Is it safe to take HLC Probiotics by Pharmax during pregnancy?

Q. Is it safe to take HLC Probiotics by Pharmax during pregnancy?

A. HLC High Potency probiotic caps by Pharmax are very safe to take during pregnancy. In fact, it is highly recommended to take them since the probiotics will help your wife replenish the good flora in her intestinal track strengthening not only her GI but her immune system, in turn allowing a healthier pregnancy.

In addition, it is very important to keep a good balance of healthy flora in the mother’s vaginal track so that during delivery, the baby is not exposed to yeast overgrowth (leading to Thrush and other yeast related conditions common in infants). Newborns are not prepared to fight against yeast their first few months of life. Furthermore, it is hugely beneficial that a mother continue to take HLC probiotics during breastfeeding since this will transfer the good bacteria to the infant providing him/her with powerful immunity against allergies and skin conditions.

A 5 year scientific study will be published in the next year showing that newborns given a probiotic supplement the first 6 months of life have significantly less health problems including allergies and skin conditions, than those who do not.

Pharmax LLC makes a supplement specifically for newborns – HLC Neonate – which comes in a powder form.
