The study, which is the first to show that a multi-strain vaginal synbiotic can establish a protective vaginal environment, will be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology (IDSOG)The data demonstrate that VS-01™ successfully cultivates a vaginal microbiome dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus, reduces harmful microbes, and combats vaginal dysbiosisThese results underscore the potential of the vaginal microbiome and microbiome-directed innovations to redefine standards of care in women's healthBOSTON, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seed Health will present new clinical data on its flagship vaginal microbiome innovation, VS-01™ Vaginal Synbiotic, at the upcoming 2024 Infectious Diseases Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology (IDSOG) Annual Meeting. Data from a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial demonstrated the superior efficacy of VS-01™ in cultivating a stable and healthy vaginal microbiome. The synbiotic successfully established a protective environment dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus and inhibited harmful microbes associated with vaginal dysbiosis and inflammation. These findings highlight the transformative potential of proactive, preventive care centered on the vaginal microbiome, shifting the focus from traditional symptom management to maintaining a balanced and resilient vaginal ecology.A landmark 2012 study from vaginal microbiome researcher Jacques Ravel, Ph.D., demonstrated that the most stable and optimal vaginal microbiome is characterized by a dominance of the bacterium Lactobacillus crispatus, which plays a protective role in maintaining vaginal health. However, everyday factors such as menstruation, sexual activity, exercise, stress, contraceptives, and cleansers can deplete the abundance of L

LA-based probiotic company Seed is launching a new vaginal suppository that will help women maintain a more stable vaginal microbiome.

An optimal vaginal microbiome is a key driver of gynecological, urogenital, and reproductive healthVS-01™ is a multi-strain probiotic and prebiotic clinically validated to establish an optimal vaginal microbiome and sustain regulated vaginal pHBuilt on the research of renowned vaginal microbiome scientist Dr. Jacques Ravel, VS-01™ is the first to pioneer a microbial genomics approach powered by the most comprehensive host-microbiome vaginal data setLOS ANGELES, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seed Health , a microbiome science company, today launched VS-01™ Vaginal Synbiotic, the first vaginal synbiotic clinically validated to rapidly establish an optimal vaginal microbiome dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus, the vagina's most protective bacteria. Dr. Jacques Ravel's pioneering research has elucidated the crucial role of the vaginal microbiome in gynecological, urogenital, and reproductive health, though everyday factors like stress, sex, menstruation, and diet can disrupt its equilibrium and deplete the abundance of L. crispatus.
