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 Target, 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. 

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. It is commonly recommended to reduce the buildup of kidney stones in those who are prone by inhibiting the calcification of stones. Citric acid, along with the natural lemon flavor, gives Uqora Target its sour citrus taste. 

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, but it is not metabolized like other sugars that impact blood sugar. Mannose is an important part of human metabolism and urinary health. It has been shown to bind to bacteria in the urine. When bound to D-mannose, bacteria like E. coli are unable to attach to the bladder wall and compromise urinary health. In Uqora Target, D-Mannose is in a purified form.

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 Target 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).

Citrate is the salt form of citric acid. In Uqora Target, 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, and, like citric acid, is commonly used to help reduce the buildup of kidney stones. Potassium ions are required for proper hydration and replace the potassium lost during urination.

Vitamin B6 refers to a group of compounds that enable proper protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. The form of Vitamin B6 in Uqora Target 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.

The form of Vitamin C found in Uqora Target 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.

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

Natural lemon flavor: Made from dehydrating real citrus, our natural lemon flavor gives Uqora Target 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: Silica is one of the most common compounds on earth and is found in many plants. Commonly used in food products, in Uqora Target, silica safely maintains the powder’s texture and keeps it from clumping together.
