Probiotics: Studies of Lactobacillus preparations for UTIs have had mixed results. Evidence suggests a combination of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and L. fermentum RC-14 may reduce potentially harmful vaginal bacteria and yeast in healthy women. Other studies have found no benefit for women or pre-term infants. More studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of probiotics in urinary and urogenital tract infections.Probiotics are generally considered safe and well-tolerated. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to probiotics. Use cautiously if lactose-intolerant.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
