BV is not a cleanliness issue and that myth causes more harm than the condition itself. 🚫 Bacterial vaginosis happens when the vaginal microbiome shifts. In a balanced state, Lactobacillus bacteria help keep vaginal pH in a healthy acidic range. When those protective bacteria decrease and other bacteria become more dominant, pH can rise and symptoms like odor, watery or gray discharge, irritation, or discomfort may appear. This is why meaningful support looks beyond short-term symptom relief and focuses on microbiome balance. Happy V’s Prebiotic + Probiotic is formulated to support that process. It includes PreforPro®, a prebiotic studied for its ability to help create an environment that supports beneficial bacteria, along with seven clinically studied probiotic strains that help replenish Lactobacillus. These bacteria produce compounds like lactic acid that support healthy pH and overall vaginal balance. If you have questions about BV, pH, or the vaginal microbiome, drop them below.
