Lactic acid bacteria inhibit Candida albicansInhibiting pathogenicity of vaginal Candida albicans by lactic acid bacteria and MS analysis of their extracellular compounds.
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.

This product works wonders - a must when on antibiotics. All I can say is that it saved my behind, and I mean that literally. Last year, I ended up on antibiotics twice for over a month each time. The first time, I suffered during and for a couple of months after the course of Septra DS. My bowels felt awful and a yeast infection was taking its toll. I needed medication to resolve it. The second time I took Septra, I knew I needed three of these every day alongside a weaker option. It was like night and day. I had no issues whatsoever - no burning or pain, just regularity. Whenever my digestive tract isn't right, I take this again. It's a wonder pill, and I swear by it!
