Early womanhood
In early womanhood, life offers a world of opportunities. But it can be a stressful time that can have a major impact on a young woman’s health and well-being.
Nurture her nature
She’s making lifestyle choices while learning to manage expectations and balance study, career and societal pressures. That can impact her microbiome’s balance and make her more vulnerable to common feminine issues and a compromised immune system.
It’s a good time to focus on the health needs of young woman.
Let’s have success without the stress
Stress hormones can disturb the microbiome’s natural balance1,2. And that can lead to a wide range of health challenges for young women
Vaginal comfort
As many as 50% of women will have an imbalance in their vaginal bacteria3-5.
Digestive health
Everyone can struggle with digestive issues, but women have the additional complication of their menstrual cycles. Especially young women can experience constipation in connection with their period6.
Promoting gut-brain axis
There are many kinds of gut challenges related to the gut-brain axis. Globally about 40% of the population is affected, with women more than men7.
