Most companies don't like to talk about the probiotic strains inside their formulas, but we're not most companies. Here at V-Luxe, we love science and we love telling our customers exactly how our proprietary probiotic formula will help you create and maintain a healthy and balanced vaginal environment! 

All of the probiotic strains we use are exclusively sourced from Danisco, a world leader in probiotics R&D. All strains that we use are formulated to survive stomach acid and extreme weather which means they'll safely travel and colonize in your GI tract and vagina. Most importantly, all of our strains have been used in the food and supplement industries for years and have been proven to be extremely safe for consumption.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus::

Clinical Studies Show:

• This strain has been shown to produce lactic acid. Lactic acid plays an important role in preventing bacterial vaginosis. Lactic acid keeps your vaginal pH level balanced and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.

• More than that, L. Acidophilus has the ability to fight off bad bacteria and prevent infections from reoccurring.

• BONUS: L. Acidophilus may help boost your immune system and assist with lactose intolerance.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus:

Clinical Studies Show:

• This strain helps fight Candida - a harmful bacteria that is linked to causing yeast infections.

• L. Rhamnosus also fights the formation of bad biofilm - this is a type of film that bad bacteria creates to protect itself from antibiotic treatments. Biofilm is one of the main reasons of why bacterial vaginosis keeps coming back.

• BONUS: L. Rhamnosus also strengthens your immune system dramatically and decreases the frequency of ear infections, inflammations, and even cavities!

Lactobacillus Plantarum:

Clinical Studies Show:

• This strain's optimal growing temperature is very close to our body temperature!

• The main reason we added this strain to our formula is because of its amazing results in fighting off bad bacteria. This strain enhances your natural immune response to harmful bacteria by stimulating & increasing antibody production. How is this related to BV? When BV is just starting off, a great immune system will be able to fight it off on its own without the need of antibiotic intervention. That's the reason why many women have BV with no symptoms - their body is able to remove the infection before symptoms even occur!

• BONUS: L. Plantarum has a major role in assisting with IBS symptoms and decreases the frequency of common colds and the flu.

Lactobacillus Salivarius:

Clinical Studies Show:

• This strain is naturally found in the vagina and other parts of the body.

• This strain grows and develops friendly bacterial colonies extremely fast, preventing bad bacteria from overgrowing!

• This strain provides two main benefits that will help you fight recurring bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections -

1. It produces its own antibiotics, yes ITS OWN so that you can be protected from harmful bacteria from day one.
2.  It produces lactic acid - the acid that keeps your vaginal pH level balanced and prevents harmful bacteria and yeast from regrowing.

• BONUS: L. Salivarius inhibits the growth of both E. Coli & Salmonella and provides protection against UTIs.

Lactobacillus Bulgaricus:

Clinical Studies Show:

• L. Bulgaricus is very special because it can produce lactic acid from four different sugars: lactose, glucose, fructose, and mannose! This is extremely beneficial because it prevents bad bacteria from using the same sugar to create their biofilm - the film that protects their colonies from antibiotic treatments.

• BONUS: L. Bulgaricus decreases leaky gut symptoms & bad cholesterol levels.

Lactobacillus Casei:

Clinical Studies Show:

• L. Casei helps produce vitamins B1 and B2 & improve overall immunity response.
• L. Casei also assists with inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria in the vagina and prevent bacterial vaginosis & yeast infections.

• BONUS: L. Casei decreases lactose intolerance & high blood pressure!

Lactobacillus Lactis:

Clinical Studies Show:

• L. Lactis survives the harsh pH conditions of the gut and has important antibiotic components that can restrict the growth of harmful bacterias and pathogens.
• L. Lactis may also inhibit the growth of candida, fungi in genera Aspergillus and Fusarium (different types of mold and yeast that can cause infections in our body).
  

• BONUS: Scientists believe that L. Lactis can reduce inflammation and could help with the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Bifidobacterium Lactis:

Clinical Studies Show:

• This is one of the most beneficial probiotic strains for reducing the risk of infections as well as increasing overall immunity. 

• Another benefit of this strain is that it helps balance the gut and vaginal flora after an antibiotic treatment. As you may already know, antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria, so it's important to use this strain to balance your system again!

• BONUS: B. Lactis helps with diabetes management by increasing your blood glucose control.

Bifidobacterium Bifidum:

Clinical Studies Show:

• We chose this strain specifically for UTI and yeast infection management. This strain helps fight yeast, candida and E. Coli overgrowth. E. Coli is the main bacteria that is linked to causing UTIs. 

• In addition to that, B. Bifidum helps decrease inflammation and produces an antibiotic that helps kill bad bacteria.

Bifidobacterium Longum:

Clinical Studies Show:

• This strain mostly lives in the colon, but it has a big impact on your entire body!

• B. Longum has been found to reduce the production of certain chemicals and therefore decreases inflammation and increases the immune response and productivity. 

• BONUS: This strain may also be related to relieving anxiety. Studies suggest that B. Longum activates your enteric nerves which then send relaxation signals to your brain.

Bifidobacterium Breve:

Clinical Studies Show:

• B. Breve is associated with improved skin health and promoting clear skin, in addition to helping eliminate toxins from our body.

• B. Breve has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that help our immune system.

• BONUS: This strain may also be related to providing better digestion and reduce the risk of diarrhea.
