Hi everyone, I've tried NBE for as long as I can remember. Now I am taking PM, goats rue, l arginine & a multivitamin. I don't take these everyday, but usually take each at least 4 times a week.

Recently I have been having way more bacterial vaginosis infection lately, leading to a fishy smell. I remedied that with a product called femdophilus (a mixture of 2 probiotics and FOS). I took it internally and sometimes emptied the capsules into my vagina.

Now, I don't have the fishy smell, but it does smell different... and not that great. It's not an overpoweringly bad smell, but my boyfriend doesn't like it compared to how I used to smell before all the recent vagina problems lol.

Have any of you ladies experienced any of these supplements making you smell different? BTW I've been pregnant 4 times and have had BV during a pregnancy before, but never this particular smell I have right now. I mention that because I'm guessing hormone changes can change the smell too...

Or would it be the probiotics (L Rhamnosus & L Reuteri) plus FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) going into my vagina that messes it up?

Hi leeannel,

It's the metabolites of the L-arginine. That smell takes a little getting used to.

Thanks Isabelle! You're always so helpful

Now that you mention it, I recall reading reviews of loose L Arginine on Iherb.com and people complaining about how bad it tastes and smells
