What are the ingredients in Uqora?
You can learn more about all of the ingredients in Uqora products here. In clinical trials with the ingredients used there were no no adverse side effects noted, however; anecdotally, people have said that at high doses, D-Mannose, one of Uqora's active ingredients, can cause stomach discomfort and/ or loose stool. It is recommended to take Uqora Defend with food to help avoid any stomach sensitivity.
Magnesium and Vitamin C, two other active ingredients in Uqora, may cause diarrhea; however, this reaction typically occurs at concentrations far above those present in Uqora's products.
Are there any known drug interactions?
We always recommend checking with your doctor if you have questions about taking Uqora with your specific medications, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, or if you have a history of kidney, liver, or gallbladder issues.
You can take Defend and Promote, even if you are on antibiotics (unless otherwise instructed by your doctor). We recommend getting started right away!
Flush contains potassium and potassium citrate. It can be important to monitor general intake of potassium when taking antibiotics. You can begin Flush once you’re finished with your antibiotic treatment.
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.
Uqora’s products are safe to take alongside birth control and won't impact its effectiveness at all.
Is Uqora safe for adults and children?
Yes, Uqora is safe for people of all ages. Uqora's customers range from children to the elderly, and we have lots of parents who buy for their kids. There are no known side effects for the active ingredients at any of the suggested doses, and all of the ingredients in Uqora are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the US FDA. However, we do always recommend you speak with your child’s doctor if you have particular concerns or if your child has other existing medical conditions.
Is Uqora safe for pregnancy?
In general, it is hard to do good research in pregnant or breastfeeding populations, so the ingredients have not been specifically studied in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is the case for any dietary supplement products or medications. For this reason, we do always recommend you speak with your physician about any specific concerns you may have.
The ingredients used in Uqora’s dietary supplement products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for the general public by the U.S. FDA.
It’s also worth noting that the caffeine is removed from green tea leaves included in Defend as part of the extraction process to ensure there is less than 1 mg of caffeine, a trace amount. A cup of coffee has about 120 mg of caffeine so this is just a trace amount, for comparison.
Is Uqora safe for diabetics?
D-Mannose, one of the ingredients in Uqora, is a type of carbohydrate, but found at lower levels than glucose and fructose in the diet. It does not affect blood sugar in healthy individuals, but if you are diabetic we recommend consulting your doctor before use.
Uqora Flush includes Vitamin C and we recommend speaking with your physician about your personal vitamin C intake as some blood glucose monitors and test strips have reported false high blood glucose readings after high doses of vitamin C intake, which could result in missing a severe low glucose event. Flush includes 480mg per packet.
The ingredients used in Uqora’s dietary supplement products are safe to consume. However, we always recommend checking with your doctor about any specific questions or concerns about any medication you are taking or any specific concerns regarding your medical history. You can also search any medications you are taking on drugs.com to see if your medication has any significant interactions with any other compounds.

If you think you have a UTI, you should see a doctor for a urine culture and likely, an antibiotic prescription. As of now, antibiotics are the only known effective treatment for UTIs. Rising concerns over antibiotic resistance will hopefully lead to innovations in UTI treatment in the future.
Our UTI Emergency Kit can help relieve pain and control the infection while you await your doctor's appointment and is a great product to keep on hand for future emergencies.
