We set out to explore how lactobacillus acidophilus, specifically strain B-2178, impacts vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in female rats. By dividing our study subjects into five groups, we included controls and examined the effects of different treatments.

In particular, we analyzed the immune response of the vaginal tissue after intravaginal inoculation to establish VVC. The rats treated with strain B-2178 showed a promising ability to maintain an immune-tolerant state in the vaginal epithelium. Through this action, it seemed capable of reducing uncontrolled inflammation, which is often a challenge during candidiasis.

Although our findings suggest that B-2178 may be beneficial in treating VVC, it's important to note that the overall focus was broader and did not isolate lactobacillus acidophilus alone. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the specific advantages of this particular strain compared to others.

Ultimately, it appears that while B-2178 exhibits potential, more targeted research is required to evaluate its effectiveness in isolating and addressing candidiasis comprehensively.

As someone with Crohn's disease, this probiotic greatly helps maintain my intestinal microbiota. My girlfriend had recurrent candidiasis, but since using this probiotic, she has had no further episodes. The formula is diverse, reasonably priced, and the number of capsules is generous.

Cured candidiasis
27 people found this helpful
I repeatedly purchase this product! I have heard that acidophilus is effective against candidiasis, and many reviews confirm this. I had esophageal candidiasis, yet after trying it, the persistent candidiasis I struggled with for two years was cured. Since then, I have had no symptoms and my bowel movements have improved; my whole family now consumes it as it also contains bifidobacteria.

Thrush improvement

After purchasing this prebiotic based on reviews, I am generally satisfied. I began with a double dose but now take just two capsules before bed. The thrush has nicely retreated, and I've noticed fewer problems with gas and swelling. I'm glad the balance of intestinal bacteria has been restored.

Satisfactory result

A splendid probiotic! My whole family takes it each morning on an empty stomach, and the result is superb. My bowel movements have normalised. I'm also using it as a vaginal suppository for Candidiasis once a week, and I am satisfied as there have been no recurrences. The price is reasonable for such effectiveness.

A good probiotic that I consume during pregnancy. With my first child, I frequently suffered from thrush. This time, I was advised to take probiotics, and thankfully, I have not encountered such issues. All is well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Effective against thrush
An excellent tool! It has eradicated thrush after mere days of use. Other probiotics and medications for Candidiasis couldn't manage it. Plus, the packaging is substantial; it will last quite a long time!

Striking effect
1 people found this helpful
After multiple treatments with antibiotics, I developed a plaque film in my mouth. Despite using medications against thrush, there was no effect. However, upon taking a mixture of Acidophilus probiotics, the results were striking: after just one capsule every morning, I noticed that this film no longer formed in my mouth by the second day. Please click the heart if my review was helpful.

Improved health

After using this probiotic for a month, I’ve seen substantial improvements. As someone with lactose intolerance, this product has drastically improved my gut health. I've tried other brands without success. I purchased it at a good price for both myself and my daughter, as my gastroenterologist highly recommended it for those suffering from candidiasis.

Clear skin

After six months of taking one or two capsules with water half an hour before breakfast, my acne and thrush have disappeared! The skin inflammations that plagued me for seven years are finally gone, and this probiotic has played a crucial role in my improvement. I also incorporate coconut oil as a prebiotic.

Convenient for Candida
It's good. I purchased it to improve constipation and Candidiasis. I wasn’t sure about its effect on constipation, but my vaginal Candidiasis, which used to be frequent, has completely disappeared. It’s also convenient as it doesn’t require refrigeration.

No more candidiasis

I am in the testing phase, having started taking this to improve my candidiasis before bed on 21st October 2019. Since then, I have not had any signs of candidiasis and have also noticed a decrease in flu symptoms. I will return to share my final opinion once my trial is complete. In addition to this, I take other vitamins such as vitamin C, D, magnesium, coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin B12 and B6.

Never came back

Over the years, I've taken many probiotics, but this one suits me perfectly. Initially, my stool was unstable for the first week, but thereafter, it returned to normal. I used to experience vaginal candidiasis when I felt unwell, but since starting this probiotic, it has not recurred. I'll keep taking it as it's easy to ingest and budget-friendly.
