ASTARTE™ & LA-5®

ASTARTE™ is a combination of four specific strains of Lactobacillus that have been scientifically selected for their beneficial properties. The four strains are:

  • Lactobacillus crispatus, LBV 88
  • Lactobacillus jensenii, LBV 116
  • Lactobacillus gasseri, LBV 150N
  • Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, LBV 96

These strains originated from healthy pregnant women and demonstrate aerobic and anaerobic growth potential and resistance to bile salts.

The combination is associated with several health benefits:

  • Diminishing bacterial imbalance in the vagina 1, 2
  • Establishing and maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiota dominated by Lactobacillus species 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Reducing both digestive and vaginal complaints 2

LA-5® or Lactobacillus acidophilus is a clinically documented strain that has shown benefit for vaginal health by helping to reduce the risk of yeast overgrowth.

LA-5® has a favorable impact on:

  • Reducing yeast overgrowth in the vagina 5, 6
