The vaginal flora consists mainly of lactobacilli, which together contribute to maintaining a balanced ecosystem, an appropriate pH, and proper vaginal lubrication. They also play a protective role against the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria.
This balance can be disrupted for various reasons (pregnancy, antibiotic treatment, use of oral contraceptives, etc.), leading to what is known as "bacterial dysbiosis."
When this occurs, the protective role of lactobacilli in the vaginal ecosystem decreases, favoring opportunistic infections. To restore the balance of the vaginal flora, an excellent alternative is the use of selected lactobacilli orally, which can migrate from the intestinal lumen to the vaginal area, helping to relieve discomfort related to dysbiosis, such as discomfort and itching, and reducing the likelihood of the growth of undesirable microorganisms. The combination of these lactobacilli with fructooligosaccharides promotes their growth and survival in the vaginal flora.
