Our bodies have a collection of microbes that make up our microbiome, including our genes, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live on and in our body. These microbes help keep our microbiome in check and support our immune system by protecting us from invading pathogens and by helping us to produce energy from digesting the food we eat. Stress, diet, environmental toxins, aging, and medication can affect our microbiome and lessen the diversity and quantity of the microbes present.

The National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health have stated that probiotics are probably safe during pregnancy and lactation because they aren’t absorbed like other supplements. There have been no instances of birth defects or trauma related to probiotic use.

Why would you want to take something that is ‘probably safe’?
Probiotics offer many positive benefits, and are known to help with:

• Diarrhea caused by infection
• Diarrhea related to antibiotics
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Bacterial vaginosis
• Dermatitis and eczema

Pregnancy brings its own special challenges, including constipation and diarrhea.

Prebiotics are not the same as probiotics but are just as important. Prebiotics are plant fibers that aid the growth of healthy bacteria in your digestive tract. Prebiotics come from lots of fruits and vegetables and are not digestible except by the bacteria and other inhabitants of your microbiome.

Healthy Assist™ by Kirkman’s Probiotic Support, contains seven billion CFUs of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. Reuteri), and one billion each of three otherLactobacillus strains (plantarum, acidophilus and rhamnosus), which are added to aid in adherence in the gut.^†

A prebiotic fiber is also present to support the development of good gut flora by supplying a good food source for the organisms.^†

Reuteri is a probiotic strain that is known to support the immune system and dental health. Researchers have also found that L. reuteri may play a role in the gut-brain connection, however only animal studies have been done.  The gut-brain connection has been established for years and postulates that the condition of the gut and presence of certain types of gut flora affect neurodevelopmental behavior.^†
