New FLORASSIST® Probiotic Women’s Health Supports Vaginal, Digestive and Immune Health

Life Extension launches oral supplement that promotes healthy vaginal & digestive flora

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Women’s probiotics designed to promote a healthy vaginal pH balance are increasingly popular in today’s supplement marketplace—but most women’s probiotics can lack clinical efficacy when taken orally. To offer women an oral supplement that has indeed been scientifically validated for its benefits to vaginal health, Life Extension has introduced FLORASSIST® Probiotic Women’s Health. This comprehensive supplement for women contains two probiotic strains: a strain that supports healthy vaginal flora and tissue, and another that offers digestive and immune health support.

“When it comes to probiotics promoting women’s vaginal health, many ingredients can fall short in demonstrating they support vaginal flora, pH levels, and vaginal tissue health when taken orally,” said Dr. Cristina Matthewman, a Research Scientist on the Discovery Research Team for Life Extension. “That’s why we endeavored to find probiotic strains clinically studied to support vaginal, immune and digestive health in a convenient and effective oral form. This targeted probiotic formulation provides a comprehensive, overall microbiome support.”

The probiotic strains in FLORASSIST® Probiotic Women’s Health include ROSELL® A, which is shown to support a balanced vaginal microbiome, as well as LAFTI® L10, which helps promote digestive health and comfort as well as a well-rounded immune response. Probiotics play an essential role in women’s health, and the right probiotic strain can help replenish healthy vaginal flora and promote healthy vaginal pH while keeping other bacteria in check. Clinical studies have shown that ROSELL® A and LAFTI® L10 can help support healthy vaginal flora levels and digestive and immune health, respectively.

According to Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD, Life Extension’s Director of Education, probiotics help promote beneficial bacteria, which can crowd out the unwanted bacteria in the body. “We share an intricate relationship with the good bacteria in our bodies, which include the trillions of microorganisms that reside on and inside us,” he explained. “It’s the good bacteria that help maintain several aspects of our well-being. Probiotics support the good bacteria, promoting vaginal health, and they also produce metabolites that support gut health and immune response.”

FLORASSIST® Probiotic Women’s Health daily supplement is the newest addition to Life Extension’s probiotic lineup. Each capsule is gluten-free, vegetarian and non-GMO.
