Optibac Intimate Flora For Women is a food supplement in oral capsule form, containing three strains of live cultures that are naturally associated with the vaginal and urinary tracts. Each capsule guarantees 2.5 billion live cultures until the printed expiry date. The formula is backed by over 30 years of research and more than 25 published studies. Unlike many general-purpose probiotic supplements, this formula was developed specifically with the female intimate microbiome in mind. The strain selection prioritises documented research in women over raw CFU count, and the capsules are small and easy to swallow. No pessaries or topical applications are involved — the product is taken orally. It is suitable for women aged 12 years and over, including during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 is one of the most extensively researched friendly bacteria strains in the world in the context of the vaginal microbiome. It has been the subject of clinical research spanning over 30 years and has been studied in thousands of women globally. GR-1 is naturally found in healthy vaginal flora and has been characterised in detail across multiple research programmes. Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 is consistently studied alongside GR-1 as a strain pair, making this combination the most researched in the intimate flora category. RC-14 is also naturally found in the vaginal microbiota and has been clinically evaluated in numerous published studies over several decades. Lactobacillus paracasei F-19 Lactobacillus paracasei F-19 is a well-characterised strain with a documented research record. It is included in this formula to broaden the strain profile beyond the GR-1 / RC-14 combination, adding a third clinically studied strain to the formulation.
