The Vaginal Microbiome: A Key Guardian of Women's Health, and How b.elle Can Help

The vaginal microbiome plays a vital role in protecting women’s health. It consists of a community of microorganisms, predominantly lactobacilli, that maintain a slightly acidic pH and prevent the overgrowth of harmful pathogens. When this balance is disturbed due to antibiotics, hormonal shifts, or lifestyle changes — women can experience recurrent infections, discomfort, or inflammation.

 

How b.elle Supports the Vaginal Microbiome

b.elle is a targeted probiotic supplement created specifically to support women’s health by restoring and protecting the vaginal microbiota. It features Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CA15, a probiotic strain clinically studied for its ability to survive the GI tract and colonize both the intestinal and vaginal environments.

 

Why CA15 is Unique

  • It adheres to vaginal epithelial cells, which helps restore natural flora and defend against harmful bacteria and yeasts such as Candida spp. 
  • It supports cross-colonization — after reaching the gut, it travels to the vaginal tract, helping to rebalance microbiota in both areas. 
  • It contributes to reducing pH in the vaginal environment, creating a less hospitable space for harmful microbes.

 

Comprehensive Support for PMS and Menopause

b.elle also includes standardized extracts of saffron and olive leaf polyphenols:

  • Saffron extract may help alleviate premenstrual symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and irritability by supporting GABA production and emotional balance. 
  • Olive polyphenols, particularly oleuropein, have been studied for their benefits in perimenopause and menopause, including reduced hot flashes, better sleep, and antioxidant protection.

 

Vitamin Support for Psychological and Skin Health

b.elle also contains vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and B7 (biotin), which support nervous system function, mental balance, and healthy skin and hair — areas often affected during hormonal shifts.

b.elle is vegan, free from lactose and gluten, and designed to support modern women through every stage of life, whether they're dealing with recurring infections, hormonal transitions, or just want to protect their inner ecosystem.
