Women have unique health needs, which is why we’ve developed a new 4-strain, 5-in-1 probiotic powerhouse especially tailored to the female body. Inner Health Women’s 5-in-1 Probiotic provides 24-hour support to the gut, urinary tract, vaginal flora and immune system as well as helping calm the mind. It is designed for women of all ages, in one convenient daily capsule, which releases good gut bacteria from just 30 minutes.
The 5 Key Benefits of Inner Health Women’s 5-in-1 Probiotic
1. Supports Gut Health and Keeps Things Running Smoothly
Whilst gut health issues are not unique to women, they are more prone to developing gastrointestinal symptoms compared to men. For example, medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which presents as bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation and/or diarrhoea, is significantly more prevalent in females, particularly between the ages of 18-39.¹ There also appears to be gender differences in gut microbiome composition.² Women’s 5-in-1 Probiotic contains 4 researched probiotic strains to nourish gut bacteria and support a balanced gut microbiome. It contains the probiotics, Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. Lactis (BB-12) and Lactobacillus Plantarum (Lpla 33 CLEPIUS™), which have been specifically shown to relieve abdominal discomfort, abdominal distention and bloating and improve bowel habits, to keep things running smoothly.
2. Calms The Mind and Supports a Healthy Stress Response
Did you know that your gut microbiome can influence the production and regulation of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that affect how we think and feel?³ And that improving gut health can have a positive effect on emotional wellbeing and the management of stress? This is because the digestive system and brain are connected, in what is known as the gut-brain axis. Nourishing the gut microbiome and supporting gut health with probiotics, such as Lactobacillus plantarum (Lpla 33 CLEPIUS™), has been shown to support a healthy stress response in the body, calm the mind and support general mental wellbeing in females. You can read more about the effects of stress and how probiotics can help in this article.
3. Boosts The Immune System
No one has the time to be knocked down with sickness. Women’s 5-in-1 Probiotic contains BB-12 (Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis), a probiotic strain that effectively targets the immune system and has been shown to increase the body’s resistance to common respiratory infections.⁴
4. Promotes Urinary Tract Health
Urinary tract health is a common concern for women of all ages. In females, the urethra is short and straight, making it easier for problematic germs to travel to the bladder. The risk of infection also increases with changes in hormone levels and after menopause, when the urethra and bladder become drier and thinner.⁵ Just like the gut, the urinary tract has its own microbiome, which naturally helps to keep the urinary tract healthy and protects it from these potentially infectious germs. To support urinary tract health, the probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (GR-1™) and Lactobacillus reuteri (RC-14™) have been included in this female-specific formula.
5. Supports Healthy Vaginal Flora and Hormone Levels
The vagina and urinary tract are linked in what is known as the urogenital tract. Much like the urinary tract, the vagina is home to many different types of bacteria, predominantly lactobacillus strains. These beneficial bacteria play a key role in protecting urogenital health, defending against infection and uncomfortable vaginal symptoms. The probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (GR-1™) and Lactobacillus reuteri (RC-14™), have been shown to nurture healthy vaginal flora and promote healthy vaginal pH levels to inhibit the growth of potentially harmful bacteria and yeasts.⁶'⁷
