GYNO-CONTROL Vaginal Flora

Vaginal flora balance, preserves the natural pH

Gyno-Control Vaginal Flora is a specific strain of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, which accounts for 95 percent of vaginal flora, promoting balance, restoration of the flora and the maintenance of natural vaginal pH1. The lactobacilli found in Gyno-Control Vaginal Flora is specifically formulated to tolerate and resist the various levels of acidity in the body such as Gastric acid, Bile, Pepsin or stomach acid and Pancreatin. This is unique as it allows the probiotic to pass through the stomach and digestive barrier to colonise the intestine and promote healthy bacteria.

CAP in CAP Technology
To achieve healthy vaginal bacteria, one can increase the presence of lactobacillus by taking Gyno-Control Vaginal Flora which promotes healthy bacteria cultureAlternative phrases are prevent vaginal infection and
prevent vaginal infections

 promotes healthy bacteria culture as well as a high oxygen environment so that the presence of anaerobic bacteria can be minimised.1

Arkopharma Laboratories has developed CAP in CAP technology to preserve the 2 billion Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14 seeds per capsule and ensure their stability and concentration.

This technology is the addition of a protective barrier between the air and probiotics. One capsule is inserted within another: the one in the middle contains the active probiotics, while the second capsule encloses the first in a protective oil, which protects from ambient air and moisture.

Why take a tablet that works in your gut to fix vaginal flora and why Oral?
The entire gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine, normally contains bacteria. The number of bacteria is greatest in the colon (at least 1,000,000,000 bacteria per ml of fluid) and in the small intestine (less than 10,000 bacteria per ml of fluid).3
To combat the 1 million bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, Gyno-Control is formulated with 2 billion lactobacilli per capsule. The colon is the reservoir of lactobacilli that migrate at a later stage to the vagina. Thus, the added benefit of the oral route is also to improve the intestinal flora. Therefore resulting in a healthy digestive and urinary tract internally and externally restoring the pH balance of the vagina.1

How do you know Gyno-Control is safe?
 Gyno-Control is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).1
Gyno-Control has been endorsed by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) under the claims:
  • Helps to restore and maintain healthy vaginal flora
  • It is stable at room temperature ensuring a longer lifespan and efficacy
  • Completes the treatments for urogenital problems
  • Gyno-Control is well tolerated by the body and works in harmony with the body’s natural acids
  • Gyno-Control has no known contra indications

What are the known factors that disrupt the flora and causes imbalance?
Vaginal infections are caused by an imbalance of the organisms (flora) that naturally exist in the vagina. The natural state of vaginal flora is disrupted when the pH is compromised by:
  • Taking antibiotics (or other medical treatments)
  • Hormonal change
  • Sexual activities
  • Use of tampons
  • Menstruation
  • Pregnancy
  • Unhygienic habits
  • Extensive use of soap

What are the symptoms of vaginal infection?
  • Dryness
  • Itching
  • Burning
  • Painful urination
  • Discharge (with or without odour)
  • Redness

What can you do to keep your Vaginal Flora in balance?
  • Avoid alkaline or basic soaps for intimate hygiene, they reduce the acidity of your vagina and imbalance your microbial flora
  • Choose a pH neutral soap
  • Clean from the front to the back – as in the prevention of cystitis
  • No vaginal douches
  • Avoid tight clothing
  • Consume probiotics as they are composed of living protective lactobacilli and they redress the balance of your flora if taken in sufficient quantities
