    Organic Jerusalem Artichoke

    Helianthus tuberosus

    Neither an artichoke nor from Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Artichoke is actually sunflower root. This root is a natural prebiotic, high in fiber–stimulating and feeding the Bifidobacteria (the good guys!) in the gut.[1]

    Lactobacillus crispatus UALcr-35

    Probiotic Strain

    Lactobacillus crispatus is one of the most commonly found bacteria in the vaginal canal. L. crispatus may be most helpful for its potential impact on the vaginal epithelial cells, which are skin-like surface cells. Studies have found that higher levels of L. crispatus may be associated with less stress in the vaginal epithelial cells and better healing of damaged epithelial cells. One study found that L. crispatus may help reduce the ability for candida to adhere to epithelial cells, potentially through an increase in regulatory T-helper molecules and the Th1 cytokine response, both beneficial inflammatory responses by the immune system to foreign invaders.

  • lactobacillus-fermentum
    Lactobacillus fermentum UALf-32
    lactobacillus-fermentum

    Lactobacillus fermentum UALf-32

    Probiotic Strain

    Lactobacillus fermentum is a bacterial strain normally found in the vaginal canal. The benefits of L. fermentum for vaginal health are likely through its impact on the epithelial cells, which are skin-like, surface cells in the vagina. L. fermentum may impact the adhesion of harmful microbes to the vaginal wall.

    Manihot esculenta

    Tapioca is a starch extracted from the Cassava root, native to South America. Being naturally high in dietary fiber, it functions as a great prebiotic, which is what fuels the good bacteria in your gut.

    Vegan Capsule (Pullulan)

    Aureobasidium pullulans

    Our vegan capsules are made from pullulan, which is a plant-based polysaccharide derived from the Aureobasidium pullulans fungi. Pullulan is biodegradable and made without any other additives or fillers. Compared to animal-based capsules, pullulan resists oxygen very effectively, which means the the powder inside is kept fresher for longer - so you can enjoy all the benefits inside the capsule!
