      The article provides information on the probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14. Based on the article, the strains are the world's most documented for women's health. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 was originally isolated from the distal urethra of a healthy woman, while Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 was originally isolated from the vagina of a healthy woman. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 has been shown to adhere to cells in the bladder, vagina and intestine.
