lactobacillus jensenii LBV116

Lactobacillus jensenii LBV116 is a **vaginal-specific probiotic strain** of Lactobacillus jensenii, naturally found in the lower reproductive tract of women and comprising around 25% of a healthy vaginal microbiota[1][2][5]. It is specifically formulated to support and restore vaginal health, particularly by producing bioactive compounds—such as hydrogen peroxide—that help maintain the vagina’s natural defenses and inhibit pathogenic bacteria[1][5]. LBV116 aids in acidification and dominance of lactobacilli in the vaginal ecosystem, which is associated with lower risks of bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and preterm birth[1][2]. The strain is included in several clinically researched multi-strain oral probiotic blends, notably together with L. crispatus LBV88, L. rhamnosus LBV96, and L. gasseri LBV150N[1][2][5]. Clinical studies suggest oral administration can trend toward restoring healthy vaginal microbiota and improving Nugent scores in women with intermediate microbiota[5].
