How it Works
How Fructo Oligosaccharide, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus work Fructo Oligosaccharide, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a combination of a prebiotic and several probiotics. Fructooligosaccharide, a prebiotic, promotes the growth of lactobacilli. The four Lactobacillus species—Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus—colonize the vaginal tract and help maintain and restore the composition of the normal, healthy vaginal flora. These lactobacilli form a protective barrier that preserves the integrity of the vaginal tract and prevents the attachment of pathogenic bacteria and other harmful substances, thereby protecting the vagina against bacterial infections.
