Our Ingredients & The Science Behind Them

At VEV+, we believe real wellness starts with understanding.

That is why every ingredient in our formula is chosen with intention, backed by research, and selected to work in harmony with the body rather than forcing quick results.

Our approach is not about masking symptoms.

It is about supporting the natural systems that already exist within you and helping them function at their best over time.

Below, we take you through every ingredient in VEV+, why it matters, and how it supports vaginal health in a gentle and science-supported way.

A Foundation Built on Balance

The vaginal microbiome is a delicate ecosystem.

When balanced, it protects against irritation, odor, and discomfort.

When disrupted, even small changes can lead to discomfort or recurring issues.

Research consistently shows that a healthy vaginal environment is dominated by beneficial Lactobacillus strains. These bacteria help maintain an optimal pH, protect against harmful microbes, and support overall comfort.

VEV+ was designed to support this ecosystem from the inside out.

Our Active Ingredients

Lactobacillus Crispatus

One of the most dominant and protective strains found in a healthy vaginal microbiome.

Lactobacillus crispatus plays a key role in maintaining an acidic vaginal environment, which helps prevent unwanted bacteria from thriving. Research links higher levels of this strain to improved vaginal stability and long-term balance.

It is often associated with resilience, consistency, and reduced recurrence of imbalance when supported over time.

Cranberry Extract

Cranberry has long been studied for its role in urinary and vaginal health.

It contains naturally occurring compounds that help prevent unwanted bacteria from adhering to sensitive tissues. While cranberry is not a treatment, it acts as a supportive ingredient that complements probiotic activity and overall microbial balance.

We use a concentrated extract to ensure consistency and efficacy.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus

A well-researched probiotic known for its ability to adhere to vaginal and intestinal walls.

This strain supports microbial diversity and helps reinforce the body’s natural defense barrier. It is commonly studied for its role in maintaining comfort, freshness, and overall intimate health.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus is also known for its ability to survive digestion, allowing it to reach the areas where it is most effective.

Prebiotic Fiber Blend

Prebiotics are not bacteria themselves. They are the nourishment that beneficial bacteria need to thrive.

Our formula includes a carefully selected prebiotic fiber blend that feeds good bacteria and helps them establish themselves more effectively. This creates an environment where beneficial strains can grow, stabilize, and continue doing their work long term.

Without prebiotics, probiotics often struggle to survive or remain effective.

Lactobacillus Gasseri

Naturally present in a healthy vaginal microbiome, this strain plays a supportive role in maintaining optimal pH levels.

Lactobacillus gasseri has been studied for its ability to coexist with other beneficial strains and contribute to a stable microbial ecosystem. It works best as part of a diverse probiotic blend rather than on its own.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus

One of the most widely studied probiotic strains.

Lactobacillus acidophilus supports digestive and vaginal health by helping maintain microbial harmony. It produces lactic acid, which supports a protective environment and helps discourage imbalance.

Its long history of use makes it a foundational strain in many clinically studied probiotic formulas.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C supports immune function and contributes to maintaining a healthy vaginal pH.

In this formula, it plays a supportive role by helping create an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive while discouraging imbalance. It also contributes to overall cellular health and antioxidant support.

Lactobacillus Reuteri

A strain valued for its calming and stabilizing properties.

Lactobacillus reuteri helps support microbial balance by promoting beneficial bacteria and discouraging overgrowth of unwanted organisms. Research suggests it may contribute to a more resilient vaginal environment over time.

This strain is often associated with long-term balance rather than quick changes.

Supporting Ingredients

In addition to our active ingredients, we use carefully selected functional ingredients to ensure quality, stability, and consistency: Maltitol, Water, Pectin, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate & Carnauba Wax.

Each is included for a specific purpose such as texture, stability, or preservation, and all are commonly used in high-quality supplement formulations.

Why Our Formula Works Together

What makes VEV+ different is not just the ingredients themselves, but how they work together.

Rather than relying on one strain or one quick fix, our formula supports:

  • Microbial diversity
  • pH balance
  • Long-term stability
  • Gentle daily support

This creates an environment where your body can do what it is designed to do, without disruption or harsh intervention.

Science-Led, Human-Centered

Our ingredient choices are guided by clinical research and modern microbiome science, with a strong focus on women’s health. We work with well-studied strains and ingredients that have been researched by leading universities and medical institutions for their safety, effectiveness, and long-term benefits.

At the same time, we recognize that science is never one-size-fits-all. Every body is different. Every experience is personal. True wellness is not created through quick fixes or trends, but through consistency, understanding, and care over time.

That’s why our formulas are designed to support your body’s natural processes rather than override them. We focus on balance, resilience, and long-term support, allowing your body to do what it is naturally designed to do.

VEV+ is not about masking symptoms or chasing perfection.

It’s about building trust with your body again.

We believe that when women understand what’s happening inside their bodies, they feel more confident, more empowered, and more in control of their health. Knowledge becomes reassurance. Consistency becomes strength.

This is wellness rooted in science, shaped by empathy, and guided by real life.

A thoughtful approach to intimate health, built to support you now and long term.
