Abby's Magazine - Volume 6 Issue 2| Page 5 Men are from Mars Women are from Venus – Why Sex Matters When Selecting a Probiotic The anatomy and physiology of a man is different from a woman, and these differences also apply to the microbiome. Studies have found that the microbiome becomes distinctly different in opposite-sex twins after puberty, compared to same-sex twins where it remains similar. This phenomenon is called the "microgenderome," and it's the interaction between microbiota, sex hormones and the immune system. Women's Only Probiotics P Probiotics for women should include specific strains for vaginal and skin health as follows: • L. fermentum – decreases vaginal pH • L. acidophilus – anti-microbial support • L. gasseri – vaginal microbiome support • Lactococcus lactis – healthy skin support Urinary Tract Infections UTIs are more common in women than men. In addition to the above strains, look out for: • • L. Jensenii – the most abundant strain in a woman's vaginal ecosystem • L. rhamnosus – anti-microbial support against uropathogens For accelerated healing from UTIs and extra preventative support, find a probiotic with whole organic cranberry. Low Mood Did you know that women are twice as likely to experience anxiety, work stress and insomnia? Here are two mood support strains: • • L. gasseri – reduces anxiety, depressive mood and improves sleep quality • L. salivarius – improved reaction to stressful stimuli To really up the ante, try a probiotic with Extramel™, a melon juice concentrate demonstrated to provide antioxidant defense and reduce stress and fatigue. While taking a women's specific probiotic may not necessarily help you settle a squabble with the opposite sex, it can help your personal microbiome flourish.
