Probiotics: According to the currently adopted definition by FAO/WHO, probiotics are: ‘Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host’

Prebiotics are a category of functional foods, defined as: Non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria, and thus improve host health.

Symbiotics are solutions with both probiotics and prebiotics

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginitis symptoms among women of childbearing age. Bacterial vaginosis is a sign of a change in the growth of vaginal bacteria. The resulting chemical imbalance occurs when different types of bacteria outnumber the normal “good,” or beneficial, ones. Instead of Lactobacillus (a type bacteria that normally lives in the vagina) being most common, increased numbers of bacteria such as Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides, Mobiluncus, and Mycoplasma hominis inhabit the vaginas of women with Bacrerial vaginosis.

Vaginal ecosystem represents all the bacterias that populate the vaginal mucosa as normal or pathological way
 A healthy vaginal ecosystem is characterized by an intact vaginal epithelium and a mircroflora dominated by lactobacilli. The predominant species of lactobacilli found in the vagina are "Lactobacillus crispatus" and "L. jensenii, with other species being less common.
