Dual benefits in one capsule: vaginal and gut health
Why Women Need Probiotics
Lactobacillus is widely known for its presence in the digestive system, where it supports gut health, boosts immunity, and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. However, feminine (or vaginal) Lactobacillus refers to beneficial strains specifically found in the vaginal environment. These strains play a critical role in maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome. The vagina is a warm and moist environment where both good and bad bacteria coexist. Vaginal Lactobacilli help keep this ecosystem in balance by regulating acidity (pH) and suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria. When this balance is disrupted, it can allow harmful bacteria to multiply, leading to common health issues such as vaginitis.
Vaginitis is a condition many women experience at some point in their lives. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as stress, fatigue, weakened immunity, or hormonal changes. These factors can disturb the vaginal pH and alter the natural flora. For example, menopausal women often face atrophic vaginitis due to decreased estrogen levels. Other causes include wearing tight or non-breathable clothing (like stockings or skinny jeans), or taking oral contraceptives.
Taking probiotics for vaginal health can help prevent such issues. These probiotics contain Lactobacilli strains that survive the digestive tract and naturally settle in the vaginal area, supporting a healthy and balanced microbiome. Regular consumption is especially beneficial for women who suffer from recurrent vaginal infections, and daily intake is often recommended as a preventive measure.

Atomy W Inner Balance features UREX probiotics as its key ingredient. Developed by Chr. Hansen—a Danish company with over 145 years of expertise in probiotics—UREX is the result of more than 35 years of research.
"UREX probiotics combine two specially selected strains: Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14, commonly found in the female vagina, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1, which resides in the female urethra. This unique blend has been clinically proven to support women’s vaginal health through 12 human application studies, including those published in SCI journals. It is the first individually approved probiotic ingredient in Korea recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety specifically for female vaginal health. (Individually Approved Type No. 2014-27)"
- According to the International Probiotics Association (IPA), "The function of probiotics varies by strain."
- Even within the same species of probiotics, different strains can have different functions.
UREX probiotics are designed to safely survive the digestive tract and naturally settle in the vaginal area, helping to maintain a healthy and balanced microbiome.
Atomy W Inner Balance uses plant-based capsules, making it a safe option for those sensitive to animal-derived ingredients. It’s especially recommended for women who want to support their vaginal health—whether you're preparing for childbirth or experiencing hormonal or lifestyle imbalances due to stress or overwork. Just one capsule a day supports both gut and vaginal health with ease.
