FAQ

Good Kin uses a unique "Seed & Feed" approach - we don't just add bacteria, we give them what they need to survive and multiply. Our formula includes:

• Vaginal-specific strains (including L. crispatus, the gold standard strain found in 60-70% of healthy vaginas)
• Targeted prebiotics (XOS) that feed beneficial bacteria without feeding yeast
• Lactoferrin to support your natural defenses
• Vitamin D3 for immune function

Most probiotics contain gut strains that don't colonize the vagina, or they add bacteria without the food (prebiotics) they need to survive, which is why you may not have seen results before.

Good Kin is specifically formulated for vaginal health with strains that naturally live in a healthy vagina. Regular probiotics contain gut strains (like L. acidophilus) that aren't designed to colonize vaginal tissue. Think of it this way: you wouldn't use a skin cream to treat a stomach issue - different areas need different solutions.

Most women notice improvements within 2-4 weeks, though some see changes in as little as a few days. For long-term colonization and lasting results, we recommend taking Good Kin consistently for 8-12 weeks. Remember, you're rebuilding your vaginal microbiome, not just masking symptoms - real change takes a bit of time.

Yes! Good Kin actually works beautifully alongside vaginal estrogen or HRT. Estrogen helps produce the glycogen that feeds beneficial bacteria, while Good Kin provides the bacteria themselves plus the prebiotics they need. Together, they address the hormone-microbiome connection from both angles. Always check with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.

This is one of the most common concerns - and we've specifically addressed it. Good Kin uses XOS (xylooligosaccharides), a precision prebiotic that selectively feeds Lactobacillus strains without feeding Candida (yeast). It's like giving your good bacteria a key to the pantry that yeast can't use. Not all prebiotics are selective, which is why we chose this specific one.

Yes - because it addresses the root cause of all three. When your vaginal pH is balanced (acidic, around 3.5-4.5) through healthy Lactobacillus dominance:

• BV-causing bacteria can't thrive
• Candida (yeast) is kept in check
• Odor-causing bacteria are naturally suppressed

Good Kin restores the protective bacterial environment that prevents these issues from recurring.

Research shows that specific vaginal Lactobacillus strains (particularly L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri) travel from your gut to your vagina after oral consumption - it's actually how your vaginal microbiome naturally populates. Oral capsules are:

• More convenient (take with your morning vitamins)
• Less messy (no discharge or planning around intimacy)
• Equally effective for colonization
• Better for overall gut health as a bonus

Not necessarily. Once your microbiome is rebalanced (typically 8-12 weeks), many women maintain their results with occasional use or cycles (like during times of stress, after antibiotics, or around hormonal changes). However, if your estrogen levels remain low (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause), ongoing support may help maintain balance. Think of it like a daily vitamin - supporting your body's needs.

Take 2 capsules daily with water, ideally at the same time each day (many women find mornings easiest). You can take it with or without food. Consistency is key for building and maintaining healthy bacterial colonies.

Good Kin is generally safe to take alongside most medications and supplements. However, if you're on antibiotics, we recommend waiting until you've finished your course, then starting Good Kin to help rebuild what antibiotics destroyed. If you're on immunosuppressive medications or have specific health concerns, please check with your healthcare provider.

While the strains in Good Kin are generally considered safe, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Every pregnancy is unique, and your doctor knows your specific situation best.

We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee because we know results take time and every body is different. If you don't see improvements after giving it a full try, we'll refund you - no hassle. We just ask that you take it consistently for at least 4-6 weeks to give your microbiome time to shift.
