Probiotics are well-known for aiding digestion, but their benefits go far beyond the gut. Swanson Women’s Daily Probiotic + Prebiotic FOS is a thoughtfully developed formula designed to support a woman’s body holistically—from digestive and urinary health to immune balance, mental well-being, and more.
Crafted by our in-house experts, this synbiotic blend helps promote a balanced microbiome throughout the entire body.
Your gut is more than just your digestive powerhouse—it plays a vital role in immune defense and mental wellness through the gut-brain axis. In fact, around 70% of your immune system lives in your gut! That’s why a healthy gut contributes to resilience against stress, stronger immunity, and improved cognitive function. This formula includes multiple strains of clinically studied HOWARU® probiotics, with benefits specially targeted for women. Among them is Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, a doctor-trusted strain known for supporting digestive health. Other strains in the blend help reduce stress, soothe the digestive system, and even support respiratory health.
Hormonal changes can often affect gut balance, so we’ve included probiotic strains that align with the female microbiome to promote comfort and stability. The vaginal tract also benefits from probiotics, especially those that help maintain healthy pH levels and ease symptoms commonly associated with menopause, like dryness. For additional urinary tract support, we’ve added clinically researched cranberry—known for its role in supporting bladder and urinary comfort.
To amplify the effect of probiotics, this synbiotic formula also includes prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides). These act as nourishment for the good bacteria, helping them thrive and promoting a healthy colonic pH. The formula is shelf-stable—no refrigeration required—and for best results, it’s recommended to take the capsule about 30 minutes before a meal.
