New clinical trial results reveal that the probiotic strain Lactobacillus gasseri KABP 064 (CECT 30648), developed by AB-Biotics and Kaneka Probiotics, may colonize the vaginal tract and support microbiota balance following oral administration. Secondary findings revealed a reduction in non-lactobacilli genera and a shift toward Lactobacilli-dominated “vaginotypes” in the probiotic group.According to the researchers, these changes were not observed in the placebo group. Although all participants were healthy and asymptomatic, some had baseline microbiota compositions associated with increased risk of imbalance. The findings suggest the strain may support the restoration and maintenance of a stable vaginal microbiome.“A healthy vaginal ecosystem…
