Incontinence, the inability to control excretory
functions, is a common problem. In fact, the National Institutes of Health
estimates that 13 million adults suffer from urinary incontinence. It is not
just a symptom of age or infirmity. The muscles in the bladder and urethra may
become weak due to childbirth resulting in accidental wetting when one coughs or
laughs. Loss of hormones during menopause could also help to weaken the urinary
system. Other causes include damage to bladder nerves, urinary tract, or a
blockage in the urethra, a rarity in women. Two capsules daily: one after breakfast and one
after dinner. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

What is it?
The condition, also referred to as overactive bladder, is characterized by a
sudden urge to urinate because of muscle contractions around the bladder, which
may lead to involuntary leakage. Usually urinary frequency is more than normal,
perhaps as much as eight to ten times in a 24-hour period. This may interrupt
sleep patterns, as you wake up several times a night to pass urine.
Because of the personal nature of this condition, many people are reluctant to
discuss it with their doctors. Specific exercises to strengthen the muscles
around the bladder and urethra can help control leakage. Biofeedback is also
used to help control the muscles. Along with building up the muscles, there are
natural herbs that have been shown to help maintain healthy urinary bladder
function.
Life Extension offers a natural herbal product that is designed to support
healthy urinary tract function. The 20 standardized herbs contained in
BetterWOMAN® have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to address the
multiple mechanisms necessary for proper bladder function and control. This
formula is a holistic approach to help create the optimal function of the
urinary tract and muscles.*
These Chinese herbs are standardized to provide a consistent formula.
BetterWOMAN® helps promote the health and function of the urinary bladder.*Suggested Use
