Arbutin, the main chemical constituent of uva ursi, is a phenolic glycoside that becomes hydrolyzed to hydroquinone. Both chemicals contribute to the antiseptic effects in the urinary and GI tracts. Other active constituents include tannins, mono and triterpenes, and flavonoids.Caprylic Acid is the common name for the eight-carbon straight chain fatty acid known by the systematic name octanoic acid. It is found naturally in palm and coconut oil, and in breast milk.  Due to its relatively short chain length it has no difficulty in penetrating fatty cell wall membranes, hence its usefulness in supporting gut and microbiome functioning.
