*Lactobacillus* bacteria help maintain a healthy vaginal flora by inhibiting pathogenic organisms, preventing and managing vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Supplementation can occur orally or vaginally.
Specific strains of *Lactobacillus* bacteria, when introduced to the vaginal environment, help maintain a healthy balance of the vaginal flora. These beneficial bacteria compete with and inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms, such as bacteria responsible for bacterial vaginosis (BV) and fungi causing yeast infections (candidiasis). By promoting a balanced vaginal microbiome, *Lactobacillus* contributes to the prevention and management of these common vaginal infections, reducing symptoms like itching, discharge, and odor. Supplementation can occur orally or vaginally. Different strains have differing levels of efficacy.
