With 25 billion probiotics from seven strains proven to benefit urogenital health, plus 150mg of cranberry whole food extract per serving, this urinary tract probiotic supplement is a simple, effective way to practice self-care.

Recurrent urogenital infections occur when pathogenic bacteria invade the urinary tract. Since lactobacilli (probiotics) dominate the urogenital flora of healthy women, supporting the urogenital flora with probiotics may protect against infections. Probiotics prevent the colonization of pathogenic bacteria.

Probiotics additionally play a major role in the maintenance of a healthy vaginal tract by preventing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria. Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. paracasei in particular have been shown to inhibit, by exclusion and competition, the adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus, Group B streptococci, and Gardnerella vaginalis to the vaginal tissues. These Lactobacillus strains and others (L. rhamnosus, L. fermentum3) have been identified as anti-infective agents in the vagina. The benefits seem to derive from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lactic acid, and natural antibiotics (bacteriocins) produced by the probiotic bacteria. It should be noted, however that none was able to decrease the attachment of E. coli.
