Probiotics for Women

The current research indicates that it’s generally safe to take probiotics while pregnant. Still, it’s a good idea to check in with your doctor before making any dietary changes or taking new supplements, including probiotics, whether you’re expecting or not.*

For women, the benefits of probiotics go beyond digestive health. Some probiotic strains are even referred to as women’s probiotics because, along with supporting a healthy gut microbiome, they also support a healthy vaginal microbiome. Maintaining proper pH levels in the vagina and promoting urinary tract health are two ways women taking probiotics can benefit overall vaginal health.*

A supplement that combines prebiotics, probiotics and cranberry can support both digestive and urinary health. Prebiotics are foods or supplements that good bacteria in your gut eat, but that your body can’t digest. Essentially, they work with probiotics to maintain balance in your microbiome, which is the basis of overall health. And the addition of cranberry promotes urinary tract health.*
