The extra boost your body needs.
In recent years, research underscoring the integral relationship between our gut microbiota and our overall health has increased profoundly. If you’ve ever been prescribed oral antibiotics by your doctor, you’ve probably been told at some point to make sure to either consume plenty of yogurt and fermented foods or to take a probiotic supplement in order to avoid developing a yeast infection during the course of the treatment.
Investing a daily probiotic supplement can really benefit anyone, but they’re especially valuable for women. A healthy gut offers a laundry list of different health benefits, including promoting regularity , alleviating frequent bloating and indigestion, strengthening our immune systems, and keeping yeast and bacteria levels in the vaginal flora balanced.
There are a number of different probiotic-based supplements on the market, but unlike looking for a multivitamin or even a decent adaptogenic supplements, shopping for a solid probiotic can be especially confusing. I mean, what the heck is a CFU and what do all of these alleged different strains of impossible-to-pronounce configurations of words and hyphens even mean? Without delving too deep into the clinical research landscape, we’ve highlighted a few cheat-sheet-style tenets to look for.
It’s generally recommended for women to look for a supplement that contains at least 20-50 billion CFUs . The strain is also an important consideration, as certain forms have been shown to benefit different concerns. Generally speaking, for women looking to maintain a balanced vaginal flora, lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1, lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 are the most well-researched for their association with offering defense against vaginal infections.
And, as if these basic considerations weren’t confusing enough, there’s also a wide array of women-specific formulations that contain additional ingredients to further promote overall feminine health.
