Can help your oral health

Due to hormonal changes and increased blood volume during pregnancy, you can more easily develop infections in the mouth and are more prone to gingivitis. Natural lactic acid bacteria supplements can help improve your oral health and prevent inflammation.

So, how can you improve gut health?

It’s important to nourish your own microbiota during pregnancy, so you can transfer healthy bacteria to your baby. Just like folic acid and DHA supplements, taking a prenatal probiotic like Protectic MUM from BioGaia can promote baby’s healthy development. While prenatal probiotics are beneficial during any phase of pregnancy, they are especially important to take throughout your third trimester.
