Chr. Hansen: Unique probiotic concept for women

American women spend nearly 300 million dollars annually on non-prescription medications for the treatment of infections such as yeast and urinary tract infections. Experts estimate that three in four women at some point experience a urogenital infection.

To provide women a scientific and clinically documented natural solution, Chr. Hansen has signed an agreement with Jarrow Formulas, Los Angeles, California, USA, for the distribution of Urex-cap-5 to health food stores in the United States. Urex-cap-5 is a unique probiotic concept for women’s health, and is the only oral probiotic concept clinically documented to restore and maintain a healthy vaginal flora and reduce the risk of urogenital infections.
