a protective, anti-stick barrier on epithelial cells lining the urethra and bladder, discouraging undesirable microbes from latching on and causing irritative urinary urgency.

3. Traditional Chinese Urinary Tonic Blend (5:1 Concentrates)

• Morinda Root (Morinda officinalis / Ba Ji Tian): Renowned in Eastern herbal traditions for warming kidney Yang and strengthening the lower pelvic muscles to improve urine retention.
• Psoralea Fruit (Psoralea corylifolia / Bu Gu Zhi): A premier astringent botanical used to tonify the bladder sphincter and prevent involuntary nighttime leakage (nocturia).
• Chinese Raspberry Fruit (Rubus chingii / Fu Pen Zi): Traditionally utilized for stabilizing the kidneys, reserving fluids, and reducing frequent, small-volume urination.
• Alpinia Fruit/Seed (Alpinia oxyphylla / Yi Zhi Ren): Specifically indicated in herbal texts to suppress uncontrollable urination, drippling, and nocturnal enuresis.

4. Lobelia Aerial Extract (Lobelia inflata)

Lobelia serves as an herbal catalyst within the formula, known in herbalism for its ability to balance autonomic nerve signals and amplify the tissue-relaxing qualities of Butterbur.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does Solaray Continence with Flowtrol help reduce bladder leakage?

Continence with Flowtrol works through a dual-action mechanism. Butterbur extract relaxes the smooth muscle tissue of the bladder wall to calm involuntary spasms and urgent contractions. At the same time, the Flowtrol™ blend - containing CranActin® cranberry and four astringent Eastern tonic herbs—reinforces mucosal lining defense and strengthens the tone of the pelvic floor and urethral sphincter.

Is the Butterbur in this formula safe for long-term daily use?

Yes. Raw Butterbur plants contain naturally occurring compounds known as pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can be harmful to the liver if ingested over time. Solaray utilizes an extraction process certified to contain no more than 5 ppm of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA-free), ensuring maximum safety, efficacy, and compliance with strict quality standards.

How quickly can I expect to notice improvements?

While individual biological responses vary, many customers report initial improvements in urinary comfort and reduced urge frequency within 1 to 2 weeks of consistent daily usage. For deeper tonic effects on bladder strength and nighttime sleep continuity, a 30- to 60-day trial period is recommended.

Can men take Continence with Flowtrol, or is it only for women?

Although bladder leakage disproportionately affects women due to childbirth and post-menopausal tissue changes, Continence with Flowtrol is equally suitable for men. Men dealing with an overactive detrusor muscle, frequent nighttime urination, or sudden urgency can benefit from its smooth muscle relaxation and urinary support herbs.

Does this supplement replace prescription medications for overactive bladder?

No. Solaray Continence with Flowtrol is a natural dietary supplement designed to support normal structure and physiological function of the bladder and urinary tract. It is not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose acute medical conditions such as urinary tract infections or neurogenic bladder. Always consult your primary physician prior to modifying any prescribed medication regimen.

Are there any allergens or artificial additives in this product?

Continence with Flowtrol comes in 100% vegetarian plant cellulose capsules. It contains no artificial colors, synthetic flavors, or harsh binders. Please consult the full other ingredient listing above if you have individual dietary sensitivities.
