To address genital inflammation, particularly vaginitis and related issues, certain supplements have shown benefits. Here are some key options based on the research:

1. Probiotics:

   • Probiotic lactobacilli are highlighted for their ability to restore and maintain healthy vaginal flora. They produce substances like hydrogen peroxide and phenyl-lactic acid that inhibit harmful bacteria such as E. coli, S. aureus, and S. agalactiae¹².
   • Probiotic interventions have been associated with lower recurrence rates of vaginitis and higher cure/remission rates³.

2. Vitamin D:

   • Vitamin D supplementation has been explored for treating desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV), which is sometimes linked to vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency can lead to altered vaginal pH, mucous membrane fragility, and inflammation⁴.
   • It also plays a crucial role in modulating immune responses and maintaining the integrity of the vaginal epithelium⁵⁶.

Both probiotics and Vitamin D can be effective in reducing symptoms and preventing the recurrence of genital inflammation.
