Yet, there are other areas of the body that require a delicate balance of microbes such as the skin, lungs and genitourinary tract. The vagina contains its own unique microbiome with a plethora of lactobacilli species to secrete lactic acid and promote an acidic environment. This environment prevents the growth of unwanted bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms, ultimately reducing the risk of infections and inflammatory conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most common concerns involving an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina are urinary tract infections (UTI’s), bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Although each condition is distinct and unique, they can have overlapping signs and symptoms such as vaginal discharge, itching, burning and pain (either with urination or intercourse). Each of these conditions can be chronic and recurring. Most importantly, all 3 of these conditions can negatively impact quality of life and effective alternative solutions to antibiotic therapy are in high demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the role of probiotics is well established for the health of the gastrointestinal tract, we are more recently realizing the health benefits and excellent safety record in the area of vaginal health. Multiple studies have now been completed to show that adjunctive probiotic use with antibiotics can improve BV symptoms (such as odour and discharge), vaginal pH and eradication success rates for BV. Moreover, probiotic therapy has demonstrated a much higher rate of normalised vaginal microbiota when compared to controls receiving only antibiotics for BV treatment. Similarly, a plethora of in vitro data and animal studies suggest that targeted probiotic strains are effective at preventing the growth of Candida albicans and, therefore, the incidence and recurrence of VVC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne particular blend of\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus\u003c\/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;La-14 and\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eLacticaseibacillus rhamnosu\u003c\/em\u003es HN001 has been studied in conjunction with lactoferrin in women with abnormal vaginal microbiota.

A separate study examined this same probiotic and lactoferrin blend in 48 women with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). These results showed that after 3 months, vaginal discharge and itching were significantly improved and the recurrence rate was significantly reduced in the participants taking the probiotic-lactoferrin combination in comparison to that of the placebo.
