Supporting women’s health from the inside out
Healthy bacteria are required to support both the digestive tract and the urogenital tract in women. For example, most urinary tract infections (UTIs), often referred to as cystitis, are caused by a species of bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli), which generally live happily alongside the good bacteria in the gut and urogenital tract, but can sometimes grow and cause infection.
The urogenital tract comprises both the urinary tract and the vagina and both contain a microbiome (bacteria) in the same way as the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus is the primary bacteria of the vagina of healthy women and the growth of too many other strains can lead to an imbalance in the natural bacteria of the vagina.
This bacterial balance may be affected by a number of factors, including hormonal changes (particularly menopause), menstruation, childbirth, gut bacteria, sexual activity, contraceptives, and antibiotics.
Multi-strain live bacteria, including three Lactobacillus strains
ProVen Women’s Lactobacillus & Bifidus with Cranberry contains three Lactobacillus strains – two Lactobacillus acidophilus strains and Lactobacillus gasseri, which is a key part of the vaginal flora.
Each one-a-day capsule contains 17.5 billion live bacteria, combining the Lab4 consortium of bacteria with Lactobacillus gasseri.
Each capsule also contains cranberry extract and vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
