Featured and awarded Gold winner of 'Best V care' category with Perfect V and Silver for our pH test in the 'At Home Tests'.
"If you have persistent thrush, BV or UTIs and the antibiotics aren’t working, your story is similar to that of VJJ Health co-founder Annabel Power, whose parents Alison and Adam have set up a family business centred on vaginal microbiome health. As well as this oral probiotics capsule (you need very specific strains for V-care) there’s a powder drink that also has D-Mannose, a natural sugar found in cranberries that prevents the bad bacteria from sticking to the walls of your urethra so you can pee it out. Plus there’s a vaginal pH swab test (high pH means higher likelihood of BV). I was really impressed by the quality of the research and the targeted strains of probiotics in this oral capsule that takes around three-to-five days to work and can be taken alongside medication. It’s popular in menopause too, as UTIs increase.”
