Probiotics for vaginal health have become extremely popular in the past few years. These special types of probiotics are meant to help women heal and prevent common vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, and UTIs.

However, it’s important to note that not all probiotics are the same. Probiotics for women’s vaginal health must be produced in a unique process that includes quarantining the good bacteria, testing it thoroughly at multiple stages to ensure the CFU count is correct, and so much more.

We want you to make the best and most educated decision when you shop for probiotics for your vaginal health. Here is a simple list you can follow when you shop for probiotics to treat bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and/or UTIs. We hope that after reading this list you’ll find the best probiotics to treat these vaginal infections.

1) The CFU Count – CFU stands for Colony Forming Units. That’s the number we use to calculate the quantity of the good bacteria in each serving. When dealing with bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and/or UTIs, that number should be high enough to actually make a difference in your body. The minimum we recommend to have in each probiotic serving is 10 Billion CFU. However, if you are very prone to bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and/or UTIs, you’ll probably want to purchase a higher-potency probiotic supplement, closer to 50 Billion CFU per serving.

2) Prebiotics – this food for the good bacteria strains. Once the good bacteria is in your body, we want to give it the best chances to colonize and thrive to help you prevent bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and UTIs. When we include food for the good bacteria strains inside the probiotic supplement, we increase the chances of the supplement working in our favor! We highly recommend that the probiotic supplement you choose to take includes prebiotics.

3) Stomach pH resistance & weather resistance – did you know that probiotics are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment? Most good bacteria strains require a very stable environment to stay alive and viable. If you look at the fine print of most probiotic bottles, you’ll see that the CFU count is only guaranteed at the time of manufacturing. That means that once the product leaves the production facility, the good bacteria strains may start to die inside the capsules and won’t provide you with any of the benefits you need to fight recurring BV, yeast infections, and UTIs. When you shop for the best probiotics for your vaginal health, look at the fine print. You’ll want to find an amazing probiotic where the CFU count is guaranteed through the product’s expiration date.

Fun fact: here at V-Luxe we only use good bacteria strains that have been tested in highly acidic environments (to make sure they’ll stay alive in your stomach acid), and extreme weather conditions to ensure that our good bacteria strains will stay alive and viable during production, shipment, and consumption! That’s how V-Luxe probiotics can help more women to treat and prevent their BV, yeast infections, and UTIs!

4) Did you know that there are hundreds of good bacteria strains? Some strains may not provide any benefit and will be cheaper to source, other strains have been clinically tested for specific functions and are extremely beneficial for women’s vaginal health! Probiotic supplements can include many good bacteria strains that may look good on paper, but are mostly “fluff” strains that won’t give you benefit. When you purchase a probiotic supplement, try to Google the strains that show up in the ingredients list. Here at V-Luxe we only use good bacteria strains that have been clinically tested to provide women with vaginal health benefits.

5) Cost of the probiotics - probiotics for vaginal health should be taken for 4-6 months so make sure the good bacteria strains have colonized in your body successfully to help you prevent bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and UTIs. The price of each bottle should play a role in your decision making so you can confidently purchase the supply that you need without worrying about the cost.
