What is it?

Did you know your vagina is home to billions of bacteria that play a pivotal role in your intimate health?

SMART STRAINS® for your vaginal microbiome is specially formulated with Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14®, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001™ and lactoferrin – scientifically proven to colonise the vagina and reduce candida growth.

Each capsule provides 5 billion live bacteria and 50mg lactoferrin (from milk), replicating the formulation used in human scientific trials. It’s backed by science, for your confidence.

Who is it for?

Suitable for women and girls over the age of 12. Take at the first sign of any changes in your vaginal microbiome. If on antibiotics or antifungal treatment, take daily alongside them for the duration of the course and continue for at least 3 months after treatment has ended.

SMART STRAINS® for your vaginal microbiome is yeast free, gluten free and contains no added sugars, sweeteners, flavours or preservatives. Suitable in pregnancy and the menopause.

Why choose SMART STRAINS®?

Probiotic science has evolved and SMART STRAINS® is leading the live bacteria revolution.

The notion that all live bacteria have similar effects, and that you need to take one daily for general gut health is outdated.

Just as you wouldn't take an iron supplement for a vitamin D deficiency, the latest gut microbiome science tells us how important it is to get specific - we should be taking the right strain, at the right time, in the right way.

Formulated by The Gut Health Doctor®, SMART STRAINS® is a family of targeted live bacteria supplements that use evidence-based live bacterial strains, backed by international health bodies, to help you take control of your vaginal microbiome.

How to take?

During antibiotic or antifungal treatment, take 2 capsules daily.

For ongoing maintenance: take 1 capsule daily. Swallow each capsule whole with a glass of water.

Preferably take 2 hours apart from any antibiotics or antifungals.

What's in it?

Ingredients per capsule - 5 billion live bacteria (5x10[sup]9[/sup]):

Fructooligosaccharide fibre, Lactoferrin (milk) (50mg), Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14®, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001™, anti-caking agent: vegetable magnesium stearate. Vegetable capsule: hypromellose.
