FemiCore Ingredients: The Full List, What Each One Does, and Interactions

This page lists every ingredient in FemiCore as published on the official product pages, what each one is actually studied for, and — the part the sales page skips — which medications they can interact with. For the full verdict on the product, see our complete FemiCore review.
The full list
FemiCore’s published formula contains nine ingredients: four botanicals/compounds — cranberry extract, bearberry (uva ursi), granular berberine, and mimosa pudica — plus five probiotic strains: Lactobacillus crispatus, L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. gasseri, and L. casei. Important caveat before the details: the maker does not publish per-ingredient dosages, so the amounts of each are unknown outside the label itself.
The botanicals
Cranberry extract
The workhorse of urinary-health supplements. Its proanthocyanidins (PACs) are thought to stop bacteria adhering to the bladder wall, and clinical reviews support a modest preventive effect against recurrent urinary tract infections in women prone to them. Whether an extract works usually depends on PAC content — which FemiCore doesn’t disclose.
Bearberry (uva ursi)
A traditional herbal urinary antiseptic; its active compound arbutin converts to hydroquinone in the urinary tract. Herbal references consistently recommend it for short-term use only — typically no more than a week or so at a time — and advise against it in pregnancy and kidney disease. Its inclusion in a daily long-term formula is a genuine question mark worth raising with a pharmacist.
Berberine
A plant alkaloid with substantial research — mostly on blood sugar and cholesterol, where its effects are real enough that it’s often compared to prescription drugs. Direct bladder evidence is thin; its likely role here is antimicrobial. It is also the interaction-heavy ingredient of the formula (details below).
Mimosa pudica
The “sensitive plant,” used in traditional medicine and marketed in supplements mostly for gut claims. Evidence connecting it to bladder or urinary health is the thinnest of anything in the formula.
The five probiotic strains
L. crispatus is the flagship: it dominates a healthy vaginal and urinary microbiome, and restoring it is an active area of clinical research. L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. gasseri, and L. casei are well-known probiotic species with general gut and vaginal-health research of varying depth. The honest summary: the strain selection is sensible and research-adjacent, but probiotic effects are strain- and dose-specific, and without CFU counts (not disclosed) nobody can verify the formula delivers what the studies used.
Interactions and safety — read this part
Berberine can interact with diabetes medications (including metformin — additive blood-sugar effects), statins, blood thinners, cyclosporine, and other drugs metabolized by the same liver pathways. It is not considered safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Uva ursi is short-term-use-only by traditional references and off-limits in pregnancy and kidney disease. Concentrated cranberry can interact with warfarin. If you take any prescription medication — especially for diabetes, cholesterol, or blood clotting — show this ingredient list to your doctor or pharmacist before ordering. Five minutes of their time beats a bad interaction.
Summary: a sensible, urinary-focused ingredient list with real research behind its best components — sold without the dosage transparency that would let anyone verify it. Pricing runs $49–$79 per bottle by pack size at the time of writing, with a 60-day guarantee.
