Women’s health
Our mission: Empowering every woman to break free from intimate health constraints for uncompromised well-being.
Biocodex, a French family-owned pharmaceutical laboratory with over 70 years of expertise, is today a major international leader in the field of microbiota. Building on our expertise in intestinal microbiota, we have developed a comprehensive approach including microbiota specific to women’s intimate health (vulvar, vaginal, urinary and perianal).
Our Commitments to Women’s Health
We are committed to supporting women daily and at every stage of their lives. Our action is reflected through:
- Effective and tailored solutions for their health, comfort and wellbeing.
- Recognised scientific expertise, resulting from close collaboration with gynaecologists, midwives, dermatologists, pharmacists and researchers.
- Continuous innovation driven by our teams and an ecosystem of experts.
- Facilitated access to information to break taboos and raise awareness about intimate health.
- A societal and sustainable commitment, combining inclusion, environmental responsibility and support for women in research.
Our Scientific Expertise
With more than 70 years of expertise, we work alongside a network of specialists to drive research in intimate health and the vaginal microbiota. Our teams explore the connections between female microbiota and key issues such as hydration, intimate dryness and intimate wellbeing, whilst investigating possible interactions with conditions such as endometriosis or fertility.
Innovation is at the heart of our commitment, through our microbiota research, our scientific collaborations and the Biocodex Foundation, which supports research projects led by women in life sciences and health.
Pioneers in vaginal microbiota study, we have developed and patented the Lactobacillus crispatus strain, which helps restore vaginal microbiota balance and improve women’sintimate health.

Education and Awareness to Break Taboos
Access to clear and reliable information is essential to better understand and prevent intimate microbiota imbalances and improve women’s wellbeing. We provide educational and scientific resources tailored to the needs of women and healthcare professionals.
Through various initiatives, we facilitate information transmission for the general public and healthcare professionals:
- Informing the public → Through accessible educational resources, such as the Saforelle blog and Biocodex Microbiota Institute, which popularise scientific knowledge about intimate health.
- Training healthcare professionals → With dedicated tools, such as Biocodex Pro and specialised training offered via Xpeer Business Solutions, we strengthen medical knowledge transmission.
- Encouraging dialogue → By facilitating exchanges between experts (gynaecologists, midwives, researchers), we contribute to better management of women’s conditions.
