Jarrow Formulas Fem-Dophilus 1 Billion
Jarrow Formulas Fem-Dophilus 1 Billion is a once-a-day women's probiotic built around two well-studied Lactobacillus strains. It is meant to help support vaginal and urinary-tract health, and to help the body keep its own naturally acidic pH where it belongs.* One small capsule a day, and you are done.
What's inside, and why these two strains
Each capsule delivers 1 billion live cells from a proprietary blend of two strains women's-health researchers have looked at closely: Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14. These are the same kinds of friendly bacteria that already live in a healthy body. Topping them up daily is a way to support the bacterial flora a woman's body relies on to feel comfortable day to day.*
- Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1: helps support a balanced vaginal pH and healthy flora.*
- Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14: helps maintain healthy flora and a normal pH.*
Who it's for, and how to set expectations
This is the 1 billion CFU strength, which suits women who want gentle, everyday maintenance rather than a high-dose option. If you have used a stronger women's probiotic before and want more cells per capsule, Jarrow Formulas makes a Fem-Dophilus 5 Billion as well. Honest caveat: probiotics are not instant. Most people take them daily for a few weeks before deciding whether they notice a difference, and results vary from person to person.
Easy to live with
The veggie capsule is designed to stay closed against stomach acid and open further down in the lower intestine, so more of the bacteria arrive intact.* It is also shelf-stable, so it does not need to be refrigerated, which makes it simple to keep on a counter or pack in a bag. The capsule is vegan, non-GMO, and made without dairy, gluten, peanuts, or shellfish, so it fits a lot of diets.
