Lactobacillus salivarius is a probiotic bacteria that is known to have anti-Gardnerella vaginalis effects, which means it could help protect against bacterial vaginosis. Lactobacillus salivarius may also have anti-Candida albicans effects.
Lactobacillus salivarius can be a solid contributor to a healthy vaginal ecosystem, helping to reduce inflammation and eradicate pathogens.
