OLLY’s Newest Line Of Vitamins Is Upping The Women's Health Game

As a kid, my mom made sure I did two things every day that were sure to keep me on the right path to wellness. Those two things? Drink a glass of milk with my dinner, and take my daily vitamins.

No matter how much dirt I accumulated on my clothes by the end of the day or how many scoops of ice cream I had for dessert, all was forgiven if I just abided by these simple healthy habits.

These days, dairy is not as friendly to me as it once was. But there’s something familiar and reliable about continuing to take my daily vitamins as an adult. Of course, my needs have changed over the years — especially when it comes to what supplements my body requires. As a kid, I took vitamins that were essential for growth and development of strong bones, like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and calcium. Now that I’m over 30 (and no longer building new bones), my priorities have shifted to include vitamins that support other areas of my body — like my vagina.

Unfortunately, vaginal health often takes a backseat to other physical manifestations of wellness (which may be, in part, because we refer to it as a ‘private’ part). But the truth is, the older we get, the more important our vaginal health is. Vaginal problems can affect your fertility, sex drive, and ability to orgasm — plus, they can be incredibly stressful, dilute your self confidence, and be incredibly painful (the majority of women who’ve experienced a UTI can vouch for that one!).

Fortunately, OLLY is upping the women’s health game and prioritizing vaginal health with products designed to keep your vagina happy. The Plan B Corporation — a certification verifying a business meets high standards of performance, accountability, and transparency — has an entire collection of women’s health products dedicated to female empowerment and self-care. OLLY goes beyond skin care (though they have products that’ll make your skin glow, too!) providing a whole new approach to taking care of your body. As an adult, I’ve definitely learned how important it is to take care of myself first in order to be a better person, partner, friend, and employee — and that includes taking care of my vagina.

One of my go-to products includes OLLY’s Happy Hoo-Ha. This probiotic blend delivers a clinically-studied dose of Lactobacilli — a ‘good’ bacteria naturally found in your vaginal tract — to ensure healthy vaginal pH levels. Factors like infections, aging, and sexual activity can lead to changes and imbalances in your vaginal pH levels, and these imbalances can lead to higher risk of infections and fertility issues. Lactobacilli keeps your vagina acidic enough to kill harmful bacteria, protecting it from pathogens and infections. By helping to maintain a balance of good bacteria and keeping pH levels in check, Happy Hoo-Ha delivers the perfect dose of self-care-down-there confidence.

Another amazing product from OLLY is their Cleansing Cranberry capsules. This blend of cranberry extract and Vitamin C is designed to keep your urinary tract and bladder in peak performance (and safe from UTIs!). One serving is the equivalent of one glass of cranberry juice, and research shows that cranberry drinks can reduce the risk of pathogen adhesion without negatively affecting urinary pH or vaginal microbiota. The addition of Vitamin C adds a powerful antioxidant to the capsule that helps protect the cells and tissues of the urinary tract.

Not only are OLLY’s products empowering women to take better control of their wellness, but another thing I appreciate is that the company crafts its products with transparency so you know exactly what you’re getting every time you buy or take an OLLY. Every single ingredient is listed clearly on its label, and OLLY doesn’t use artificial sources for any of its flavors, colors, or sweeteners. Plus, OLLY uses non-GMO sources of raw materials whenever possible, and all products are gluten-free.

In addition to partnering with suppliers and manufacturers who meet OLLY’s strict requirements for transparency, traceability, and documentation, the company is dedicated to making sure its products actually taste good. And when you’re taking a daily supplement, that’s incredibly important. We’re all way too familiar with supplements and capsules that make us wince when we take them, so it’s refreshing to know that OLLY has a team of culinary and food science experts that explore flavors, textures, and sweetening systems to make its products something you look forward to everyday.

Now, I’m no wellness influencer, but I’ve found OLLY’s products to be a refreshing (and delicious!) way to easily take control of my health. Visit OLLY.com to learn more about how their products can help you boost your wellness routine for down-there self-confidence that will help you thrive.
