HMF^® Women's Daily was specifically designed to support the unique needs of women. Each shelf-stable capsule offers 17.6 billion CFU from a combination of seven research-driven probiotic strains to help restore and maintain healthy vaginal flora. The vagina is a complex ecosystem that can by altered by many factors, including age, medication use, sexual activity, hygiene practices and hormone production.¹ Lactobacilli are the dominant vaginal microorganisms in healthy women, where they help maintain the normal vaginal microflora.¹ They compete with other microorganisms for nutrients and adherence to the vaginal epithelium; decrease the vaginal pH by producing organic acids (primarily lactic acid); and produce antimicrobial compounds, including bacteriocins and hydrogen peroxide.¹ In addition to providing two species of Bifidobacteria, HMF^® Women's Daily offers three species of Lactobacilli, selected for their natural presence in the female flora.^2-5 Included in this blend are L. rhamnosus HN001 and L. acidophilus La-14, which provide particular support to maintain healthy vaginal flora.^2-4 This probiotic combination also helps colonize both the large and small intestines to support gastrointestinal health. To further contribute to overall well-being, HMF^® Women's Daily offers cranberry fruit extract, which helps prevent recurrent UTIs in women. This convenient shelf-stable format has guaranteed potency at expiry and may improve patient compliance.
