How does UltraFlora® Complete For Women help with vaginal health?
The vaginal microbiome is an intricate and dynamic micro-ecosystem that constantly undergoes fluctuations during the female menstrual cycle and a woman’s entire life. A healthy vaginal microbiome is dominated by Lactobacilli bacteria which help to keep a slightly acidic pH by producing lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This slightly acidic environment is a key factor in keeping unfriendly bacteria and yeast at bay.
This delicate ecosystem is highly sensitive to imbalances in the microbiome, leading to infections, discomfort, and disruptions in daily life. UltraFlora® Complete for Women contains two key strains of Lactobacillus, L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14, that have been specifically studied for their positive effects on vaginal health.2
These bacteria support a healthy balance of bacteria in the vagina, thereby creating a favourable pH balance and healthy mucous membranes inside the female reproductive tract and helping to protect against reoccurrence of infections such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.

How does UltraFlora® Complete For Women help with gut health?
A healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, as it impacts digestion, immune health, and even mood. UltraFlora® Complete For Women contains four strains of live bacteria, including B. lactis BB-12® and L. plantarum Lpla33, which help maintain the balance of the gut microbiome.
These beneficial bacteria support digestive function by promoting the growth of healthy gut flora and suppressing ‘bad’ bacteria. Additionally, the product stays active in the gut for 24 hours, providing continuous support with just one daily capsule.
How does UltraFlora® Complete For Women support urinary tract health?
Recurrent urinary tract issues can be a frustrating issue for many women, but maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in the urinary tract can help reduce the frequency of these cropping up. UltraFlora® Complete for Women is formulated with bacterial strains that help support urinary tract health and comfort, by balancing the microbiome and supporting the mucous membranes in the urogenital system.
The combination of live bacteria and key vitamins, like vitamin B2, helps protect the urinary tract lining and offers long-term support for those suffering with recurring issues in that area.
What are some disruptive factors that can impact vaginal health?
Several factors can disrupt vaginal health, including hormonal fluctuations, infections caused by yeast or bacteria, stress, poor diet, and the use of certain medications including antibiotics. Changes in hygiene habits, and even tight clothing can also affect the balance of the vaginal microbiome, leading to discomfort or infections.
As a woman enters perimenopause, the numbers of Lactobacilli present in the vagina naturally decine, causing pH levels to become less acidic, making infections more likely. Thinning of vaginal tissues also makes us more prone to infections like bacterial vaginosis or urinary tract infections.
Maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria is essential for supporting vaginal health and overall well-being.
Is this product for daily use or just when I have an issue?
This formulation is designed for daily use to help protect the integrity of the vaginal microbiome and maintain a healthy urogenital tract by keeping unfriendly bacteria at bay. In addition, UltraFlora® Complete for Women helps to support gut health, immune health and emotional wellbeing.
If you are experiencing increased irritation of the urogenital tract, we recommend increasing the dosage to 2 a day.
What age can I take UltraFlora® Complete for Women from?
UltraFlora® Complete for Women is suitable from age 12 upwards.
Can I take UltraFlora® Complete for Women alongside Canesten?
Yes you can safely take UltraFlora® Complete for Women alongside Canesten and other antifungal medication.
How long does it take to work?
Studies have demonstrated that L.rhamnosus and L.reuteri become established in the vaginal tract from 7 days after oral ingestion.3
What does “24-hour gut support” mean?
When a probiotic offers 24-hour gut support, it means its strains survive the trip through stomach acid and stay active in your intestines for roughly a full day. While they’re on duty, these clinically studied “good bugs” carry out their beneficial tasks – but they don’t take up permanent residence. Most move on after a short stay, so you have to refresh the supply. Daily consistent use keeps the helpful bacteria in your body around the clock, making it easier for you to feel your best every day.
