FloraFemme Probiotic Suppositories Review

 

FloraFemme Probiotic Suppositories are a homeopathic remedy that’s supposed to treat and prevent vaginal yeast infections and BV. In this article, I’ll tell you why I think this ‘remedy’ is not worth its price and what are better and much more effective alternatives.

 

 

Name: FloraFemme

 

Probiotic Strains: 57 billion CFU: Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Lactobacillus Reuteri, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Brevis, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Paracasei, Lactobacillus Salicarius, Bifidobacterium Lactis, Lactobacillus Casei and Bifidus Longum. (All of them labeled as Inactive Ingredients)

 

Other Ingredients: Aloe Socotrina HPUS 4X (Labeled as Active Ingredient)

 

Suppository Count: 6

What is Aloe Socotrina HPUS 4X?

 

As Aloe Socotrina HPUS 4X is the only ‘active’ ingredient in this homeopathic remedy, it’s important to know exactly what it is and how it’s supposed to work. Aloe Socotrina is prepared from aloes. Aloes can successfully treat vaginal yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis dues to its excellent antifungal and antimicrobial properties.

 

But what does HPUS 4X Mean?

 

HPUS means that a remedy has been accepted and certified by Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. 4X stands for how many times Aloe Socotrina has been diluted in 9 parts of liquid.

After such dilution, it’s difficult to detect any particles of Aloe Socotrina in the prepared remedy, but homeopathy believes that the liquid can somehow remember the properties of the diluted substance (!).

 

Basically, there’s not Aloe in the actual suppositories.

 

What About the Probiotics?

 

The label states that the 11 probiotic strains are inactive ingredients. Inactive ingredients in homeopathy are the ones that are used as fillers to give volume to the suppository.

 

FloraFemme has got no information about the viability of the probiotics it’s supposed to contain and no information about the temperature it should be stored in.

 

Most reputable probiotic product manufacturers recommend keeping their products below 25 degrees Celsius or in the fridge, to make sure they’re alive when inserted or ingested.

 

Other Disadvantages of FloraFemme:

 

  • They offer no money back guarantee

 

  • There are no studies that confirm the effectiveness of this product

 

  • They’re really expensive. Each suppository will cost you almost $10!

 

  • They’ve got 41% of negative reviews on Amazon. It’s pretty bad, don’t you think?

 

What Should I use Instead Of FloraFemme?

 

My favorite probiotic suppositories are called Canesflor. They’ve got one probiotic strain called Lactobacillus plantarum and they’ve been scientifically tested. You can check my Canesflor review if you want more information, but the main advantages are:

 

 

  • it’s scientifically tested

 

  • it’s not homeopathic

 

  • it’s much cheaper than FloraFemme

If you want to use probiotic suppositories to treat or prevent vaginal infections, Canesflor is a great choice. you can be sure that it actually contains probiotics in sufficient numbers to support your vaginal health.

 

 

Verdict:

 

I don’t recommend FloraFemme because it’s a homeopathic remedy. It means that it’s active ingredient is diluted to a point it won’t be detected in the suppositories.

 

Apart from that, it’s really expensive and each box contains only 6 suppositories. The high number of negative reviews shows that this product simply doesn’t work.
