It’s about time. We’re centuries overdue for a revolution in vaginal care. Today, one giant leap: VS-01™, our first innovation targeting the vaginal microbiome, is officially here. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gDPAuDuu Eight years ago, we began our journey with Dr. Jacques Ravel to transform his groundbreaking vaginal microbiome research into real-world applications. While more than two-thirds of women1 in the U.S. reported experiencing vaginal discomfort in the past year, most available products target only the symptoms in ways that further disrupt the vaginal microbiome. Driven by the unmet needs and data gaps in women’s health, we’ve leveraged nearly two decades of Dr. Ravel’s research to create VS-01™—the first vaginal synbiotic clinically validated to rapidly establish an optimal vaginal microbiome dominated by L. crispatus, the vagina’s most protective bacteria. VS-01™ represents a new era in vaginal care, transcending a legacy of harsh, reactive solutions and ushering in a sustainable approach that addresses the source, not just the symptoms. The launch of VS-01™ reflects the very essence of why we founded Seed: to translate pioneering microbiome discoveries into life-changing health innovations. It is especially meaningful to accelerate these advancements in vaginal health, an area that has been so deprioritized and systemically overlooked. The vaginal microbiome is the next frontier in women’s health, and VS-01™ embodies its vast potential. Our commitment to education also means this is more than just a product launch—it is a call to awareness and action, an opportunity to offer the vaginal microbiome as a new lens for understanding and empowerment. Know that your work and dedication to steward this narrative will have a lasting impact, far beyond what we can imagine today. To Dr. Jacques Ravel, whose life's work prioritized vaginal health when science and medicine did not, and to the devoted members of this ecosystem who've worked tirelessly to bring VS-01™ into the world: thank you. Today is a day we’ve been working towards since the inception of Seed, and we could not be more grateful to celebrate such a pivotal moment with this team. Your exemplary curiosity, thoughtfulness, and resilience have brought VS-01™ to life.
Love this! I was a labor and delivery nurse for many years. Understanding the beautiful perfection of the microbiome through vaginal deliveries, what and how transfer to the baby occurs, what it means for the infants health-our bodies are AMAZING!!! Congratulations!!!
Epic video. Great start. Great words. However what about the microbiology? Is it epic too? Are there any studies? What bacteria contains the capsule? Would love to know more facts. Thank you. Ara Katz
