Biofilm is a collection of microorganisms bound together (in a matrix) that attaches to surfaces.

Green tea leaf extract is an ingredient in Defend, but the caffeine is removed during the extraction process, leaving only a small amount. This small amount is unlikely to have a stimulating effect, but individuals who are highly sensitive to caffeine may prefer to take Defend earlier in the day.

The orange color you're seeing is curcumin powder, one of the ingredients in Defend. Due to the natural properties of curcumin, slight color variations can occur from month to month — this is completely normal!

In Control is for bladder control support and Defend is for proactive urinary tract health. 

In Control uses clinically-studied ingredients to help with occasional overactive bladder and urinary incontinence due to normal aging. If you experience urinary urgency, frequency, leaks or nighttime bathroom trips, we recommend In Control to support healthy bladder function.^† 

If you struggle with recurring urinary tract issues, we recommend Defend as part of our proactive urinary tract health regimen. Ingredients in Defend help cleanse biofilm* (an unwanted buildup of microorganisms that can attach to tissue) while also supporting bladder wall integrity* for daily urinary tract support.^†

Promote is a clinically studied 15-day formula which includes lactoferrin and 2 strains of “good” bacteria. Lactoferrin works with the lactic acid bacteria to promote a healthy vaginal microbiome – which is key since vaginal health & urinary health are tightly linked. ^†

No, Promote is a probiotic designed for vaginal health, not digestive health. Not all probiotics are the same, as there are many different types of lactic acid bacteria. The specific types of lactic acid bacteria in Promote are intended to colonize the vagina and provide vaginal health benefits. ^†

Lactoferrin is a protein that works together with good lactic acid producing bacteria to support a healthy vaginal microbiome. By promoting a balanced vaginal environment, lactoferrin aids lactic acid bacteria in reducing itching and discharge, providing month-long comfort for your vaginal health. ^†

One ingredient in Promote, Lactoferrin, is derived from milk. Reactions to different milk-derived ingredients may vary based on a person's sensitivity to lactose. Promote has never been specifically studied in those with lactose intolerance. Therefore, we recommend that individuals with lactose intolerance concerns speak to their healthcare practitioner before taking Promote.

We’ve included the strains plus lactoferrin shown to maintain vaginal health and have decided to not include anything extra. Why? Microbiomes are sensitive ecosystems, and we believe it is better to not include strains with unknown impact.
