Over 25 years of research supports the oral use of GR-1 ® and RC-14 ® to colonize and promote healthy vaginal and urinary tract health.* A special manufacturing process protects the probiotic strains in Fem-Dophilus ® from stomach acid and enhances probiotic bacterial survival to the lower intestine.*

Several human and in vitro studies have documented the safety of GR-1 and RC-14. Jarrow Formulas obtains the materials for Fem-Dophilus® probiotics from a pharmaceutical GMP level manufacturer. Advanced and accurate genetic analyses are conducted to ensure the correct identity of the strains. This is in keeping with ultimate quality control.
