Home Remedies for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)

Vitamin C

Vitamin C contains a lot of antioxidant properties that are essential for your immune system. It would react with nitrates in your urine to produce nitrogen oxides and eliminate bacteria causing a urinary tract infection. In addition, the mineral would reduce the level of PH, making it unfavorable for bacteria to survive. You can take in vitamin C from many supplements or foods such as kiwifruit, grapefruit, oranges, and red peppers. It is recommended to get around 75 mg of vitamin C per day for women and teenagers. The figure for men adults is around 90 mg per day. [4]
