Vitamin D3 supports the normal function of the immune system. The immune system and the microbiome are closely linked because good bacteria interact with immune cells in the gut. Adequate vitamin D levels also help maintain healthy mucosal barriers in the body, including the gut and vaginal lining, which contributes to comfort and natural defence against imbalance.
Biotin helps maintain normal psychological and metabolic function. It supports the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, which contributes to normal energy metabolism. A well functioning metabolic system works alongside the microbiome to support stable digestion and bowel regularity. Biotin also contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, which connects to the gut skin axis.
Zinc supports the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also plays a role in maintaining normal pH and healthy tissue repair. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis, which is important for cell growth, including the cells that line the gut and vaginal tract. It is also known to support normal fertility and reproductive health in women.
Lactobacillus bacteria help produce lactic acid, which supports a healthy pH and balanced microbiome. They play an important role in gut and intimate wellbeing.
Key strains in the formula:
• L. acidophilus NCFM – Supports gut balance and digestion
• L. plantarum LP-115 – Helps maintain the gut lining
• L. rhamnosus GG – Known for surviving stomach acid and reaching the gut
• L. rhamnosus HN001 – Supports healthy pH and women’s intimate balance
• L. paracasei LPC-37 – Helps maintain a calm, balanced microbiom
Bifidobacterium are anaerobic bacteria that colonise the large intestine. They help produce short chain fatty acids, support gut barrier integrity, and contribute to microbiome stability.
Key strains in the formula
• B. lactis HN019 – Supports regularity and gut comfort
• B. breve BB18 – Helps break down fibre and support the gut lining
• B. lactis Bl4 – Supports overall microbiome diversity
• B. bifidum BB-06 – Helps with carbohydrate digestion and balance
• B. longum Bb536 – Linked to calm, comfortable digestion
Fructo Oligosaccharides act as a food source for beneficial bacteria. Probiotics need nourishment to grow, multiply, and stay active. FOS supports this process by helping good bacteria thrive. Probiotics plus prebiotics are known as a synbiotic because they work better together than alone.
