A Targeted Probiotic for Women's Health
Most probiotics are built for the digestive tract. Pro-Flora is different. It is built around two named strains for the female urogenital tract. Integrative Therapeutics says the formula contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1® and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14®, which "support urogenital and vaginal health."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Women who want a targeted probiotic rather than a broad digestive one
- Patients whose plan calls for urogenital and vaginal health support
- Women who want a named-strain product with the strains listed on the label
- Anyone already on a gut protocol who wants this layered on top
What Makes This Form Different
- Two named strains: L. rhamnosus GR-1® and L. reuteri RC-14® in the UREX® blend
- 1 billion CFU (30 mg) per capsule
- Free of gluten, soy, and artificial colors and flavors; refrigeration is optional
What Integrative Therapeutics Says It Supports*
- Urogenital health*
- Vaginal health*
- Two Lactobacillus strains designed to support urogenital and vaginal health*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Pro-Flora is a targeted piece. A broad probiotic such as Ther-Biotic Complete covers the whole digestive tract, and Pro-Flora can be used alongside it. If the gut itself is the focus, GI-Synergy is where I would start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are GR-1® and RC-14®?
They are specific, named strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri. A strain designation identifies the exact organism in the capsule.
Why 1 billion CFU when some probiotics list much higher counts?
CFU count only tells you how many organisms are in the capsule, not which ones. Pro-Flora is built around two named strains at 1 billion CFU per capsule. A higher count of an unnamed strain is a different product, not a stronger version of this one.
How is this different from a general probiotic?
Broad-spectrum probiotics such as Ther-Biotic Complete support the whole digestive tract with many species. Pro-Flora is targeted to women's urogenital health. The two can be used together.
