A new drink could prevent urinary tract infections

Cranberry, pineapple, lemon… Natural tips for fighting urinary tract infections are numerous and… more or less effective! To avoid this kind of unpleasant situation, an American start-up has designed a drink that would prevent urinary tract infections. Her name ? Uqora. Its creator had the idea after having had eight urinary tract infections in one year! She teamed up with Spencer Gordon, who studied molecular biology at the University of California, to develop her idea.

Prevention is better than cure

The concept is simple:it is a powder that you mix with water and drink whenever you are at risk of infection (not drunk enough, after sex, etc.). Composed of D-mannose, vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, it would anticipate unpleasant surprises. It also contains a diuretic, allowing the bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections to be eliminated as quickly as possible. In addition to being natural, this product, which can already be ordered on the
website of the start-up, is rather economical:35 dollars (about 33 euros) for 10 doses. Prevention is better than cure!
