Digestive Health*
This product is designed with strains to support the digestive system, nourish healthy gut bacteria, and promote healthy bowel function and regularity.*

DDS‐1 supported GI-related abdominal discomfort, including occasional bloating, and normalized stool consistency in one clinical study.1 BB-12 was shown to support bowel movement frequency,2-4 while Lpla33 may help improve quality of life overall.*5

 

 

 

Immune Health*
Formulated to help support the immune system around the clock to help promote overall well-being.*

The DDS-1 strain has been clinically shown to support stress scores associated with disrupted immune function.1,6 Study results show BB-12 provides similar immune support.*7

 

 

Vaginal and Urogenital Health*
This proprietary probiotic is tailored specifically to key aspects of female health, promoting vaginal and urogenital health and a healthy feminine environment.*

Studies have shown that GR-1 and RC-14 help to restore a balanced vaginal microbiota, maintain a healthy vaginal pH, support the vagina’s natural ecosystem, as well as support the number of beneficial vaginal Lactobacilli.8-13 This in turn leads to a healthy vaginal and urinary tract system.*

 

Brain Health*
UltraFlora Complete Women’s Probiotic promotes and supports a healthy stress response, calm mind, and emotional well-being. The probiotic strains also support the brain, promoting a healthy gut-brain axis.*

One clinical study found that DDS-1 improved stress-associated biological markers compared to baseline levels.6 Lpla33 research also demonstrates mental health benefits, with statistically significant improvement in perceived stress scores compared to placebo in a clinical study.*5

Scientifically Designed for Women’s Unique Nutritional Needs

Significant physiological, neurological, and hormonal differences throughout the lifecycle influence nutritional needs for women compared to men.14 The growth of precision nutrition and emerging research has demonstrated the need for solutions addressing female health through all stages of life.15 Probiotics specifically designed for women can support overall health, with certain strains clinically studied to aid digestive and immune health, maintain vaginal balance, promote urogenital health, and support female mental health.16

Harnessing the Gut-Body Connections

The gut is foundational for overall health, acting as a central hub connecting various aspects of health and forming complex communication systems, or axes, between the gut and other body systems.17,18

The Gut-Brain Axis
The gut has a powerful impact on mood and cognitive function; proper gut health enhances this axis by promoting neurotransmitters like serotonin, which can significantly impact mood and stress responses.19 Maintaining healthy gut microbiota and supporting key neurotransmitters is essential for mental well-being.20

The Gut-Vaginal Axis
Gut health and probiotic use promotes beneficial bacteria that may support vaginal and urogenital health, maintaining a balanced vaginal microbiome and acidic environment to support optimal vaginal health.16 Furthermore, studies show that a balanced gut can help support a healthy vagina as well as urinary tract health.*21

The Gut-Immune Axis
Gut microbiota help support immune responses and support the body’s immune defense. The gut microbiome produces metabolites that help support immune responses and healthy inflammation, which helps to promote an overall healthy immune system.22 Studies have shown that probiotics can help balance the immune response and support beneficial bacteria, promoting overall health and well-being.*23
