Aloe vera and biofilms – what the evidence shows
Aloe vera shows real antibiofilm activity in the lab, but mostly at preventing biofilms, not destroying established ones. Here is what the evidence says.
Why vaginal microbiota transplants aren’t working yet
A randomised trial shows vaginal microbiota transplants don't beat placebo without antibiotic prep, though antiseptic pretreatment hints at a fix.
What is the estrobolome?
The estrobolome is the set of gut bacteria that control how much oestrogen circulates – and it shapes your periods, fertility and vaginal health.
Enterococcus faecalis in the vagina: probiotics & treatment
How Lactobacillus crispatus and other probiotics kill E. faecalis and disrupt its biofilms – and what that means for treating aerobic vaginitis.
Boric acid: can it really disrupt BV biofilms?
Learn if boric acid can impact BV-related biofilms, and what better options are availble.
Aunt Vadge: How do oral biofilm enzymes get to the vagina?
Ever wondered how an enzyme taken by mouth can impact vaginal biofilms? Aunt Vadge explains!
Bacterial biofilms: what is extraceullar DNA? (EDNA)
How bacteria build their fortresses: the secrets of extracellular DNA and how they are used to make biofilms/
The microbiome of the penis, semen and male reproductive tract
The penile microbiome is being examined for its role in fertility, infections and interactions with the vaginal microbiome.
Impact of Cinnamomum on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms
Cinnamomum, one of the active constituents of cinnamon, has strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa.
The neovaginal microbiome
Recent studies have begun to shed light on the neovaginal microbiome, revealing a fascinating interplay between penile, intestinal, and hormonal influences.
The science behind cinnamon’s significant biofilm activity
Cinnamon is a potent therapeutic agent in combating bacterial and fungal biofilm-associated infections.
Impact of Cinnamomum on Staphylococcus aureus biofilms
Staph biofilms are susceptible to some of the active constituents in cinnamon, making Cinnamomum a possible treatment avenue for resistant infections.
What is FUT2 and how does it affect my vagina?
FUT2 mutations disrupt microbiome health, increasing vulnerability to infections, gut issues, and nutrient deficiencies.
Impact of Cinnamomum on Candida spp.
Cinnamon extracts are showing enormous promise as an antibiofilm agent against Candida species.

Get accurate testing based on your needs via thorough vaginal and urinary microbiome testing.
Understanding vaginal pH
We explain vaginal pH and how it relates to your vaginal smells. If you have a funny smell coming out of your vagina and need to test your vaginal pH, we explain how.
Microbes that gentian violet is effective (and ineffective) against
Look over the list of bacteria that gentian violet will be effective against to make sure your bacterial vaginosis bacteria is on the list. If it's not, you'll need to check the support section for the comparison chart of treatment options.
What is a facultative anaerobe? How bacteria ‘breathes’ (or not)
We briefly discuss what makes a vaginal bacteria able to survive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-deprived environments, with bacterial vaginosis and aerobic vaginitis bugs as our examples.
Using InterFase Plus – penis (Killing BV)
We explain how to use InterFase or InterFase Plus as a penis treatment for BV-related biofilms in men, with clear instructions for dosage and application.
Understanding E. coli biofilms in recurrent UTIs
We look into E. coli's biofilms in a bit more detail, explaining exactly why biofilms contribute to recurrent urinary tract infections and other vaginal infections.
