A Daily Oral Probiotic Provides Women with "Friendly" Bacteria with Added Health Benefits CONCORD, Ontario--(Business Wire)-- Maintaining the proper balance of vaginal bacteria and yeast creates optimum feminine health according to doctors and scientists, and one over-the-counter solution contains specific bacteria that can help Canadian women take control of their feminine health with tested, proven results: RepHresh Pro-B. "RepHresh Pro-B is specially formulated by doctors at the Canadian National Research and Development Center for Probiotics and contains live, tested cultures, unlike many other available products," said Jenny Fiorini for Aurium Pharma. "Taken as a daily oral supplement like a vitamin, Pro-B is the first product of its kind to reduce yeast and bacteria in order to create the conditions that lead to a healthy vaginal balance." Probiotics are "live" microorganisms which confer actual health benefits, reducing the "bad bacteria" that can cause issues. A healthy vaginal flora is necessary for optimum health, and problems can occur when the delicate balance of good bacteria versus bad bacteria is disrupted in the body. "In choosing a probiotic, consumers should look for products that list a specific strain of bacteria on their label or on a Web site," said Laura Johannes for the "Wall Street Journal" in an article entitled "Bug Crazy." "A product that simply uses the first two names may include a similar, but not identical, bacterium that doesn't have the same science behind it." RepHresh Pro-B contains two patented and clinically tested vaginal strains of probiotic Lactobacillus: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14, which have been shown to work together to help restore and maintain healthy vaginal flora. Vaginal flora can easily become imbalanced after a course of antibiotics, which can kill beneficial bacteria along with pathogenic bacteria. Women can take RepHresh Pro-B after antibiotics to help restore and maintain healthy vaginal flora. For women who suffer with Bacterial Vaginosis, Pro-B can be taken in conjunction with antibiotics to help treat Bacterial Vaginosis (B.V.). "Healthy vaginal flora exists when yeast and bacteria are in balance," said Dr. Gregor Reid, internationally renowned scientist at the Lawson Health Research Institute in Canada. "When taken daily, the probiotic strains in RepHresh Pro-B are shown to reduce unwanted yeast and bacteria to maintain vaginal health." RepHresh Pro-B is a powerful yet simple way to keep the vaginal ecosystem balanced. It can be used in conjunction with pH balanced RepHresh Vaginal Gel, which is clinically shown to help fight vaginal odour for up to three full days. "We are seeing a revolution in women`s health," said Dr. Reid. "Vaginal probiotics empower women with a means to support their overall feminine wellness by putting the `good` bacteria back where they belong." RepHresh Pro-B and RepHresh Vaginal Gel are available in the feminine care aisle of pharmacies throughout Canada.
