Jarrow Formulas - Women's Fem Dophilus - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Product Information

Lactoferrin may also support your vaginal health through its antibacterial properties and helps support the probiotic strains to form in your vaginal tissues (acting as a prebiotic). In other words, lactoferrin and folate work synergistically to support the probiotic strains included in Clairvee. This probiotic supplement contains two patented lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 which were shown in clinical trials to colonize the human vagina and significantly reduce the persistence of vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections. The two strains of bacteria also reduced bv when used by themselves or in addition to antibiotics. What is the Difference Between Fem-Dophilus and RepHresh Pro-B? Despite how common BV is, it does not always cause symptoms. In fact, 84% of women with BV do not exhibit any symptoms at all. ( 1)

If you are taking this product for diarrhea due to antibiotics, do not use it if you have a high fever or for more than 2 days, unless directed by your doctor. You may have a serious problem that requires medical treatment. Specifically, studies have shown that women taking a combination of L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, and lactoferrin (the same ingredients inside Clairvee) significantly improved symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (such as vaginal discharge and itching), as well as its recurrence rate.

Side Effects

Randomised clinical trial in women with Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: Efficacy of probiotics and lactoferrin as maintenance treatment - PubMed: Common symptoms of a yeast infection include itchiness or burning in or around the vagina, and a white discharge that often looks like cottage cheese. This discharge is typically odorless and might have a yeasty smell (like beer or bread). ( 3)

Some doctors do not recommend treatment of BV, especially if you have no symptoms. This is because the typical antibiotic treatment for BV can cause you to develop a yeast infection, essentially trading one infection for another. Many cases of BV also spontaneously resolve on their own. Clairvee is a unique product with a clinically researched formula whose ingredients work synergistically to balance your vaginal microbiome and help relieve symptoms such as discharge, odor, and itching. Lactoferrin is a protein found in cow's milk, as well as human milk and other bodily fluids such as saliva and tears. Lactoferrin’s primary bodily functions include transporting iron and helping fight infections. If you are considering any BV treatment over the counter or home remedies for BV, talk to your doctor. The Bottom Line: Women with an unhealthy intestinal microflora profile are at a higher risk of developing urogenital infections. Fortunately, scientific findings indicate that supportive microflora that can colonize the vagina play an important role in maintaining health. This suggests that the daily ingestion of certain probiotics may also provide a natural, safe and effective means of balancing microorganisms in the vaginal tracts.* Clinical research supports the proposition that proper use of oral probiotics can do just this.* Oral Probiotics Influence Vaginal Floral BalanceFolate is a water-soluble B vitamin that may help your body make healthy new cells. Although there are very few studies evaluating whether folate impacts the vaginal microbiome, one study did find that it may help support the replication of healthy bacteria. However, more research is needed to evaluate this link. ( 8) Safety Considerations Studies showed that combining Lactobacillus strains and lactoferrin prevented bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vaginal yeast infections. ( 6, 7) Folate L. acidophilus is one of the most commonly researched types of probiotics for vaginal health. In clinical studies, L. acidophilus has been shown to effectively prevent and manage various vaginal infections by stopping the growth and spread of harmful bacteria.
