Diuretic II
Thompson
Overview
The effectiveness of Diuretic II is moderate, leaning towards limited, primarily due to the low dosages of the key active herbal ingredients. While the individual herbs (Uva Ursi, Parsley, Buchu, Juniper Berry) have traditional uses as diuretics and for urinary tract support, the amounts provided per serving are often below what is typically studied or considered effective in scientific literature for a pronounced diuretic effect. The inclusion of potassium is beneficial for electrolyte balance, but its diuretic impact is negligible at this dose.
The Good
Contains a blend of traditional herbal diuretics.
Includes potassium to support electrolyte balance.
Specific contraindications and warnings are provided on the label.
The Bad
Key herbal ingredients (Uva Ursi, Buchu, Juniper Berry) are significantly underdosed for optimal efficacy.
Efficacy for a pronounced diuretic effect is likely limited due to low potencies.
Not recommended for extended use, limiting its utility for chronic issues.
Is it for you?
