Vaginal Health Supplement – Probiotic for a Balanced Vaginal Flora

Vaginal Health is a dietary supplement with a prebiotic and probiotic formulation designed to improve vaginal health and comfort, now available to buy at Supersmart.

What are the benefits associated with Vaginal Health?

Probiotics are live microorganisms that act primarily at the level of vaginal flora in preventing attacks of vaginitis – inflammation of the vagina. When added to foods and in dietary supplement form, these micro-organisms can have a beneficial effect on the body when ingested in sufficient quantities.

Our dietary supplement Vaginal Health has been specially formulated for maximum efficacy. Its delivery in DRCaps offers maximum absorption and provides 5 billion ‘friendly' microorganisms per capsule. At the recommended adult dose of two capsules a day, you will actually benefit from twice this amount of microorganisms. Vaginal Health can be used as a treatment for two to six months, and in some cases longer, provided the dose is reduced. If in doubt, you are advised to consult a health professional.

Why take Vaginal Health?

Vaginal flora has a sensitive ecosystem which can be affected by various external factors:

• Its normal pH is around 4.2 but can increase with the use of antibiotics, steroids, the contraceptive pill, or spermicides.
• Vaginal flora balance can also be disturbed by infections which slow down the immune system and weaken the body's defenses.
• Changes to the pH of vaginal flora increase the risk of vaginal infections and these can sometimes develop into urinary infections.

Supplementing with probiotics can prove an effective solution in preventing such problems. Indeed, these microorganisms will help maintain or restore a healthy balance in vaginal flora. Alongside these probiotics, there are other measures that can help minimize the risks of such vaginal problems, such as eating probiotic-fortified yogurt, using vaginal lubricants before or just after sex to maintain vaginal pH, as well as avoiding self-medication for a latent infection.

What are the probiotic strains of Vaginal Health?

In some cases of vaginal infection, there can be a disruption to the delicate balance of vaginal flora. In order to restore this balance, scientists have identified the probiotic strains naturally present within vaginal flora which include, in particular, Lactobacillus GG, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus salivarius.

Vaginal Health thus contains some of these scientifically-identified strains, with several benefits for vaginal flora, such as improving vaginal health and comfort and preventing infection:

• Lactobacillus rhamnosus;
• Lactobacillus salivarius;
• Bifidobacterium lactis;
• Lactobacillus acidophilus;
• Lactobacillus casei;
• Fructo-oligosaccharide.

The latter ensures these various micro-organism strains are nourished, healthy, and able to reproduce.
