HIGH
> 95% lactobacillus bacteria
Over 95% beneficial bacteria indicates a health promoting vaginal microbiome environment.
What is Microbiome-led Care?
Microbiome-led Care™ is our approach to intimate health: understanding the vaginal microbiome first, then supporting it, alongside your clinician.
A healthy vaginal microbiome is dominated by beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria. When this dominance is disrupted, opportunistic bacteria and yeasts can proliferate, leading to a range of symptoms and conditions. Unlike the gut microbiome, where diversity is key, dominance of acid-producing Lactobacillus protects genitourinary health and supports resilience in this environment. A Lactobacillus-dominant microbiome helps maintain healthy vaginal tissue, preserving the integrity of the protective mucosal layer and keeping the environment balanced.
MEDIUM
> 80% lactobacillus bacteria
Less than 80% beneficial bacteria may allow opportunistic bacteria to proliferate.
LOW
< 50% lactobacillus bacteria
A low amount of lactobacillus bacteria allows opportunistic microbes to take up space, resulting in an unbalanced vaginal microbiome.

When symptoms persist
Persistent symptoms or repeated infections can be a sign that the vaginal microbiome needs support. Millions of women live with recurring vaginal and urinary symptoms without finding lasting relief.
Women deserve better. Microbiome-led Care™ starts by understanding what is happening in the vaginal microbiome, so that support can be targeted rather than guesswork.
