D-Mannose is a type of carbohydrate that occurs naturally in small quantities in many fruits and vegetables including apples, peaches, green beans, and broccoli. D-Mannose is an important part of human metabolism and urinary health. It has been shown to bind to microorganisms and flushes them from the urinary tract.

Citrate is the salt form of citric acid. In Uqora Flush, we have potassium citrate. When mixed in water, potassium citrate dissolves into potassium and citrate ions. Potassium citrate has an alkalizing effect on the urine, meaning it makes the urine less acidic. Potassium ions are required for proper hydration and replace the potassium lost during urination.

Citric acid is a weak acid commonly found in many fruits. Despite being an acid, it has an alkalizing effect on the urine, meaning it makes the urine less acidic. Citric acid, along with the natural lemon flavor, gives Uqora Flush its sour citrus taste.

The form of Vitamin C found in Uqora Flush is called ascorbate. Ascorbate is the non-acidic salt of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is also an essential nutrient, and is required for many processes in the body, including immune system function. It is an antioxidant, which provides protective benefits in the human body and is excreted in the urine. Vitamin C has been studied for its positive effects on the immune
system.

Vitamin B6 refers to a group of compounds that enable proper protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. The form of Vitamin B in Uqora Flush is called pyridoxine hydrochloride. Pyridoxine is found in many common plant foods like pistachios and cacao. Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient, meaning that people need to obtain it from the diet to live. Vitamin B6 is water-soluble and excreted in the urine. It has a gentle diuretic effect and is sometimes used to reduce water retention.

Magnesium is another essential nutrient lost during urination. It is required for hundreds of functions in the body, including the creation of DNA. The magnesium in Uqora Flush is in the form of magnesium ascorbate (the magnesium salt of Vitamin C) and magnesium carbonate (the salt of magnesium and carbonate, which is used to carbonate water).

Calcium is an ion that acts as an electrolyte. Calcium comes from our diet, and is required for a range of things, including bone production and strengthening, proper nerve function, and muscle function. In Uqora Flush, calcium is included in a salt form with ascorbate, called calcium ascorbate. When in fluid, these salts dissolve into calcium and ascorbate ions. Calcium intake needs to keep up with or exceed calcium loss in the urine in order to maintain proper bone mineralization and hydration.

Beet root - This extract from beet roots gives Uqora Flush its bright pink color and added flavor.

Natural lemon flavor - Made from dehydrating real citrus, our natural lemon flavor gives Uqora Flush its lemonade taste.

Rebaudioside A (from stevia leaf extract) - Stevia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener from the stevia rebaudiana plant, which is native to South America. Rebaudioside A is purified from the leaf and is responsible for the sweet taste. It is purified to remove things like oxalates and other compounds.

Silica - Also known as silicon dioxide, silica is one of the most common compounds on earth and is found in many plants. Commonly used in food products, in Uqora Flush, silica safely maintains the powder’s texture and keeps it from clumping together.

Turmeric Root Extract (95% Curcuminoids) is the “active” compound in turmeric, a flowering plant commonly used as a spice that is a member of the ginger family. Turmeric Root Extract gives Uqora Defend its yellowish color. Biofilm can build-up in the urinary tract and turmeric root extract (along with the polyphenols from green tea) has been shown to cleanse biofilm in preliminary laboratory research. The curcumin in Uqora Defend is extracted from the turmeric root.

We recommend talking with your physician if you’re pregnant, nursing, take blood thinners or have a history of liver or gallbladder issues. If you take blood thinners, curcumin, an ingredient in Defend, may cause additional blood thinning. Stop use and see your physician if you develop symptoms of liver problems, such as fatigue, jaundice, and dark urine.

This extract is mostly (95%) made up of micronutrients in green tea leaves called catechins, like EGCG and EGC. These have been the subject of much research on various health benefits and have antioxidant properties. Along with curcumin, catechins have been shown to cleanse biofilm in preliminary laboratory research. The green tea extract in Uqora Defend is from the leaves of green tea plants.

D-Mannose is a type of carbohydrate that occurs naturally in small quantities in many fruits and vegetables including apples, peaches, green beans, and broccoli. D-Mannose is an important part of human metabolism and urinary health. It has been shown to bind to microorganisms and flushes them from the urinary tract.

42% of all adults in the U.S. are Vitamin D deficient. The vitamin D in Defend is vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, the form of vitamin D made by the skin when exposed to sunlight. New research shows that Vitamin D supplementation increases tight junction proteins in the bladder. Essentially, these proteins connect cells that are next to each other.

Piperine is the “active” compound in black pepper. Oddly enough, Piperine can increase the bioavailability of curcumin by 2,000%! Typically, curcumin has poor bioavailability, meaning our bodies don’t absorb the ingredient well on its own. Uqora Defend includes black pepper powder in a small dose to enable our bodies to better absorb curcumin.

Hypromellose – This is a vegetarian polymer used to make the capsule.

Rice Flour – This is used to keep the space packed tightly to secure the ingredients.

Magnesium Stearate – This is a common ingredient in food and supplements to safely keep powders from clumping.

Silica – Also known as silicon dioxide, silica is one of the most common compounds on earth and is found in many plants. Commonly used in food products, in Uqora Defend, silica safely maintains the powder’s texture and keeps it from clumping together.

L. Acidophilus, L. Rhamnosus and L. Reuteri are specific types of lactobacillus that live naturally in high concentrations in a healthy human vagina. As part of their metabolism, they release acids that keep the vaginal microbiome balanced. When consumed orally, these bacteria have been shown to travel from the gut to the vagina where they can populate. Promote helps maintain this healthy vaginal bacteria, which is a key component of urinary tract health.

Hypromellose – This is a vegan polymer used to make the capsule.

Magnesium Stearate – This is a common ingredient in food and supplements to safely keep powders from clumping.

Microcrystalline cellulose - Microcrystalline cellulose is purified plant polymer. Cellulose composes most of the dry weight of most plants. Used as a bulking agent to keep the capsules tightly packed without extra air.

Silica- Also known as silicon dioxide, silica is one of the most common compounds on earth and is found in many plants. Commonly used in food products, in Uqora Promote, silica safely maintains the powder’s texture and keeps it from clumping together.
