It's seriously the only thing that worked for me that prevents and treats. I did the gel and perscription drugs, apple cider vinegar, tee tree oil....everything  and probiotics are the only thing that worked. My doctor never mentioned it to me...My mom told be to start taking them. Go figure....I just want everyone who is struggling with this....bc I did for so many years...To start taking PROBIOTICS....the end.

    I totally agree! Taking acidophilus for almost a year and I've been BV free since I started....it changed my life, feels so good to be normal again.

      They are pills - just like vitamins and you can buy them at any vitamin/drug/health store on online. Take them every day or every other day. You can easily incorporate them into your daily vitamin routine.
