About Us

Our Story

Seipel Group is a Brisbane, Australia-based research and development focused nutraceutical company founded by Dr. Tracey Seipel, 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 with Tracey’s dissatisfaction with the options for patients with bladder weakness. Tracey took on the challenge of bringing poor bladder control ‘out-of-the-closet’ and combined her clinical formulation experience with an unwavering commitment to develop a long-term stress-free solution with minimal side effects. 20 years later Urox® was the outcome.

The product that began as labour of love in a suburban clinic is now becoming the global benchmark for natural bladder control, and is significantly improving the quality of life for many thousands of people.

 

We are backed by science

Urox® is the only clinically researched herbal formula proven to support comprehensive healthy 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 reported normal continence
  • 60% reduction in occasional urinary urgency
  • Meaningful reduction (nearly halving) of nocturia
  • 60% average reduction in occasional urinary incontinence
  • 75% of users reduced occasional pad usage to one or less per day
  • 90% of Urox® users felt satisfied with Urox®
  • Results were seen in as little as 2 weeks with greatest benefits at 8 weeks
  • All Urox® users 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 diaper and 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, Dr. 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.
