Lady bugs

Select options

  • Benefits

    The vagina and urinary tract need a healthy balance of friendly bacteria to help them resist colonization by other not-so-friendly bugs [1] [2] [3] that can contribute to issues like bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and UTIs.  The probiotics in Lady Bugs have been widely studied for their potential to support healthy pH levels in the vagina,† decrease the presence of inflammatory signaling molecules [4],† reduce the risk of urinary tract infections [5],† and support healing in skin-type cells found in the vagina [6].†

  • How & When to take

    Take two capsules within 30 minutes of mealtime. Time of day does not matter. Choose a time that works for you, and aim for consistency.

    Our capsule-swallowing trick: Put one or two capsules in your mouth, drink some water, and then tilt your head forward before swallowing. The air in the capsules will help them float to the back of your throat and should make the capsules easier to swallow.

Optimize your vaginal and urinary tract health

Many of us are familiar with the benefits of probiotics for digestive health, but they actually have wider-reaching effects. We applied the power of probiotics to vaginal health with Lady Bugs.

To build our effective formula, we turned to 6 research-backed strains of ​Lactobacillus probiotics. These strains naturally colonize the vagina and urinary tract, and are associated with better digestive health [7],† a healthier immune system [8],† and optimal vaginal health [9]†.

Our chosen strains are also resistant to stomach acid [10],† allowing them to colonize where they should be — the vagina and urinary tract. 

To help our probiotics be as effective as possible, we include 725mg of prebiotics from Jerusalem artichoke inulin. 

Ingredient Spotlight

Ingredients list
  • Organic Jerusalem Artichoke

    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

    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 UALf-32

    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.

  • Organic Tapioca Syrup Solids

    Organic Tapioca Syrup Solids

    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.

Frequently asked questions

  • Choosing your probiotic will depend on what benefits you’re after. We recommend Lady Bugs specifically for women’s health issues. While these bacteria will colonize your digestive tract and may help reduce digestive issues, this product is formulated specifically to support healthy urinary and reproductive tracts, and is particularly useful for individuals trying to avoid UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections.

    We recommend Trust Your Gut for men, women, and children of all ages. We formulated Trust Your Gut with a variety of bacterial strains known to support overall digestive health and immunity. Learn more about Trust Your Gut here.

    These two probiotics are different and are formulated to support different parts of your health. We recommend taking both for a comprehensive probiotic routine. Of course, make sure to check with your doctor before starting any new probiotic. It’s always good to be on the safe side! If you’d like some help deciding which probiotic is best for you, please email us at info@ora.organic, and we’ll help you out.

  • We always recommend checking with your doctor before adding any supplement during pregnancy, but many of our customers who take Lady Bugs are actively trying to conceive or are pregnant.

  • This probiotic was created for women, but we don’t discriminate! The bacterial strains we’ve chosen for Lady Bugs may also provide gastrointestinal benefits for men. We recommend discussing the different strains with your doctor before starting Lady Bugs to make sure you're taking the probiotic that most closely aligns with your health goals.

  • Lady Bugs is specifically formulated to support a healthy vaginal canal in adults. Please speak with your pediatrician before giving Lady Bugs to children.

What to expect

Over time, friendly Lactobacillus bacteria take up residence in the vagina and urinary tract, contributing to a balanced microbiome and healthy pH. 

Probiotics through all stages of life

Research suggests that a balanced mix of healthy bacteria is important throughout pregnancy [11] and that an unbalanced vaginal microbiome may relate to adverse pregnancy outcomes like preterm labor [12]. A healthy microbiome may also help minimize menopause symptoms [13] like vaginal dryness and urge incontinence [14].
