Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3
Lactobacillus species, as probiotics, have been studied for their role in supporting the reproductive system, particularly vaginal and urinary tract health in women. The scientific rationale is primarily based on their ability to colonize the vaginal mucosa, outcompete pathogenic bacteria, and maintain an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of pathogens such as Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida species. Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have shown that oral or intravaginal administration of certain strains (e.g., L. rhamnosus, L. reuteri, L. crispatus) can reduce the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, the magnitude of benefit varies between studies, and not all strains or formulations are equally effective.
Evidence for broader reproductive system benefits—such as fertility enhancement or support during pregnancy—is less robust, with only preliminary findings. Most clinical research focuses on women’s vaginal health, with much less evidence for effects in men or for systemic reproductive health. Overall, the use of mixed Lactobacillus strains to support the reproductive system is backed by moderate-quality scientific evidence, particularly for supporting healthy vaginal microbiota and reducing the risk of BV and related infections.
