Description
Fémina Flora Oral - Broad-spectrum probiotic to support women's urogenital health This original probiotic formula stands out for its probiotic strains, scientifically proven in women's health. Fémina Flora Oral contains a high concentration of beneficial probiotics for maintaining healthy gut flora, with strains essential to women's urinary and vaginal health. These lactic acid-generating probiotics allow a pH favourable to the prosperity of the probiotics. Oral and topical contraceptives, hormonal fluctuations, and menstrual cycles can disrupt urogenital health. Fémina Flora Oral is ideal to help maintain the balance of the intestinal and vaginal flora, and to fight against dysbioses (microbial imbalance) gastrointestinal and urogenital, acute or chronic. Each capsule of Fémina Flora Oral provides more than 55 billion live cells from 16 beneficial probiotic strains (10 of human origin, 5 of dairy origin and 1 of plant origin). Lactobacillus Fémina Flora Oral contains a diversity of Lactobacillus species offering a wide range of health benefits. The formula includes more than 31 billion colony-forming units (CFU) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus casei . These 2 human strains are predominant in the vaginal flora and generate lactic acid to acidify the vaginal pH and prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and yeasts. FéminaFlora Oral also includes Lactobacillus crispatus capable of inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans, which causes vaginal candidiasis, and Lactobacillus gasseri. These two strains are among the most common in the vaginal flora, in addition to Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus johnsonii . These latter generate lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which are able to eliminate the pathogens associated with vaginosis. Bifidobacterium Fémina Flora Oral also contains more than 4 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum ; these probiotic species generally reside in the colon, where they enhance the performance of the immune system. Prebiotics √ Inulin: A fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) extracted from chicory root ( Cichorium intybus ). It acts as a prebiotic by providing probiotic strains with a food source to reproduce more quickly and in greater quantities. Inulin allows the Bifidobacterium population in the colon to increase, while also reducing toxic metabolites and harmful enzymes. √ Arabinogalactan: A plant-derived arabino-oligosaccharide (AOS), from the American larch ( Larix laricina ). It is an excellent prebiotic that increases the production by probiotic bacteria of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), mainly butyrate. The latter acts as an energy substrate for the colon's epithelial cells and helps protect the intestinal mucosa. Arabinogalactan activates the immune response and selectively stimulates the growth and activity of probiotic bacteria. It is useful for fighting infections due to its ability to reduce bacterial adherence. In addition, it reduces intestinal pH and improves mineral absorption.
