Jenna Ryan discusses her experience of having eight UTIs in a year and how it inspired her to start Uqora with Spencer Gordon.

Ryan knew that to solve the problem she would have to take matters into her own hands. With her then-partner, and now husband, Spencer Gordon, the two of them founded Uqora, a direct-to-consumer brand that produces proactive urinary tract health products and UTI relief products using science-backed ingredients.

"I've been there" Uqora was created by a chronic UTI sufferer (Jenna Ryan) and her biochemist husband (Spencer Gordon) who were both fed up with the tiring cycle of UTIs. Desperate to get ahead of the problem, Jenna was told repeatedly that there was little she could do.

“I was desperate to get ahead of the problem and was inspired to start looking for ways to begin my own proactive approach to urinary tract health.” That inspiration would lead Ryan and her husband, Spencer Gordon, to create Uqora.

Uqora is located in San Diego, California, United States .

Uqora UTI Infection Control includes two active ingredients - sodium salicylate and methenamine, a powerful duo. Methenamine is an antibacterial medicine that slows the growth of bacteria along the urinary tract, helping you to control the UTI.

I was astounded to know how many other people were struggling with the same issue because you just don't hear about UTIs very much. This experience inspired me and my now-husband, Spencer, to start Uqora.
