Cleanse biofilm and support bladder wall integrity
-
Mechanism research on the ingredients in Defend shows their ability to cleanse biofilm. Defend also supports bladder wall integrity. With these two functions, Defend helps to keep your bladder clean in the face of hard-to-pinpoint things like stress, hormonal changes and holding your bladder.
-
Biofilm is a collection of microorganisms bound together that attaches to surfaces, like the bladder wall. Mechanism research on the ingredients in Defend shows their ability to clean biofilm.
-
Each bottle includes a 1-month supply (60 capsules). Take 2 capsules together with water daily.
Defend's science and ingredients
Uqora Defend includes multiple active ingredients, which all play an important role:
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.
Curcumin is the “active” compound in turmeric, a flowering plant commonly used as a spice that is a member of the ginger family. Curcumin gives Uqora Defend its yellowish color. Biofilm can build-up in the urinary tract and curcumin (along with the polyphenols from green tea) has been shown to cleanse biofilm in preliminary laboratory research. Curcumin is also commonly heralded for having anti-inflammatory benefits. The curcumin in Uqora Defend is extracted from the turmeric root. If you are taking blood thinners we recommend talking to your physician if you plan to use Defend as curcumin, an ingredient in Defend, may cause additional blood thinning.
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. Mannose is an important part of human metabolism and urinary health. It has been shown to bind to microorganisms in the urine so that they are unable to attach to the bladder wall.
This extract is mostly (95%) made up of compounds 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. The caffeine is removed during the extraction process.
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.
