Flora and Flow

Urinary and vaginal health are topics we usually avoid talking about, but as is the case in so many situations, knowledge is power, and we’d like to empower you with information about a product that may be helpful for women who deal with UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) or those experiencing vaginal dryness, pH imbalances or reoccurring discomfort.

Flora & Flow contains ingredients beneficial to vaginal health, including clinically proven probiotic strains, as well as lactoferrin and D-mannose – all clinically proven to support vaginal and urinary track health.

Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions that might be helpful:

Why are probiotics beneficial for vaginal health?

Your vagina is a delicate ecosystem. It has a unique microbiome—a dynamic, diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. (Yes, that's normal.) Probiotics are the live bacteria and yeast that you want in your community. They interact with your microbiome to keep everything in a harmonious balance and promote a healthy pH level.

How does pH affect vaginal health?

The pH scale measures how basic or acidic something is. A healthy vagina should be a little bit acidic. That acidity is a protective measure to keep bad bacteria and other germs from taking hold. It also provides an ideal environment for good bacteria to grow.

What role does lactoferrin play in vaginal health?

Many of the microorganisms that you don't want in your vagina need iron to grow. Lactoferrin binds to iron and limits how available it is to the unhelpful flora of your vaginal microbiome. Without a steady food source, it's more difficult for pathogens to thrive.

What role does D-mannose play in urinary tract health?

D-mannose is a natural sugar found in fruits like cranberries. It stops unwanted bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract, making it easier for the body to wash away unhealthy organisms and flush them right down the drain.
