Introduction
You’ve probably heard about probiotics and prebiotics when it comes to gut health, but did you know they play a huge role in intimate health too? These beneficial bacteria and their nourishing food sources help maintain a balanced vaginal and intimate microbiome, preventing infections, irritation, and odor.
So, do they really matter for intimate health? The short answer: Absolutely. Let’s break down why.
1. Understanding Probiotics & Prebiotics
What Are Probiotics?
Live beneficial bacteria that support a healthy microbiome.
Common strains for intimate health include Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Help maintain an optimal pH level (3.5 - 4.5) to prevent bad bacteria overgrowth.
What Are Prebiotics?
Food for probiotics, allowing good bacteria to thrive.
Found in fiber-rich foods like bananas, garlic, and oats.
Promote the growth of Lactobacilli to keep the vaginal microbiome in balance.
