Probiotics are live bacteria that offer various health benefits. We often associate them with gut health, but they’re just as important for vaginal health. Here’s how probiotics can support your intimate well-being:
Restoring balance: Probiotic supplements can help replenish good bacteria after they’ve been depleted by hormonal imbalance, antibiotics and other factors.
Maintaining healthy pH: By promoting the growth of good bacteria that produce lactic acid, probiotics can help maintain a healthy acidic environment in the vagina.
Alleviating symptoms: Several probiotic strains (L.Acidophilus, L.Gasseri, L.Fermentum) have shown promise in preventing and alleviating symptoms like dryness, itching, and recurrent yeast infections and BV.
