About us

Uvora isn’t just about selling collagen — it’s a deeply personal journey.

It all started with a couple of serious physical health-related curveballs involving tendons that made me rethink everything I thought I knew about health, recovery, and aging.

Our Stories

Early in 2021, my husband tore both his quads from his knees in a freak accident. He had to learn to walk again and spent almost a year bound to knee braces.

Just as life started to feel normal again, it was my turn. In late 2022, after smashing my running goals for the year, my Achilles decided it was done. Emergency surgery, months of rehab, crutches, moon boot… my calf disappeared, but at least I still had my sense of humour.

As I began to research how we could support our respective recoveries, I learned just how important collagen is for tendon and ligament healing.

We Thought We Were Healthy

We’ve always been fit and health-focused, super disciplined with our nutrition and sleep. But clearly, aging takes more than just healthy habits. It takes intention. 

Aging is not just about looking good. It’s about staying mobile, pain-free, and physically strong.

Around the same time as my injury, my hair began thinning. And, I’m not saying just a few strands falling out. If you're a woman who's ever brushed your hair and seen full clumps left behind in the brush… you know the feeling.

Initially I thought it was due to the anaesthetic from surgery. But as other signs appeared, I realised my hair thinning was due to perimenopause. Fast forward three years, and my hair is back to its thick, luscious, healthy self thanks to Uvora Beauty Collagen.

That’s how Uvora was born

I didn’t want a generic collagen product promising beauty benefits. I didn’t want any of the collagen brands (and trust me, there are hundreds). I needed something different. Science-backed collagen that supports people like me who want to keep doing the things they love - staying fit and healthy and supporting my body through every stage.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, or navigating menopause, Uvora is here to support you.
