Vision

Women’s health research is often underfunded and overlooked, but emerging evidence indicates that the vaginal microbiome can dramatically affect health.

Often, tools like probiotics and prescription medicines are all it takes to nourish a healthy vaginal microbiome, but not always. For those with chronic BV and other vaginal-dysbiosis health issues, Anthera has options! These could include prescription drugs and other FDA-approved interventions, as well as VMT, herbs, probiotics, supplements, and other interventions that naturopathic doctors use to promote systemic health for individuals.
