Probiotics are your good bacteria and are found in high amounts in the intestinal tract. Supplementing with probiotics during pregnancy has been shown to promote healthy bowel movements, improve nutrient absorption, boost the immune system, and reduce the chance of eczema and allergies in their offspring. Healthy intestinal bacteria are just as important to infants as to adults. Modern living may inhibit gut flora balance post birth. Thus the acquisition of a beneficial flora potential in the newborn can be significantly enhanced if the mother also takes a probiotic during pregnancy. Additionally, probiotics will help support the intestinal function of the mother during the pregnancy period.
