L. acidophilus inhibits C. albicans
Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 inhibits biofilm formation by C. albicans and attenuates the experimental candidiasis in Galleria mellonella.
Relevant support for probiotics
We explored how Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 impacts yeast infections caused by Candida albicans. The study used both in vitro and in vivo models, with tests on biofilm formation and filamentation in lab settings and survival analysis in Galleria mellonella larvae.
Our findings revealed that L. acidophilus was effective in inhibiting C. albicans biofilm and filament formation in vitro. Additionally, the injections into infected larvae significantly improved their survival rates and reduced yeast counts compared to a control group. Overall, L. acidophilus demonstrated promising protective effects against yeast infections.

Probiotics inhibit Candida biofilm growth
Probiotic lactobacilli inhibit early stages of Candida albicans biofilm development by reducing their growth, cell adhesion, and filamentation.
Study demonstrates probiotic effectiveness
We investigated how probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus and its relatives, affect the development of Candida albicans biofilms. Our findings revealed that these probiotics notably decreased biofilm growth and altered the yeast's growth behavior.
Specifically, Lactobacillus rhamnosus effectively diminished early biofilm stages. However, it didn't significantly influence mature biofilms. Overall, the lactobacilli hindered the transition of Candida from yeast to fungal forms and reduced its ability to form biofilms.
This research highlights the potential of using probiotics as a supportive treatment for yeast infections.

Lactobacilli may reduce Candida virulence
Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, and L. reuteri Cell-Free Supernatants Inhibit Candida parapsilosis Pathogenic Potential upon Infection of Vaginal Epithelial Cells Monolayer and in a Transwell Coculture System .
Promising alternative yeast infection prevention
We examined how cell-free supernatants from lactobacilli, specifically L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, and L. reuteri, affect the virulence traits of Candida parapsilosis in the context of vulvovaginal candidiasis. Our findings indicated that these lactobacilli can reduce the growth and harmful effects of C. parapsilosis, helping to enhance the vaginal lining's resistance to infection. This suggests that incorporating these lactobacilli could be beneficial in preventing yeast infections caused by non-albicans species like C. parapsilosis, although more research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness.

Stops infections
NOW BRAND IS THE BEST. This acidophilus brand is the ONLY one that alleviates yeast infections. As someone who consumes a lot of sugar and is prone to yeast infections, I have tried every brand available. This one is truly exceptional.

Resolved stomach issues
I am so thankful for this product; I had stomach issues and yeast infections before. Now, almost a year later, I have no problems. Thank you, iHerb.

No more infections
Effective for helping to prevent my yeast infections. Before using this daily, I frequently got yeast infections. However, now I no longer experience them. Although I'm lactose intolerant, I have noticed a reduction in stomach pain after consuming lactose-containing products. Of course, proper hygiene is crucial, and I regularly use disposable pantyliners, which also helps prevent yeast infections. I highly recommend keeping this product in the fridge.

Lactobacillus improves vaginal health
Effect of ultra-low-dose estriol and lactobacilli vaginal tablets (Gynoflor®) on inflammatory and infectious markers of the vaginal ecosystem in postmenopausal women with breast cancer on aromatase inhibitors.
Study relevant to postmenopausal women
We examined how a combination of ultra-low-dose estriol and lactobacilli affects vaginal health in postmenopausal women dealing with severe atrophic vaginitis while on aromatase inhibitors. Over 28 days, 16 breast cancer survivors used Gynoflor®, improving their vaginal flora. Remarkably, the lactobacillary grades increased significantly, alongside reductions in inflammatory markers like leukocytes and parabasal cells.
Although we observed a temporary spike in Candida colonization, it quickly returned to normal levels. Overall, these findings suggest that this treatment can effectively enhance vaginal health while being safe for women facing similar challenges.

Probiotics may reduce yeast infections
Probiotic use and prevalence of candidemia and candiduria in a PICU.
New approach for infection prevention
We aimed to understand whether the use of probiotics could lower yeast infections in children receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics.
In a study comparing antibiotic-treated kids, we enrolled 344 who took probiotics and 376 who did not.
The results were promising, showing a significant drop in both bloodstream and urinary Candida infections among those taking probiotics.
This suggests that probiotics, including Bifidobacterium longum, can effectively help reduce yeast infections in these vulnerable patients.

Probiotics reduce Candida presence
Efficacy and safety of probiotics in the treatment of Candida-associated stomatitis.
Study relevance is significant
We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of probiotics for treating Candida-associated stomatitis in a controlled trial.
A total of 65 patients were assigned to receive either antifungal treatments alone or antifungals plus a probiotic mix containing Bifidobacterium longum.
While both groups showed a reduction in pain and hyperaemia, the probiotic group had a significantly lower Candida presence after treatment, highlighting a potential benefit in using probiotics along with conventional therapies.
However, changes in other oral bacteria were inconsistent, suggesting that more research is needed in this area.

No yeast problems
I’m using this as part of a Lyme protocol while on antibiotics. After one month, I have experienced no yeast problems, and my digestion is functioning well.

Effective fungal treatment
Fantastic for fungal infections. This supplement effectively combats yeast infections and aids in restoring healthy gut flora. It’s much easier than consuming yoghurt filled with preservatives and sugars.
