HIGH
> 95% lactobacillus bacteria
Over 95% beneficial bacteria indicates a health promoting vaginal microbiome environment.
Flora in abundance
Helping you support the natural balance of your vaginal microbiome for better genitourinary health.
Your vaginal microbiome maintains its own balance, until something disrupts it.
A healthy vaginal microbiome should show dominance of beneficial lactobacillus bacteria.
MEDIUM
> 80% lactobacillus bacteria
Less than 80% beneficial bacteria may allow opportunistic bacteria to proliferate.
LOW
< 50% lactobacillus bacteria
A low amount of lactobacillus bacteria allows opportunistic microbes to take up space, resulting in an unbalanced vaginal microbiome.
When this dominance is disrupted, opportunistic bacteria and yeast can proliferate, leading to a range of symptoms and conditions.
Unlike the gut microbiome, where diversity is key, dominance of the acid-producing lactobacillus is protective of good genitourinary health, and supports resilience in this environment.
A Lactobacillus-dominant microbiome helps maintain healthy vaginal tissue, preserving the integrity of the mucous layer and cell walls, keeping the environment balanced and symptom-free.

Persistent symptoms or repeated infections may signal a disrupted vaginal microbiome that needs support.
Millions of women live with recurring vaginal and urinary symptoms because they cannot find lasting relief. Women deserve better.

A pro-inflammatory vaginal microbiome with a high load of opportunistic yeast is associated with vulvovaginal candidiasis (thrush).
TEST RECURRENT THRUSHAn imbalanced vaginal microbiome with a high load of anaerobic bacteria is associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV).
TEST RECURRENT BVA pro-inflammatory vaginal microbiome with a high load of aerobic bacteria is associated with vaginitis symptoms and a higher risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
TEST CHRONIC UTIs / AVAn imbalanced microbiome can also have important consequences for fertility outcomes, and women in menopause, where the vaginal and urinary environment is more vulnerable

Ultimate V
Ultimate V contains an award winning and patented blend of clinically researched Lactobacillus strains, proven to reach the vagina alive. Lactobacillus species are the most common bacterial species found in a healthy vagina, contributing to vaginal health by promoting a balanced vaginal microbiome.

Key benefits
Ultimate V now with added biotin, which contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes to support vaginal health.
Ultimate UT
Ultimate UT is an award winning and patented blend of vaginal Lactobacillus strains, and added D-mannose. D-mannose prevents certain types of bacteria, such as E.coli, a common uropathogen, from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract, reducing the risk of infection.

Oral probiotic with lactobacillus strains plus D-Mannose to support women’s genitourinary health.
Most standard diagnostics are not sensitive enough to differentiate between conditions and identify symptom drivers, resulting in many women inadequately addressing the root cause of their issue.
Microscopy
Culture
The infographic compares standard diagnostic approaches including microscopy and culture, then shows how incomplete testing can lead to a cycle of symptoms, treatment, temporary relief and recurrence.
Material from your vaginal swab is placed on a glass slide and examined under a microscope by a trained microbiologist. Because this type of microscopy requires experts to interpret the results accurately, it is now used less often.
Most vaginal and urinary tests rely on culture methods, where samples are grown in a lab to identify organisms. The problem is that a lot of bacteria do not grow well, or do not grow at all under standard culture conditions.
Current testing methods aren't always able to identify what is truly causing the problem. As a result, women can spend years trapped in a cycle of getting treatment without lasting relief.
Our molecular PMP™ testing methodology can quantify the relative number of each bacteria and yeast strain present, helping you get to the root cause of symptoms.
Molecular testing
Molecular testing can detect small amounts of bacteria that culture may miss. It is also more accurate for mixed infections because it can identify multiple bacteria at the same time. Our vaginal microbiome test is designed to identify the specific bacteria driving symptoms.
Testing can help identify which microbes may be causing symptoms and how many healthy bacteria are present too, so rebalancing interventions can be targeted and long lasting.
A really valuable assessment tool for women's health physiotherapists. It's particularly effective for confidently identifying or excluding microbial factors when managing complex pelvic pain, dyspareunia, or recurrent UTIs. It enables a more holistic approach to care, and patients greatly value gaining a clearer understanding of their symptoms.
Really helpful test that covers so many bacterias that could be causing symptoms. Very helpful if you've tried testing before with no resolution as this test covers things that GPs don't. Jessica was also really understanding and informative on post test follow up.
A seamless process from start to finish. Jess provided me with support, help and a plan to move forward. Everything is done with care and I felt listened to, which is something every woman needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to anyone who needs help and guidance. Huge thanks, here’s to healing.
Very detailed test, results were delivered within the timeframe and found the follow-up call with a specialist very valuable! Overall would recommend! You can tell the team cares about individual experiences and women's health.
Women consult me for answers to recurrent thrush, urinary tract infections and bacterial vaginosis having tried many other treatments. I now recommend Ultimate UT and Ultimate V to my patients as these contain the specific lactobacilli associated with vaginal health.

Probiotics for vaginal and bladder health
82.6% of participants reported symptom improvement
Reported benefits included reduced urinary urgency, frequency, bladder irritation and recurrent UTI symptoms, as well as reductions in vaginal dryness, discharge, odour, itching and soreness. Improvements were observed in both urinary and vaginal symptoms.
