KadeFlora Lactic Acid Bacteria Vaginal Capsules To restore and maintain the vaginal flora
Everyday stress and the use of medications, such as antibiotics, can disrupt the balance of the vaginal flora, which acts as a natural protective barrier against the undesirable proliferation of yeasts and bacteria. A weakened protective barrier may lead to vaginal yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.
- Women prone to recurrent vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis or vaginal yeast infection, may benefit from the specialised lactic acid bacteria in KadeFlora Lactic Acid Bacteria Vaginal Capsules (KadeFlora Milchsäurebakterien Vaginalkapseln). These bacteria stabilise the protective vaginal flora, helping to prevent recurring infections.
- Following antibiotic treatment for bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infection), the specialised lactic acid bacteria can restore the protective vaginal flora.
The mode of action of lactic acid bacteria
The vaginal flora consists of a community of diverse microorganisms, including bacteria and yeasts. Lactic acid bacteria typically dominate, producing lactic acid and maintaining an acidic pH. A seamless layer of protective lactic acid bacteria, combined with a stable acidic milieu, helps inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens. A reduction in the number of lactic acid bacteria, caused by factors such as antibiotic treatment, poor intimate hygiene or stress, leads to decreased production of lactic acid and other germicidal substances, compromising the natural protective barrier.
KadeFlora Lactic Acid Bacteria Vaginal Capsules (KadeFlora Milchsäurebakterien Vaginalkapseln) can replenish lactic acid bacteria when their quantity is insufficient. This restores the natural protective barrier with specialised lactic acid bacteria that naturally inhabit the vagina, preventing harmful bacteria from reaching the vaginal wall.

In bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infection), the healthy bacterial balance of the vagina is disrupted: Undesirable bacterial species proliferate and displace the lactic acid bacteria, thereby increasing the vaginal pH.
