There are many health benefits of probiotics for women. You may think that probiotics are just for digestion, but there are lots of ways they can support womens’ health specifically.

Health Benefits of Probiotics for Women 5

For a long time, bacteria was thought of as a bad thing, but over the past several years we’ve learned that bacteria is a very important part of the body. Every one of us has what’s called a microbiome, which is the collection of good and bad bacteria that live within us.

Having a healthy microbiome with lots of good bacteria is so important for overall health. Probiotics are basically good bacteria to help keep our insides happy and running smoothly!

5 Health Benefits of Probiotics for Women

1. Supports a Healthy Balance of Yeast

As many women know, having a good balance of vaginal yeast is so important.

That is why taking probiotics can be so beneficial for supporting a healthy balance of yeast, because they can keep the body filled with good bacteria (probiotics).

Certain probiotics strains like Lactobacillus Rhamnosus and L. Fermentum help maintain normal vaginal flora.

2. Promotes Digestive Health

Having healthy digestion is a huge part of feeling your best.

Healthy eating, regular exercise, lowering stress and making sure your gut has a wealth of good bacteria can all contribute to a healthy digestive system.

Probiotics help to bring beneficial bacteria to aid in a happy gut!

3. Supports Healthy Urinary Tract

A healthy microbiome within the body that includes lots of good bacteria is essential for urinary tract health. Furthermore, additional support from D-mannose (the compound found in cranberries) can help maintain a normal urogenital environment. Learn more about preventing UTIs naturally here.

4. Boosts the Immune System

A large amount of immune cells reside within the gastrointestinal system. Keeping a healthy gut is crucial for a good functioning immune system.

Good bacteria in the gut does all kinds of things to support your immune system and keep you feeling your best.

Probiotics are just that…good bacteria, so they can promote a good functioning immune system.

5. Supports Good Energy Levels

Feeling tired when you have things to do is the worst! I know personally how tough it can be to get through your busy day when you’re feeling like snoozing.

Probiotics may help with supporting energy so you can keep your day going without crashing!
