Uqora Ingredients

Flush's ingredients work quickly to gently flush the urinary tract. Special ingredients alkalize the urine, making it less acidic, unlocking the power of d-mannose. At the same time, Flush delivers immune support.
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. Its involvement with many interactions in the body, make it foundational to whole body health.
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.
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. *Pink Lemonade Only
Defend cleanses biofilm and supports bladder wall integrity. Biofilm is a collection of microorganisms bound together that attach to surfaces, like the bladder wall. Mechanism research on the ingredients in Defend shows their ability to cleanse biofilm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We recommend Defend because you said urinary tract health affects you 3+ times a year. Defend cleanses biofilm, which helps to keep the urinary tract clear on a day-to-day basis. It also supports bladder wall integrity.
Defend, because you said urinary tract health affects you 3+ times a year. Defend supports bladder wall integrity and continually cleanses biofilm, which is key for day-to-day urinary tract health. Take two capsules a day.
