Cranberry, pineapple, lemon... Natural remedies for urinary tract infections (UTIs) abound, with varying levels of effectiveness. To help avoid these uncomfortable episodes, U.S. startup Uqora developed a targeted preventive drink. Founder Jenna Ryan created it after enduring eight UTIs in a single year. She partnered with Spencer Gordon, a molecular biology graduate from the University of California, to bring her vision to life.
The simple solution: a powder you mix with water and drink during high-risk times, like dehydration or after intimacy. Formulated with D-mannose, vitamins B6 and C, potassium, and magnesium, it proactively combats infection risks. A built-in diuretic helps flush out UTI-causing bacteria swiftly. Fully natural and available for order on the
startup's website, it's also budget-friendly at $35 (about €33) for 10 doses. Prevention is better than cure!
