Vaginal Microflora Support:
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 are known for their ability to maintain and support healthy vaginal microflora. Clinical studies have shown that these probiotics significantly alter the vaginal flora by promoting the dominance of beneficial Lactobacillus species and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria. This balance is crucial for preventing recurrent infections such as BV [1].

Prevention of Urogenital Infections:
These probiotic strains are effective in preventing and managing UTIs. They help restore and maintain the urogenital flora, providing a protective effect against recurrent UTIs by inhibiting the adhesion of pathogens and promoting a healthy vaginal environment [2].

Protection Against Candida Infections:
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 have been shown to suppress the growth of Candida albicans, the pathogen responsible for vulvovaginal candidiasis. This highlights the versatility of these probiotics in managing various urogenital infections and maintaining overall urogenital health [3].
