• The properties of Zingiber Officinale supporting Women's Health:
  • STANISIERE, Julien; MOUSSET, Pierre-Yves; LAFAY, Sophie. How Safe Is Ginger Rhizome for Decreasing Nausea and Vomiting in Women during Early Pregnancy? Foods, 2018, 7.4: 50. PMID:29614764
  • BOONE, Sarah; SHIELDS, Kelly M. Treating pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting with ginger. Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2005, 39.10: 1710-1713. PMID:16131535
    CONCLUSIONS: While data are insufficient to recommend ginger universally and there are concerns with product quality due to limited regulation of dietary supplements, ginger appears to be a fairly low-risk and effective treatment for nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy. In low doses, this may be appropriate for patients not responding to traditional first-line therapies.
• The properties of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus supporting Women's Health:
  • HOMAYOUNI, Aziz; et al. Effects of Probiotics on the Recurrence of Bacterial Vaginosis: A Review. Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2014, 18.1: 79-86. PMID:24299970
    Conclusions: Although the results of different studies are controversial, most studies have been in favor of the probiotics in the prevention or treatment of BV, and no adverse effects have been reported. Therefore, it may be helpful to recommend daily consumption of probiotic products to improve public health among women.
  • PALMA, Ettore; et al. Long-term Lactobacillus Rhamnosus BMX 54 Application to Restore a Balanced Vaginal Ecosystem: A Promising Solution Against HPV-infection. BMC infectious diseases, 2018, 18.1: 13. PMID:29304768
    Conclusions: The consistent percentage of clearance of PAP-smear abnormalities and HPV-clearance obtained in long-term treatment group has been interestingly high and encouraging. Obviously, larger and randomized studies are warranted to confirm these encouraging results, but we believe that eubiosis re-establishment is the key to tackle effectively even HPV-infection.

    Conclusions: Probiotic supplementation with vaginal Lactobacillus rhamnosus BMX54 seems to be useful in hindering bacteria growth especially after antibiotic therapy; therefore this intervention may be considered a new prophylactic treatment for preventing recurrence of BV, in particular in high-risk patients.
