Women's Health Probiotic

• Clinically studied strain for a healthy vaginal microbiome
• Probiotic strains support the healthy growth of normal vaginal flora as well as resistance to dysbiosis and infections.
• Contains 10 specific strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and a minimum of 25 billion CFU per vegetarian capsule (85 billion at the date of manufacture)
• One capsule per day, oral administration

Women's Health Probiotic provides a unique combination of multi-species probiotics that are clinically studied strains to support a healthy vaginal microbiome as well as gastrointestinal health. Comprised of 10 strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, one capsule per day provides a clinically effective dose of 25 billion CFU. These probiotic species support a healthy vaginal ecosystem through multiple mechanisms, including modulation of local immunity and the production of lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins—compounds with effective antimicrobial effects at very low concentrations and unlikely to develop bacterial resistance. Lactobacilli normally represent at least 70% of the vaginal microbiome, and oral probiotic supplementation provides protection against pathogens and infectious organisms, including Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida ssp.

Nearly 90% of the CFUs in Women's Health Probiotic are lactobacilli, including species that populate the vaginal flora after oral supplementation. For example, oral supplementation with L. plantarum P17630 has been shown to promote the vaginal growth of lactic acid-producing bacteria and inhibit Candida spp. proliferation in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Similarly, vaginal growth of L. paracasei, rhamnosus, and acidophilus, as well as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, has been shown to increase after oral supplementation, providing protection against dysbiosis and vaginal infections.
