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 Control 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?

Uqora’s products are safe to take alongside birth control unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.

We do not recommend drinking Flush while on antibiotics. Flush contains potassium and potassium citrate. It can be important to monitor intake of potassium while on antibiotics. You can begin Flush once you’re finished with your antibiotic treatment.

Uqora Control contains curcumin, which has a possible contraindication with the blood thinner warfarin. If you take warfarin or similar blood thinners, we recommend speaking with your physician before taking Uqora Control. We also always recommend checking with your physician about any questions or concerns you may have about your specific medication(s).

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.

The caffeine is removed from green tea leaves included in Control as part of the extraction process to ensure there is less than 1 mg of caffeine. A cup of coffee has about 120 mg of caffeine so this is just a trace amount. That said, the ingredients haven’t been studied specifically in pregnant or breastfeeding women (which is the case for most vitamins and supplements industry wide), so we do recommend asking your doctor if you have concerns.

Is Uqora safe for diabetics?

D-Mannose, one of the ingredients in Uqora, is a type of carbohydrate, but not like those that are common, like glucose or fructose, in that it is not fully metabolized for energy and does not affect blood sugar. Uqora does not contain carbohydrates that would commonly be called "sugars". It is unlikely that the amount of D-Mannose in Uqora products is substantial enough to cause clinically significant changes in blood sugar; however it is recommended to discuss with your doctor for any specific concerns.
