your digestive and immune systems in balance and working effectively. Acting as a first line of defence to prevent an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria in your gut, probiotics play a critical role in ensuring a robust immune system. Probiotics can boost your absorption and utilisation of food, and improve the transit time of a bowel movement through your body. This is important for hormone health, because the longer that waste material stays in your body, the more likely it is to potentially cause problems. The microbiomes of the gut and the vagina both play a role in maternal wellbeing through pregnancy and early motherhood.⁴ Bacterial species from the genus Lactobacillus (collectively termed ‘lactobacilli’ ) play an important role in supporting the microbial communities living within the vagina.⁶ Loss of these important lactobacilli can compromise vaginal health.⁷ In particular, the strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 has been
studied in mothers for its role in supporting maternal postpartum mood balance.⁵
Go Vita loves … Biome Perinatal ™ Probiotic and Biome Her ™ Probiotic: The Biome Perinatal ™ formula combines five scientifically studied strains, including L. rhamnosus HN001, and is designed to support a healthy pregnancy, help promote maternal health, and support healthy postpartum mood balance. Biome Her ™ contains Lactobacillus acidophilus LA02 and Lactobacillus fermentum LF10, a clinically- trialled combination shown to help maintain vaginal microbiome balance.⁸ As well as Lactobacillus crispatus LCR01, a specific strain from the keystone species L. crispatus , which is consistently associated with vaginal health and microbiome stability.⁹
