Product Notes:
When you hear the word probiotic, gut health is likely the first thing that pops into your mind. Probiotics are "good" live microorganisms (like bacteria) that can be beneficial to health. And while many strains of probiotics do target gut health, as the gut is filled with these live microorganisms, the probiotic strains in UltraFlora Women's formula similarly impact feminine health, as the vagina also plays host to a variety of bacteria that (when out of whack) can disrupt feminine health.
The two probiotic strains in UltraFlora Women’s have been recommended by physicians for vaginal health at a Yale/Harvard Workshop on Probiotic Recommendations. Backed by more than 20 years of scientific research, they've been trusted for use by practitioners for many years and are considered safe and clinically effective.
Targeted Strains for Vaginal Flora
Different probiotic strains have unique effects on health. The strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 have been extensively studied for their effects on vaginal microbiota when taken orally. UltraFlora Women's features these two strains in a 50:50 blend of two billion colony forming units (CFUs) to target vaginal health and maintain the vaginal flora.
What Makes UltraFlora Women's Different?
Efficacy: UltraFlora Women's is specially formulated to support vaginal and urogenital health when taken orally by utilizing two clinically studied probiotic strains backed by more than 20 years of laboratory research and 10 years of clinical evaluation to support safety and efficacy. This formula…
• Targets the vaginal and urinary tract via one oral capsule of two probiotic strains.
• Maintains a balanced vaginal microbiota
• Promotes higher counts of the lactobacilli, the predominant species found in a healthy vaginal tract
In conjunction with antibiotics, Metagenics UltraFlora Women's formula can be particularly useful in helping treat bacterial vaginosis.
As we all know, bacteria plays an important role in our health, but it's often associated with the bad kind that causes infection and illness. However, good bacteria plays a key role in the way our bodies function. And even when we do and take probiotic supplements to replenish such bacteria, it's easy to overlook that men and women require different kinds of probiotic supplementation -- which is why Metagenics UltraFlora Women's Probiotic is so important when you're looking for a formula designed specifically for feminine health.

A clinically effective combination: A study examining the effects of these two strains on vaginal microbiota in 544 women ages 18-58 found that a higher percent of the women taking the oral probiotic of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 for six weeks had healthy vaginal microbiota as compared to the placebo group who persisted for six more weeks after probiotic supplementation halted.
