Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common and uncomfortable women’s health issue, especially among menopausal women. Despite their prevalence, UTIs can disrupt daily life and take a toll on overall well-being.
The Urology Care Foundation reports that UTIs are the second most common form of infection, resulting in 8 million doctor’s visits annually. Up to 60% of women develop a UTI in their lifetime. Menopausal women are particularly vulnerable, with 10% of women 65 and older reporting at least one UTI every year. By the age of 85, that number will rise to 30%.
These infections can bring pain, fatigue, and constant discomfort, including frequent bathroom trips—just a few of the symptoms that many endure. With GennaMD, Solv Wellness continues its work in UTI prevention.
Limitations of UTI Supplements and Prevention Methods
Non-antibiotic remedies like cranberry juice, cranberry supplements, and D-mannose are often promoted for UTI prevention. However, research suggests their effectiveness is limited. For example, D-mannose does not significantly reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs and is not recommended as a preventive option.
Some whole-berry cranberry supplements may offer modest benefits, but most lack the concentrated levels of the right active compounds—specifically 100% soluble proanthocyanidins (PACs)—needed for meaningful protection. Likewise, cranberry juice is often blended with other fruit juices and contains added sugar. Furthermore, the PACs in juice can oxidize quickly, reducing their potency. Even antibiotics, while effective for active infections, aren’t ideal for daily prevention due to risks like antibiotic resistance.
The Latest Innovation in UTI Defense: GennaMD by Solv Wellness
Solv Wellness focused on developing a supplement with 36 mg of PAC in the US and brought the first evidence-based cranberry supplement for UTI management in 2010, earning the trust of urologists nationwide.
They have unveiled the next generation of UTI defense, GennaMD. GennaMD provides bacteria-fighting power in a small capsule, powered by 36 mg of soluble PAC derived only from 100% cranberry juice extract.
While cranberry supplements may claim to have 36 mg of PAC, if the PAC is not from pure cranberry juice extract, it cannot deliver the same potency. This is why the cranberry supplement category is fraught with many ineffective products.
Studies have found that the PAC in cranberry juice extract (not the whole berry) are uniquely effective in anti-adhesion and the prevention of bacteria like E. coli adhering to the walls of the inside of the bladder. This scientific relevance has shown that when present in the right form and concentration, PAC from cranberry juice extract is one of the best forms not just of minimizing adhesion of current bacteria but of preventing future adhesion, as well.
Due to the advanced extraction process, GennaMD provides the highest PAC concentration in the smallest UTI supplement available. This makes it easier to swallow, and the smaller dose makes it more convenient for those who prefer to mix the contents into a soft food or beverage.
Menopause and UTI Risk: The Connection
Recurrent UTIs often increase during perimenopause and menopause, just as women are navigating other changes to their health and lifestyle. Co-founders Terri and Kevin Wade created Solv Wellness to meet this moment, with science-backed solutions that help women take control of their health with clarity and confidence. GennaMD is part of that mission—delivering targeted daily UTI defense for the stages when women need it most.
As estrogen levels decline, the urinary tract and vaginal microbiome become more vulnerable to infection. These hormonal shifts can weaken the body’s natural defenses, making UTIs more common and more persistent. GennaMD is formulated to support women through this stage and may be paired with physician-recommended options like vaginal estrogen to enhance protection.
