Our Story
Seipel Group is a research and development focused nutraceutical company. Our founder, Tracey Seipel, is a renowned Australian naturopath, clinical nutritionist, educator, researcher and award-winning formulator, who pioneered the natural urological health category.
Our story begins in the late 1990s as Tracey became dissatisfied with the limited options for huge numbers of patients of all ages suffering from weak bladder issues ranging from betwetting teenagers to older individuals suffering from leakage post-partum. Tracey took on the challenge of developing a long-term stress-free solution with minimal side effects. Drawing upon her clinical formulation experience and an unwavering 20 year commitment to excellent results, Urox® was the outcome.
The product that began as labour of love in a suburban kitchen is now becoming the global benchmark for natural bladder control and bladder health improvement, and is significantly improving the quality of life for many thousands of people. Tracey is equally committed to bringing poor bladder control out-of-the-closet and destigmatising this common condition.
We are backed by science
Urox® is the only clinically researched herbal formula proven to be effective for the entire range of LUTS (lower urinary tract) symptoms. Urox helps improve bladder health and bladder control. In 2018 our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted on 150 adults at three leading Australian universities was published. Efficacy of Urox® after 2 months of use showed:
- 23% of participants fully continent
- 60% reduction in urinary urgency
- Halving (47%) of nocturia
- 60% average reduction in urinary incontinence
- 75% of users reduced pad usage
- 90% of Urox® users felt the treatment had benefited them
- Results were seen in as little as 2 weeks All responses in the active group showed improvement in Quality of Life
We innovate
The uniqueness of our formula has been validated by the granting of multiple bladder and prostate patent families. Urox® is currently patented or patent-pending in 25 countries with numerous global trademarks.
We support sustainability
We work closely with our raw material suppliers to ensure effective quality control for our product. The herbs for our extracts are wild-crafted or grown without the use of pesticides. Through our suppliers, we support sustainable farming and replanting of native forests. Additionally, Urox® is delivering a flow-on environmental benefit as it reduces adult padded underwear usage (now the 3rd biggest landfill issue globally).
We educate
We are at the leading edge of international research on bladder health. We share information to help destigmatize this widespread health issue. Our CEO, Tracey Seipel, is a dynamic, well-recognized, formulator and educator who provides expertise on natural urinary health for companies, medical/practitioner associations, academia and government in Australia and Asia. We regularly publish white papers, contribute to trade journals and magazines, and share third party research, all of which highlights the bladder weakness issue, and promotes awareness of natural options. Due to our work, the once overlooked area of bladder health, is now a category in health food stores, pharmacies and distribution supplement company lines.
