Pregnancy

Gut and immune support during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy brings many changes, including shifts in digestion, immunity and nutritional needs. Supporting microbiome balance is helpful for both mum and baby as your body adapts to the changes required to optimally support both you and your baby's growing bodies and nutritional requirements.

ProVen Biotics pregnancy and breastfeeding formulations are designed to be safe, effective and easy to take throughout pregnancy and beyond. They include two options - one for all-round nutritional support and one focused live bacteria product.

Support your wellbeing throughout every stage of pregnancy with our specialist supplements. Designed for expectant and new mums, through all stages of pregnancy and breastfeeding, ProVen Biotics pregnancy products combine our research-backed live bacteria with key nutrients for pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these products safe to take during all stages of pregnancy?

Yes, they are developed for use from pre-conception, throughout pregnancy, and through postnatal care and breastfeeding. The Lab4B live bacteria blend used in our pregnancy products has been researched with pregnant mums and newborn babies and shown to be safe.

Always consult your health practitioner before starting any supplement.

Can ProVen Biotics pregnancy products help with digestion during pregnancy?

Yes. Many women experience digestive changes (such as bloating, gas, and constipation) during pregnancy and the ProVen Biotics Pregnancy products both contain 10 billion research-backed live bacteria and key nutrients that support digestion.

My midwife has suggested I take 'probiotics'. Can I take them while I'm pregnant?

Yes. Probiotics is just another name for live or friendly bacteria, which are found in our ProVen Biotics products. We have trillions of these bacteria in and on our body and our gut microbiome plays a key role in supporting our health. We recommend supporting your microbiome during before, during, and after pregnancy.

Why do you have two different products for pregnancy?

One of our products, For Pregnancy, is designed a simple high-strength friendly bacteria product that can be taken alongside other pregnancy multi-nutrients.

Our other For Pregnancy Plus product has been developed to provide complete support for pregnancy, with all the vitamins and minerals at the doses recommended for pregnancy and omega-3 fish oils to support foetal development, along with 10 billion of our research-backed Lab4B friendly bacteria.

Our Lab4B live bacteria blend is research-backed and has been used in a large study with 454 mother-baby pairs.

What makes the ProVen Biotics pregnancy products different to other brands?

Our pregnancy products contain our own research-backed live bacteria blend known as Lab4B, which contains four strains of live bacteria - two Lactobacillus and two Bifidobacteria strains. These two species of bacteria are the most studied and our four strains have been isolated from humans and extensively researched together as a group both during pregnancy and in babies from birth.
