How do probiotics affect pH balance?Updated 25 days ago

Probiotics help support healthy pH balance by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria that naturally produce mild acids in the body. These acids—such as lactic acid—help create an environment that is more difficult for harmful bacteria and yeast to thrive in.

In the gut, probiotic strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium help maintain a slightly acidic environment that supports healthy digestion, regularity, and balanced microbial activity.

In the vaginal and urinary tract, certain probiotic strains (especially Lactobacillus) naturally produce lactic acid, which helps lower the pH to a level that supports a healthy microbiome. This balanced pH helps discourage the growth of unwanted bacteria and supports overall vaginal and urinary wellness.

By reinforcing the body’s population of beneficial microbes, probiotics help maintain the natural pH ranges that keep your digestive, urinary, and vaginal systems healthy and balanced.
