No good evidence: Although theoretically possible, there is little evidence that taking probiotic (except perhaps when being treated with antibiotic) prevents candida infection.

Agree with Dr. C.: There is no objective evidence that probiotics provide any health benefit. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
