The Ultimate Guide to the Best Probiotic for Women: Your Go-To Health Companion

I always thought intense cravings were just a tribulation of womanhood, but they don’t have to be. GLP-1 probiotics naturally increase the production of the “un-hunger” hormone, GLP-1, in your body which ultimately helps curb cravings and food noise to help you maintain a healthy weight. While this probiotic definitely has a higher price tag, Pendulum offers a “subscribe and save” membership for $65/1 month supply with the option to pause or cancel at any time. With this membership option and 91% of users reporting reduced cravings, why not give it a try?

In general, I’m pretty skeptical of probiotics, given the market is so crowded, and it can be really hard to discern what strains are beneficial and what strains can actually be a detriment to your health.

With such a science-backed, heavily researched approach, Organic Olivia’s probiotic gave me zero hesitation. Not Your Average Probiotic combines probiotics, prebiotic fiber, and fermented enzymes in one microencapsulated that helps get these probiotics where they need to do their best work. One capsule has 20 billion CFUs of science-backed strains, fiber to support microbiome diversity, and fermented enzymes to assist digestion and occasional bloating, which really does put it in a class of its own.

I took this bad boy every morning right before my breakfast and felt right as rain for the remainder of the day. I’ll admit that gut health is something I’ve been working on for quite some time, so things aren’t so dire, but I felt like my elimination was “complete” and that I experienced fewer bouts of trapped gas in my stomach (which has been a thing).

If you’ve been reading TQE for any length of time, it’s no secret that we love Ritual – and their Synbiotic+ product is no exception. With probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, this vegan-formulated blend is the one you need to keep your nutrition boundaries and get the job done well.

The reviews are in – 29,000+ to be exact on Amazon – people can’t get enough of Nature’s Bounty Probiotic supplements. At just $0.05/per tablet, the efficacy and “one size fits all” nature of the product is kind of my MO. 

Editor Zoë loves Seed’s Daily Synbiotic, citing that it helped the tone and quality of her skin. That’s right, folks, probiotics aren’t just for feeling good – they can help you look good, too. At $49.99/month, it isn’t a cheap investment, but that’s why we’re crowning it the best premium probiotic.

I knew Azo for their UTI medication (shout out!), but I didn’t know until recently that they made a daily probiotic specially formulated for women. By balancing your pH and yeast, this is a sure fire way to keep your hoo-ha at its best.

Watching my mom go through menopause sucked. She was constantly having hot flashes, among other things I’m sure she kept to herself. I only wish I would’ve known about Happy V’s probiotic designed for menopause relief. Meant for those experiencing night sweats, hot flashes, thinning hair, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, this product is highly rated for a reason.

Again, another pricey one, I know… but this one is different. For $69.95/month, you will not only receive Viome’s personalized Precision Probiotics and Prebioitics, but you’ll also get a Gut Intelligence Test to diagnose your gut… plus, you get to retest this every 12 orders to ensure you’re taking the right stuff for your unique body.

My dad used to eat prunes like crazy – and that’s exactly what I thought he was. But maybe he was onto something! These single-serve probiotic prunes allow you to take your probiotics in a tastier way, plus they come in an easy-to-grab packet.

I’m a kombucha girlie through and through. I’ve made it myself, tried all the major brands, and sip it as much as I can. One of the best parts of kombucha, however, is the probiotic content. I love Health-Ade especially for this. It’s easy to find in stores, tastes delicious, and comes in a variety of flavors, including their new SunSip probiotic soda.

I can’t get over the hilarious name of this product. Great work by founder Kourtney Kardashian Barker! By balancing your pH and yeast, this is a sure fire way to keep your hoo-ha at its freshes with an easy-to-digest (literally) gummy.

For another tasty way to take your probiotics, consider Ora’s powder supplement. With two delicious-sounding flavors, Apple & Raspberry and Lavender Lemonade, you can enjoy taking care of yourself in more ways than one.

Though it is technically labeled as a prenatal, this combination of pre + probiotics is one you can take before, during, and after pregnancy. Set baby – and yourself – up for success with this winning combo.

By blending probiotic strains and botanicals, Biocidin hopes to address all of the needs of your gut in one little capsule. With marshmallow root, aloe vera, and quercetin, you’ll be able to digest with confidence.
