Product Fact Sheet

VLife® V-Flora with Cranberry & D-Mannose

The vagina naturally hosts a diverse microbiome, primarily dominated by lactobacilli species. An imbalance in the vaginal microflora, also known as vaginal dysbiosis can make it vulnerable to harmful bacteria, potentially leading to discomforts and increased risk of urogenital infections. Several lifestyle factors such as hygiene practices, sexual activities, clothing, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of birth control and medication, hormonal fluctuations and stress can all influence the vaginal microbiome. Additionally, the vaginal and urinary tract microbiomes are interconnected, with one affecting the health of the other. Study has shown that vaginal dysbiosis may result in E.coli colonisation and prompt recurrent UTIs. Therefore, maintaining a healthy vaginal microflora is essential to prevent overgrowth of pathogen and reduce the risk of both vaginal and urinary tract infections.

Benefits

Reduce symptoms of vaginal discomfort and infections

Howaru® ProFem features 2 strain-specific probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14 & Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001) which are capable reaching and colonising the vagina. These probiotics promote healthy vaginal microflora by creating unfavourable environments for the growth of harmful pathogens. This helps alleviate common vaginal symptoms and discomforts such as:
Relieve itching, burning and irritation of vaginal area.
Reduce abnormal vaginal discharge.
Eliminate unpleasant vaginal odour.
Manage vaginal infections like BV, VVC and yeast infections.

Prevent recurrence of UTIs

Cranberry is rich in proanthocyanidins (PACs), which are known for their anti-adhesive effects against uropathogenic E.coli while D-Mannose acts as a competitive inhibitor to prevent bacterial adherence to urothelial receptors.

Improve overall vaginal health and strengthen immune system

Hawaru® ProFem helps maintain healthy vaginal flora and normal vaginal pH particularly during menstruation, menopause, periods of stress or after sexual intercourse which can disrupt the balance of vaginal flora. Additionally, vitamin C and antioxidants from cranberries support a healthy immune system and overall well-being while probiotic HN001 helps enhance natural immunity.
