🌸 Science Behind Aphrodite: Ingredient Research & Benefits
Aphrodite Vaginal Probiotic Gummies aren’t just delicious—they're powered by ingredients selected for their clinically studied benefits in supporting vaginal health, odor control, and sexual confidence. Here’s how each one works:
🔬 Lactobacillus rhamnosus & Lactobacillus reuteri (500 mg)

Purpose: Anti-inflammatory and taste-enhancing benefits.
-
Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme known for reducing inflammation and aiding digestion—often touted for subtly enhancing vaginal taste and odor.
