Who is OMNi-BiOTiC® FLORA plus suitable for?

The vaginal flora consists of billions of beneficial lactobacilli, commonly known as lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria help maintain an optimal pH level in the vagina, preventing harmful germs and fungi from multiplying. The development of vaginal flora begins at birth and is supported by the intake of beneficial bacteria through the mouth. The natural pathway for lactobacilli is therefore from the mouth, through the intestine, and eventually to the vaginal area.

However, the balance of the vaginal flora can sometimes become disrupted. This can occur due to factors like medication (such as antibiotics) or hormonal changes (e.g., hormonal contraceptives like the pill, pregnancy, or menopause).

These disruptions can alter the number and diversity of lactobacilli in the vagina, making it easier for germs and fungi to thrive, leading to a microbial imbalance.
