Mechanism of Action

Ths is a combination of two world’s most documented probiotic strains for women’s health, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus Reuteri RC-14. These two probiotics have the ability to interfere with the infectivity of a range of bacteria and yeast in the vagina, as well as confer benefits to the intestine and reduce the risk of bladder infections. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GR-1 - It adheres to cell in bladder, vaginal and intestinal cells. The organism displaces and prevents adhesion by intestinal and urogenital pathogens, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast, can kill HIV and other viruses through its acid production, and stops pathogens from forming clumps or biofilms that are very difficult for drugs to eradicate. The strain induces an anti-inflammatory effect and modulates factors that would otherwise increase a woman’s risk of preterm labour. Lactobacillus Reuteri RC-14 - It adheres to cell in bladder, vaginal and intestinal cells. The organism displaces and prevents adhesion by intestinal and urogenital pathogens, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast, can kill HIV and other viruses through its acid production, and stops pathogens from forming clumps or biofilms that are very difficult for drugs to eradicate. It produces hydrogen peroxide that is important in vaginal health. It also produces signaling factors that disarm toxins produced by Staphylococcus Aureus and possesses immune modulating activity.
