As we age, one particularly frustrating and occasionally embarrassing consequence of getting older, hormonal shifts (such as the menopause), childbirth and other factors is bladder weakness, leading to more frequent trips to the toilet and potential leaks — particularly when out and about, exercising or during the night. However, one brand is being praised by customers for its 'life-changing' supplement that helps users 'get their life back' both during the day and overnight.
It reportedly enhances 'bladder flexibility to help you hold for longer between bathroom visits', calms 'brain-bladder signals', and soothes the bladder lining — which supposedly helps keep users 'feeling settled throughout the day'. The brand in question is Jude — reportedly the UK's #1 Bladder Health Supplement — designed with women over 40 in mind and 'expertly formulated' with a variety of natural ingredients to provide lasting bladder support.
Product Details and Pricing
Promising a 'life less interrupted', Jude's CoreCTRL Bladder Health Supplements contain 60 capsules per pack (two per day) and are available either as a one-off purchase for £39.50, or via a subscription model. Opting for the Four Week plan (delivery every four weeks) will set you back £39.50, while the 'best value' 12 Week plan costs £75.
Jude - which featured on Dragon's Den - is currently offering our readers a 20% discount code, meaning that for a single purchase it'd be £31.60; the Four Week Plan is £27.60, while the 12 Week Plan is £60 (which equates to 67p per day). All customers need to do is enter the code PRESS20 at the checkout, reports the Express. This is valid until July 28.
Ingredients and Science
Powered by nature and supported by science, and formulated with leading dietitians, scientists, and clinicians, the capsules contain pumpkin seed extract (sometimes referred to as 'Green Gold') with 71 seeds in each daily dose, which helps strengthen muscles from within. In addition, soy phytoestrogen helps nourish the pelvic floor muscles and promotes bladder muscle tone and tissue function. Meanwhile, rosemary and sage extracts support the bladder wall's natural elasticity and help maintain the natural flexibility and resilience of connective tissues, supporting comfortable function throughout the day.
Its combination of zinc, vitamins B6, B3, and D, and probiotics contributes to muscle function, tissue building and renewal, nervous system support, and energy, too. Jude claims that most users will notice a difference within 3 to 8 weeks, with 82% of users experiencing the maximum benefits after 12 weeks.
Alternatives and Comparisons
Alternatively, Healthspan Bladder Support Supplements (£23.99 at Boots) have a composition comparable to Jude's formula and contain 300mg Go-Less® with pumpkin seed extracts, soy germ, and vitamins B6, D3, and zinc. Similarly, Flowee Revolutionary Bladder Supplement at Holland & Barrett (£29.99, down from £39.99) is formulated with 600 mg of Pumpkin Seed Extract alongside Soy Isoflavones and Cranberry Extract, and claims to reduce 'frequent urges' and support 'stronger bladder control'.
Customer Reviews and Experiences
Those using Jude's CoreCTRL capsules have been overwhelmingly positive about incorporating them into their daily routine, with one customer sharing just how transformative the experience has been on their 'life' - "I've got my life back, running as it should be. No fear of accidents or planning journeys around 'where is the nearest toilet?"
One user revealed that the product had proved to be a game-changer for nighttime bathroom trips. They said: "I'm only 2 weeks into using the night bladder supplements, but I've already noticed a difference with not waking up several times a night to pee. Last night I slept through without waking at all! Cannot believe it."
A further reviewer commented: "I have been using the supplements for approx a year now. Primarily, it was because I was getting up 4 to 5 times per night. I'm happy to say that I can now get through the night and just need one trip around 6ish in the morning. This has made a huge difference to my sleep." Though they did add: "It hasn't helped me during the day, but I suspect I also need to train my bladder urges to help myself along!"
A third customer noted: "This is quite astonishing so far. Two weeks in, I was sleeping through without waking, no need to get up in the night once or twice, which was an every-night thing. So the impact on sleep is amazing. A couple more weeks and daytime urgency has reduced a lot! Sometimes I was still having triggers, e.g. latchkey, but after another couple of weeks, even that has gone."
Not everyone was wholly convinced, however, as one shopper left a three-star review noting that their experience had been inconsistent. They said: "Not as good as I had expected, on some occasions they seem to help, not always." Another shared a similar sentiment, writing: "Well, nothing's perfect, but these start off great then wane off a bit, so unsure if it's me or not! I won't give up just yet, though, because they work more than not."
That said, the overwhelming majority of customers have been delighted with the difference these capsules have made to their daily lives. One remarked: "I can't believe I don't have to check out where the toilets are all the time. I really do feel like I've got my life back! Thank you, Jude." While another added: "Really sceptical as menopause coupled with a persistent cough had left me soggy even after LOTS of pelvic floor exercises. I had spent money on various toners, and although the kegels had worked for me in the past, the cough just seems to have undone all that good work. Anyway, the pills are FABULOUS. Two weeks in and I'm noticing that I've been much, much drier, and today I'm experimenting pad-free."
A survey carried out by the brand found that after 12 weeks, 90% of participants felt more secure while active, with 89% feeling more confident throughout the day. As a supplement designed to support the body, it is worth noting that for any medical concerns, consulting a healthcare professional is always advisable.
