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 to the lower intestine.
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.
Fem-Dophilus does not require refrigeration and can be stored at room temperature. Refrigeration will. however. extend the shelf life. Avoid temperatures above 77F (25C).
