Friendly bacteria vs. vaginal infections: a new trial puts probiotics to the test
NCT ID NCT06665126
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This virtual trial tests whether a daily prebiotic and probiotic supplement can relieve symptoms of bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections, such as itching, odor, and abnormal discharge. Women aged 25 and older with these concerns will take two capsules daily for 30 days. The study will compare the supplement against placebos and measure changes in the vaginal microbiome and symptom reports.
