Product Information

What women really need – selected bacterial cultures for women

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN is a food supplement with 4 selected bacterial strains that occur naturally in the human body.

The combination contains various lactobacilli, which were specifically selected for OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN. One 2 g portion contains at least 5 billion viable and reproductive bacteria, and two portions contain at least 10 billion.

Who is OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN suitable for?

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN was developed specifically for women who would like to target their bacterial flora with selected lactobacilli.

The product is particularly suitable:

• for women in various stages of life

• for targeted supplementation of the bacterial flora with lactobacilli

• during and after phases in which the natural bacterial flora can be influenced

• in connection with hormonal changes

• during pregnancy and breastfeeding

• during menopause

• for diabetics

• for those with a milk allergy

The natural vaginal flora

The vaginal flora is a complex microbial ecosystem. In many healthy women, it is dominated by various lactobacilli, also known as lactic acid bacteria.

These bacteria produce lactic acid, among other things, and thereby contribute to the typically acidic environment of the vagina.

An acidic vaginal environment creates conditions under which various undesirable microorganisms are less able to multiply.

Lactobacilli that can naturally occur in the vaginal area include, for example:

• Lactobacillus crispatus

• Lactobacillus gasseri

• Lactobacillus jensenii

These three species are also components of OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN.

What can influence the vaginal flora?

The composition of the vaginal flora is not the same in every woman and can change over the course of life.

Factors of influence can include, among others:

• Antibiotics

• hormonal changes

• pregnancy

• menstrual cycle

• menopause

• hormonal contraceptives

• sexuality

• personal hygiene

• various illnesses and medications

If the composition of the vaginal flora changes, the ratio of different microorganisms can also change.

Such a microbial imbalance can be accompanied by discomfort. However, if symptoms such as unusual discharge, unpleasant odor, itching, burning, or pain persist, the cause should be clarified by a gynecologist, as different conditions may be behind them.

Gut and vaginal microbiome

The gut and vaginal microbiomes are two different microbial habitats.

However, microorganisms can be transferred between different parts of the body. The exact structure and stability of the vaginal microbiome are influenced by numerous biological and hormonal factors.

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN is taken orally and supplements the bacterial flora with four selected human bacterial strains.

How does OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN work?

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN contains a combination of 4 reproductive bacterial strains:

• Lactobacillus crispatus

• Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus

• Lactobacillus gasseri

• Lactobacillus jensenii

One 2 g portion provides at least 5 billion viable and reproductive bacteria.

Two portions daily provide at least 10 billion bacteria.

According to the manufacturer, the viability and reproductive capacity of the specifically coordinated bacteria are guaranteed until the best-before date.

Recommended consumption

Take 1 sachet of OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN (= 2 g) 1 to 2 times daily.

Stir the contents of one sachet into approx. 1/8 liter of water.

Alternatively, the powder can also be stirred into diluted fruit juice, milk, tea (max. 40 °C), yogurt, or similar food.

Wait at least 1 minute for activation, then stir again and consume.

It is recommended to take it on an as empty stomach as possible, for example:

• in the morning before breakfast

• in the evening before dinner

• before going to bed

According to the manufacturer, OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN can also be used over a longer period of time.

Important notes on preparation

The liquid in which OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN is dissolved:

• must not be hotter than 40 °C.

• should not be coffee or alcohol.

• should not have a very acidic pH value, e.g., cola, grapefruit juice, or vinegar.

• should ideally not contain carbonation.

Use in case of fructose intolerance

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which serve as a food source for the bacteria contained.

In the case of known fructose intolerance, the manufacturer recommends extending the activation time to 30 minutes.

During this extended activation time, the bacteria contained can metabolize a large part of the added fructooligosaccharides.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN contains bacterial strains that occur naturally in the human body.

According to the manufacturer, the product can also be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

However, especially in the case of newly occurring vaginal discomfort during pregnancy, a gynecological examination should take place, and self-treatment should not be relied upon exclusively.

Important notes

OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN is a food supplement and not a medicinal product for the treatment of vaginal infections.

The product does not replace medical treatment for bacterial vaginosis, a fungal infection, or any other gynecological disease.

In the case of itching, burning, pain, unusual or unpleasant-smelling discharge, bleeding, or recurring complaints, the cause should be clarified by a gynecologist.

Antibiotics, antifungal agents, or other medically prescribed treatments should not be independently replaced or discontinued by OMNi-BiOTiC® WOMAN.
