Every few weeks we like to pick one topic and explore it in depth. This time around it was… drumroll… The Vaginal Microbiome and of course we wanted to share these insight with you as well!
Unarguably the vaginal microbiome is getting quite a bit of press and attention lately. And rightfully so given how critical it is to overall vaginal health. A number of companies are now recognizing this opportunity, are starting to educate women, developing products and tests, and advocating for more research about how the vaginal microbiome can eventually be used as a diagnostic biomarker.
In a recent post on our blog we set out to answer a few questions with input from FemTec Health Chief Science Officer Dr. Kimberly Capone:
➡️ What is the Vaginal Microbiome and what is its significance in the context of overall women’s health?
➡️ How can the Vaginal Microbiome be protected?
➡️ What is the state of research?
➡️ What commercial opportunities are there?
