Based on 27 Researches

Gupta V, Mastromarino P, Garg R. Effectiveness of Prophylactic Oral and/or Vaginal Probiotic Supplementation in the Prevention of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. Clin Infect Dis. 2024;78:1154. doi:10.1093/cid/ciad766

We evaluated how probiotics could help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in premenopausal women. In our study, 174 women were randomly assigned to different treatment groups, including a placebo and various probiotic combinations over four months. After tracking symptoms for a year, we found that using vaginal probiotics, alone or combined with oral ones, effectively reduced episodes of symptomatic UTIs. This suggests probiotics may be a promising non-antibiotic approach to managing recurrent UTIs.

Kicked a chronic yeast infection! Instead of trying to murder your yeast with antifungals, why not just send it packing with probiotics? I had a stubborn infection for almost four months. My doctor kept asking if I was stressed and wanted to prescribe 7 months of Gynazole-1. I had tried a long list of treatments, including over-the-counter yeast creams and prescription options like Diflucan. Nothing worked. I wish I had known about Femdophilus from the start; it contains the right probiotic strains for vaginal balance. I’ve taken it orally and inserted it vaginally with great success. The relief was almost immediate, and I plan to keep taking it long term. I’ve also discovered another probiotic that can help colonise my gut. I can't wait to try it, as my immunity has improved, and I haven’t been ill even when others around me were.

The capsules are small and easy to take – truly a lifesaver. I have suffered from yeast and bacterial infections for six years with nothing working. After enduring frequent trips to the doctor's for antibiotics, I tried a probiotic recommended by a P.A. Despite my scepticism, this product has completely eradicated my infections. I take one capsule daily and, even if I occasionally forget, it remains effective. It has been nearly a year without infections, and I always keep a spare bottle on hand. They are worth their weight in gold!

Based on 9 Researches

Lactobacillus gasseri prevents AF

We explored how the gut microbiota influences atrial fibrillation (AF) caused by the cancer drug ibrutinib. Using advanced techniques like gene sequencing and microbiota transplantation, we identified that ibrutinib decreases the Lactobacillus gasseri levels, which raises AF risk in rats.

Remarkably, when we supplemented with L. gasseri or its byproduct, butyrate, we found it effectively prevented AF linked to ibrutinib. This study suggests targeting gut microbes could be a promising strategy to manage drug-related heart issues.

Das S, Konwar BK. Inhibiting pathogenicity of vaginal Candida albicans by lactic acid bacteria and MS analysis of their extracellular compounds. APMIS. 2024;132:161. doi:10.1111/apm.13365

We explored how lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can combat the harmful effects of Candida albicans, the fungus responsible for yeast infections. Through our study, we found that the supernatant from LAB like Lactobacillus crispatus and L. gasseri effectively inhibited the growth and harmful activity of C. albicans.

Specifically, L. gasseri showed exceptional ability in preventing the formation of biofilms and hyphae, crucial stages in fungal development. Additionally, the metabolites produced by these bacteria downregulated key genes associated with C. albicans, reinforcing their role in maintaining vaginal health.

Overall, while the findings are promising, further research is needed to confirm the clinical effectiveness of these metabolites in treating or preventing yeast infections.

We investigated whether Lactobacillus Rhamnosis GG could help reduce disability and pain in patients with chronic low back pain over a year.

In a rigorous 100-day trial with 89 participants, half received the probiotic while the others got a placebo.

Unfortunately, we found no significant changes in pain or disability between the groups by the end of the year. While there was a slight reduction in pain ratings, it was minimal and likely not impactful.

The good news? The treatment posed no side effects compared to the placebo.

I can confidently recommend this product for vaginal health. It effectively alleviated burning sensations and normalised secretions. Continued use of the intensive course followed by a rest period yields the best results. If I experience discomfort, one or two pills quickly return my situation to normal.

In our investigation, we looked into whether Lactobacillus acidophilus can ease the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Rats were subjected to a swimming test to induce fatigue, which helped us measure their behavior.

We found that treatment with both free Lactobacillus and specially formulated beads reduced signs of fatigue and improved overall biochemical markers associated with CFS. This suggests that Lactobacillus could be a promising treatment option for CFS when delivered in the right way.

At first, the thrush tormented me - the boulardi mosquitoes helped, and I was in paradise for nearly a year. However, after another stressful event and a thorough 30-day course from my doctor, the discomfort passed. My lower abdomen stopped hurting, and there are no secretions or odours. My skin looks even, and I’ve been enjoying life thrush-free for three months. I fear it might return, so I ordered a second can. I sleep better now too. I’m very pleased there are solutions that don’t cause harm. The capsules are small and easy to swallow, so I couldn't resist purchasing a third can during the discounts for future use.
