Frequently asked questions

Possibly! Research suggests that supplementing with good bacteria, especially Lactobacilli, can prevent UTIs. Lactobacilli dominate the urogenital flora in women, and it has been suggested that replenishing it with lactobacilli may protect against UTIs by fighting pathogens like E.coli, which cause UTIs. Read more about how to treat and prevent UTIs here.

If you take them orally, we recommend taking them in the morning, with or without food. If you’re taking them vaginally, we recommend taking them in the evening before going to bed.

As with most supplements, you only need a certain amount for them to be effective. Your body will just get rid of anything in excess that it doesn’t need… but taking more than the recommended amount won’t cause harm. One tablet daily for 30 days (especially after taking a course of antibiotics) will help replenish your gut bacteria. If you’re currently suffering with an acute vaginal infection, our studies show you need to insert the tablet vaginally over a period of 10 consecutive days. If you frequently suffer from vaginal infections or vaginal dryness, we recommend you take the supplement on an ongoing basis.

Not really! As they are vegan and allergen free it’s unlikely that you will have a negative reaction. Their safety profile has been recognised by the FDA.

For bacteria to be effective they need to reach your gut alive. Freeze-drying the bacteria means they will stay alive, so they retain their properties for longer and you don’t have to store them in the fridge.

ProViotics are not a medication so we can’t say that they “cure” thrush, but our clinical trials show they are 99.8% effective against Candida, the fungus that causes yeast infections. ProViotics contain Lactobacilli, which help keep your vaginal microbiome acidic by producing lactic acid, in turn preventing vaginal infections. If you think you have thrush please consult your GP.

We recommend you take them for a minimum of 30 consecutive days when taken orally, and 10 consecutive days when taken vaginally.

Yes, Daye ProViotics were clinically tested for safety and efficacy in human volunteers.

1 month for the treatment phase and 6 months for monitoring whether the candida re-occurred.

For best results we recommend taking them for a minimum of 30 consecutive days, because that is typically how long they take to work when taken orally. So we’d recommend buying them every couple of months and taking them every day for 30 days straight. Alternatively, if you feel comfortable doing so, you can take them vaginally for just 10 consecutive days.

With clean hands, insert 1 ProViotic tablet into the applicator barrel. Gently insert the applicator into the vagina, slowly press the plunger of the applicator to release the tablet into the vagina, and then gently remove the applicator. After using, pull the plunger completely out of the applicator and rinse both pieces with soapy water, and dry thoroughly.  If you’d prefer to omit the applicator, with clean hands, simply insert 1 ProViotic tablet as deeply as possible into the vagina. Take once daily for a minimum of 10 consecutive days.

Glad you asked!  They contain bacteria grown in organic carrot juice, whereas most probiotic products are grown in milk cultures.  They’re certified organic, and free from allergens like soy, dairy, nuts and gluten They’re freeze-dried  Each tablet contains 2.5 billion live cells of Lactobacillus plantarum GLP3. Most probiotic supplements contain no more than 3 billion.  They’re clinically validated for efficacy in human studies. 

12 months before you open them, 40 days when opened. Make sure to keep them outside of direct sunlight, as the carrot juice will interact with the sun and turn brown.

Nope, only your first order! Refill orders of ProViotics will be sent in a fully compostable pouch!

That’s totally your call, however our clinical trials show they’re more effective when taken vaginally (this is because when taken orally they take a little longer to reach your vaginal microbiome). We recommend taking them vaginally if you struggle with recurring vaginal infections, but you can take them orally as a form of maintenance.
