Jarrow Formulas, Fem-Dophilus 60 Capsules
Over 30 years of clinical research supports the effectiveness of the 2 patented probiotic bacterial strains in Fem-Dophilus®.* These beneficial strains populate the vaginal tract with healthy bacteria to balance the vaginal microbiome and help maintain a healthy vaginal and urinary tract.* These two strains are the most clinically published strains for vaginal health worldwide**, and were carefully selected due to their effectiveness in these studies.
Fem-Dophilus® contains two patented and clinically documented probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1® and Lactobacillus reuteri, RC-14®, discovered and developed by Dr. Gregor Reid and Dr. Andrew Bruce at Urex Biotech. Over 25 years of research supports the oral use of GR-1® and RC-14® to colonize and promote healthy vaginal and urinary tract health.* A special manufacturing process protects the probiotic strains in Fem-Dophilus® from stomach acid and enhances probiotic bacterial survival in the lower intestine.*
GR-1®/RC-14® and VAGINAL FLORA (also called microbiota) In one of the randomized clinical trials, 75% of women in the GR-1®/RC-14® probiotic group experienced significant improvement in vaginal flora composition, while only 34% of women in the placebo (non-probiotic) group experienced similar improvement.

Whereas in the control group (taking 10 billion CFU of common strain, L. rhamnosus GG) there was no improvement in the percentage of women with healthy vaginal flora.¹
