Why a Generic Probiotic Is Not Built for a Woman's Body
Every part of a woman's probiotic is different than a man's. You have to worry about vaginal health — Lactobacillus crispatus. You have to worry about BV — Lactobacillus gasseri. Up to 25% of your estrogen is recycled by your bacteria. The wrong bacteria means worse PMS, heavier periods, an irregular cycle.
And your nervousness — how much you worry — is partly driven by a molecule called allopregnanolone. When your cycle shifts (or you're perimenopausal, or menopausal), the wrong bacteria stop hitting your GABA receptors the way they should. PH-9 covers the gut, the vaginal biome, and the gut-brain axis — with prebiotic and postbiotic so it all works together.
