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.

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

Uqora is a natural supplements company that focuses on developing supplements for UTI prevention. The brand was co-founded by Jenna Ryan and her partner, Spencer Gordon. Gordon has a background in biochemistry, so the two, alongside a team of urologists, began to research natural ways to prevent UTIs.

Other less favorable reviews from the company's website report that some products leave a bad aftertaste that lingers for 20–30 minutes. Others say that the products are too expensive. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) gives Uqora 1.5 out of 5 stars based on two customer reviews and it gives them an A+ rating.

Effectiveness. While none of the ingredients in Uqora's three-step UTI prevention regimen are confirmed to help with UTIs, the company does back up its use of most ingredients with results from scientific studies.

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

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 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.

Why is Uqora not FDA approved? As a dietary supplement, Uqora products fall into a regulatory gray area. So while the product is not technically approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA does classify the supplement's ingredients as GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe.”

Uqora was acquired by Pharmavite on Jul 8, 2021 .

How to take Uqora. Mix one packet in 8-12 ounces of water. Drink after sex (if applicable) and every 3 days. Take two capsules together orally, daily with water.

Promote is a daily vaginal probiotic (taken orally) designed to help maintain healthy vaginal bacteria, which is key for urinary tract health.
