Intimate health is an important part of women’s overall health. The balance of the vaginal microbiome plays a key role in maintaining a healthy vaginal environment.

Lactobacillus is one of the major groups of microorganisms commonly found in the vagina. These bacteria can produce lactic acid, helping maintain an acidic environment—one factor associated with a balanced vaginal microbiome.

However, various factors, such as hormonal changes, the menstrual cycle, stress, antibiotic use, sexual activity, and environmental changes, may affect the balance of the vaginal microbiome.

PRONULIFE® VagProtect is a probiotic ingredient developed for products focused on Women’s Health and the Vaginal Microbiome.

VagProtect contains four probiotic strains:

• Lactobacillus rhamnosus CT-53
• Lactobacillus reuteri TE-33
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus F-1
• Lactobacillus salivarius AP-32

Key Benefits & Scientific Evidence

 

 

1. Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Synergistic Effects

Studies have found that all four probiotic strains demonstrate good tolerance to gastric acidity and bile in the gastrointestinal tract. When used together, they exert a synergistic effect, resulting in more than a twofold increase in intestinal adhesion compared with the use of a single strain. This may help the microorganisms colonize and function effectively.

 

 

2. Supports an Acidic Environment to Help Inhibit Pathogens

An important mechanism of the Lactobacillus strains in VagProtect is their ability to produce lactic acid efficiently. Laboratory studies using MRS culture medium found that the strains significantly lowered pH and created a mildly acidic environment, which may help control and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms in the female reproductive tract.

 

 

3. Supported by a Human Clinical Study

VagProtect was evaluated in a human study involving 32 female volunteers (20 with vaginitis and 12 healthy participants). After taking PRONULIFE® VagProtect continuously for four weeks, the study reported the following positive outcomes:

• Helped reduce unpleasant intimate odor
• Helped relieve itching and irritation
• Helped reduce vaginal burning sensations

 

4. Supported by Multiple Published Studies and Patents
