Can pregnant women use probiotics?

Yes, probiotics are generally safe and beneficial for pregnant women. They can contribute to a healthy pregnancy in several ways:

Probiotics help keep the gut microbiome balanced, enhancing digestion and preventing problems such as bloating and constipation.

They may help reduce symptoms like acid reflux, morning sickness, and diarrhea by supporting a healthy digestive system.

Probiotics can help prevent common pregnancy infections like bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

A well-balanced gut microbiome can strengthen immunity, offering protection to both mother and baby against infections.

A healthy maternal microbiome can promote the development of the baby’s gut health and immune system.
