Q: Are there any targeted probiotics for urinary tract, bacterial, and yeast infections?
A: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14 probiotics (UltraFlora Women’s by Metagenics) have been shown in numerous studies to reduce the number of urogenital pathogenic bacteria and yeast on vaginal surfaces for feminine health. It works by rebalancing the vaginal flora. 80% of women experienced a health benefit after taking it and 40%noticed benefits within 3 to 4 weeks.
Of the women who experienced a urinary tract and vaginal healthbenefit, 88%continued taking it for 120 days ormore. So, if you suffer from chronic urogenital infections, this would be a good probiotic to consider trying.
