Is it true that probiotic supplements reduce the rate of vaginal yeast infections in women?
Partly. One reference review reports Lactobacillus probiotic supplements reduced the incidence of vaginal infections in healthy adult women, while a 2026 pregnancy meta-analysis found no significant effect on vulvovaginal candidiasis clearance and another meta-analysis found insufficient evidence to support routine probiotic use for vaginal microbiota. No retrieved item directly measures yeast infection rates in the general population of women.
