La-14® CLINICAL STUDIES & PUBLICATIONS
Preclinical studies have shown La-14® can impact both the innate and the adaptive immune system.¹ These effects and antipathogenic activity are thought to be potential mechanisms behind the efficacy of La-14® combined with HN001™ for intimate health (HOWARU® Protect Prenatal+ and HOWARU® Feminine Health) as well as women’s health.² ³
In addition, these two strains together have been shown to support healthy vaginal colonization and microbiota through oral supplementation.⁴
