I’m always following the latest research on women’s health, and would love to share a new and innovative solution with you! Most people know about the gut microbiome, but did you know that there is also a vaginal microbiome?
That’s right – just like there’s a whole ecosystem of bacteria in the gut, there is also an ecosystem of bacteria in the vagina, and it’s crucial to have the correct balance for optimal health. Your vaginal microbiome serves as a natural defense system, protecting it against unwanted disruptions.
This topic is not often brought up at doctor’s appointments, and so many women don’t even realize the importance of bacterial balance below the belt!
What Helps and Hurts the Vaginal Microbiome
While the gut microbiome thrives on having diverse bacteria, the most stable vaginal microbiome is dominated by a single bacteria — called Lactobacillus crispatus. And guess what? Nine out of 10 women lack dominance of L. crispatus!
Menstruation, exercise, swimming, diet, condom use, intercourse, gels and lubricants, stress, certain prescriptions, certain contraceptives, cleansers, feminine hygiene products, and past pregnancy can all throw off the balance in your vaginal microbiome, leaving you more susceptible to imbalances.
An Innovative Solution
Seed’s VS-01™ Vaginal Synbiotic is the first and only vaginal synbiotic clinically validated to optimize your vaginal microbiome with three proprietary Lactobacillus crispatus probiotic strains to restore a healthy vaginal microbiome and sustain regulated pH.
There are so few products like this on the market, and most medical research is done on men, so when there’s a stand-out product with research done on women to back its effectiveness, I’m all in!
Results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that 90 percent of participants taking Seed’s VS-01™ established an optimal vaginal microbiome dominated by L. crispatus, within 21 days of use. In addition, 100% of participants maintained optimal vaginal pH.
Not all L. crispatus strains are created equal! VS-01™ is formulated with three live proprietary strains that were specifically selected for their stability and resilience in the vaginal microbiome.
Even more impressive is that VS-01™ was ten times more effective at increasing beneficial bacteria than a leading oral probiotic that is formulated for vaginal health. Of course, this makes sense because the VS-01™ probiotic is used directly at the site of action! As a pharmacist and supplement formulator, I am so impressed with the research and development that went into this new innovative probiotic!
So, how does it work? VS-01™ comes as a vaginal suppository with an applicator. The two-month Starter Kit comes with six tablets and is designed to rapidly establish an optimal vaginal microbiome in the first month. You’ll then continue with the ongoing Sustain protocol — a simple, two-tablet monthly schedule to maintain a stable vaginal microbiome and regulate pH. VS-01™ maximizes efficacy with minimal impact on your day-to-day.
Unlike most vaginal health products, which undergo minimal safety testing, VS-01™ has been extensively evaluated by third-party laboratories for safety, contaminants, impurities, and allergens, far exceeding FDA testing requirements. VS-01™ is formulated with non-irritating ingredients and tested for contaminants and all 14 classes of allergens. I love when supplement companies take their purity and potency seriously.
VS-01™ marks a new era in vaginal care — a sustainable approach to address the root cause of imbalances and defend against daily disruption.
As a special gift to my readers, Seed is offering you 25% off your 2-Month Starter Kit (and any of their other products). Simply use my code IZABELLA25 at checkout.
I’m so excited that there is finally a research-backed product that can help with vaginal imbalances, and can help any woman maintain a happy and healthy vaginal microbiome!
