Researchers at Kyung Hee University in South Korea examined the effects of probiotics Gardnerella vaginalis (GV)-induced vaginosis and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in female mice. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that probiotics present in fermented foods like kimchi can simultaneously alleviate BV and osteoporosis by regulating gut microbial composition.
