- for disturbances of the vaginal microbiome
- for bacterial vaginosis
- for yeast infections
The lactobacilli constitute the majority of the normal vaginal microflora. Lactobacillus bacteria produce lactic acid and in this way contribute to maintaining the normal pH, preventing dysbiosis and protecting against the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, which cause vaginosis and yeast infections respectively.
Lactobacilli, when taken orally, pass through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine before reaching the vagina. Their transfer to the vagina occurs through skin contact in the perineal area. To ensure sufficient quantities of lactobacilli reach the female vagina, it is important to take high amounts from the beginning.
The strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA14, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CA15, Lactobacillus crispatus LCR6, Lactobacillus gasseri LGS3, Lactobacillus jensenii LJ5, Lactobacillus fermentum CS57 have been proven to support the vaginal microbiome. The intake of L. rhamnosus CA15 leads to significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms even 30 days after the end of treatment. The strain L. fermentum CS57 has been selected for its strong antimicrobial activity. The strains L. crispatus LCR6, L. gasseri LGS3, and L. jensenii LJ5 have been selected due to the dominant presence of these specific lactobacilli species in the vaginal environment of healthy women.
