A combination of 16 bacterial strains particularly specified for the vaginal zone. The product contains 55 billion living microorganisms per capsule.
The GPS™ natural water-based enteric-coated vegetable capsule protects contents from stomach acids. The capsule only dissolves in the intestinal pH, which allows that the capsule content is delivered with 100% potency.
Indications and uses:
It helps maintain balanced vaginal flora.
Vaginal infections caused by yeast (candidiasis) or bacteria (vaginosis).
Prevention of recurring vaginal infections from both yeast and bacteria (ideal for prolonged use).
A healthy intestinal balance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium is essential for replacing harmful microorganisms and
creating an intestinal environment that suppresses excessive growth of opportunist microorganisms. The vagina shares
many species of Lactobacillus with the intestine; these beneficial strains generate lactic acid which inhibits both infection
by Candida and bacterial vaginosis.
Diverse clinical trials have shown that orally administered Lactobacillus (rhamnosus, gasseri, crispatus, reuteri, plantarum,
acidophilus) populates the vaginal mucosa within one week. The administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and L
reuteri together with antibiotic therapy (metronidazole) improves outcomes in bacterial vaginosis.
Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus johnsonii generate lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which are able to eliminate
pathogens associated with vaginosis. Lactobacillus crispatus is able to inhibit growth of Candida albicans that causes
vaginal candidiasis.
FeminaFlora Oral contains additional Lactobacillus species that reinforce the broad spectrum of benefits of the diverse
formula.
Our formula also contains over 4 billion CFUs of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum; these
probiotic species typically reside in the colon where they strengthen immune system performance.
