Description
Women’s Health Probiotic provides 10 strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, a multi-species formula, including a clinically studied strain to support a healthy vaginal microbiome.
• Lactobacilli are the most prominent organisms in the vaginal microbiome and are often associated with a healthy genitourinary status. Lactobacilli produce lactic acid and protect the vagina, partly by maintaining a low pH that prohibits the growth of other bacteria.
• Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are the most widely used probiotics to support vaginal health and work in several ways to ward off vaginal infections. They improve local immune function and also produce compounds with direct antimicrobial effects. In a review of 24 clinical trials, probiotic therapy was found to be safe, reduce inflammation, improve the vaginal microbiome, prevent infection, and have both short-and long-term benefits.
• The strains in Women’s Health Probiotic have been selected to optimize vaginal health. For example, in a randomized, double-blinded trial that enrolled women with recurrent candidiasis (yeast infections), Lactobacillus plantarum P17630® (which comprises 20% of the total active cells) was shown to improve vaginal colonization of lactobacilli and reduce symptoms (such as redness, swelling, and discharge) compared to placebo.
• Similarly, multi-species probiotics, including L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, and L. acidophilus, as well as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis have all been shown to have vaginal colonization following supplementation, and display antimicrobial activity against other bacteria responsible for vaginal dysbiosis.
• Low antioxidant status has been associated with a greater risk for vaginal dysbiosis (vaginosis), while antioxidants have a protective effect. Women’s Health Probiotic also provides vitamin C to support immune function and limit the oxidative stress associated with dysbiosis.
