BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND,
September 6, 2005 - BioLogic
Health Solutions Pty Ltd.,
an Australia-based company
whose mission is to
research, develop and
promote a range of
well-researched natural
products that improve the
quality of people's lives,
today announced the results
of recent laboratory testing
which revealed that the
company's branded urinary
incontinence ingredient,
UroLogic (TM), has broad
antioxidant properties.
UroLogic underwent Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity
(ORAC), Hydroxyl Radical
Scavenging Ability (HORAC)
and Peroxynitrite Radical
Scavenging Ability (NORAC)
testing which indicated high
antioxidant activity, and
further in-vitro studies
demonstrated it had a
substantial inhibitory
effect on the Reactive
Oxygen Species (ROS)
formation in human
neutrophil cells.
"These study results
confirm that UroLogic offers
additional health benefits,
above and beyond its ability
to help with both stress and
urge incontinence associated
with aging and childbirth,"
stated Debra Seipel,
managing director, BioLogic
Health Solutions. "Numerous
studies have shown that
antioxidants are essential
in guarding against
all-types of diseases, and
consuming UroLogic can
provide this secondary
benefit to its users."
UroLogic reported a very
high ORAC value. The ORAC
assay determines free
radical scavenging activity
against the peroxyl radical
for both water-soluble and
lipid-soluble substances.
UroLogic's high HORAC and
NORAC value demonstrates its
free radical scavenging
ability against
peroxynitrite and hydroxyl
radicals, which are found in
high levels in individuals
suffering from neuro-degenerative
diseases. This is
especially noteworthy given
the fact that many
pharmaceutical drugs
currently used to treat
urinary incontinence have
side effects of memory loss.
The proprietary natural
formula in UroLogic contains
the Western herb Horsetail,
traditionally used to
address the symptoms of
urinary incontinence, and
the Ayurvedic herb Crateva,
that assists bladder tone,
combined with added minerals
to support nerve
transmission. This unique
ingredient has demonstrated
positive results in human
clinical research and
testing and has been shown
to be effective in
addressing both stress and
urge incontinence associated
with aging and childbirth.
BioLogic Health
Solutions, founded in 1999,
is an Australia-based
company who launched several
proprietary branded
ingredients in the U.S. in
early 2005. All products at
BioLogic Health Solutions
are developed based on
holistic, natural therapy
principles with the added
security of scientific
research. The company
conducts ongoing research
with institutions around the
world, including the
Australian College of
Natural Medicine (ACNM) and
the Brisbane-based Applied
Science and Nutrition
Research, to ensure the
highest levels of efficacy
for addressing very specific
health concerns. Studies on
BioLogic products are
currently underway in the
U.S., Australia and
Scotland.
