Uqora is a biotechnology company focused on promoting better urinary tract health. Like all great inventions, Uqora was created out of necessity. In 2014, Jenna Ryan had eight UTIs. If you get UTIs, then you understand how awful the cycle can be. Long waits at the doctor, constant anxiety, and system-crushing antibiotic cycles. Jenna had tried all of the usual recommendations (proper hygiene, ineffective cranberry products, even low-level antibiotics) and was starting to feel stuck. This experience inspired Jenna (whose background is in technology) and her partner, Spencer Gordon (whose background is in biochemistry), to start researching solutions for effective, proactive urinary tract health. Built in collaboration with physicians and urologists and with the best clinical research available, Uqora was launched in 2017. The current suite of products includes three flagship products: Uqora Target, Uqora Control, and Uqora Promote. Each product holds a distinct function to flush the urinary tract, cleanse biofilm, and balance the vaginal microbiome (respectively). All products are manufactured in the USA and are formulated with ingredients found in nature. Since its inception, Uqora has helped more than 75,000 people find a path to better urinary tract health. With over 5,000 five-star reviews, Uqora users frequently say that with Uqora, they’ve ‘gotten their life back’ and find Uqora’s products to be ’life-changing.’ Uqora’s customers are glad to break free from the anxiety that can come with UTIs—plus the pain and inconvenience. Uqora has developed next-generation health products for proactive urinary tract care and continues to expand high-quality research on urinary tract health. Uqora’s product line also includes over-the-counter drugs and diagnostics for UTIs to truly tackle UTIs from end to end. Additionally, the company is developing a novel, non-antibiotic UTI treatment option that they hope to offer as an alternative to antibiotic treatment in the future. Grounded in science and a true understanding of this public health issue, Uqora is an innovative approach to better urinary health.
