Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding is a probiotic specifically designed for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers and their babies. Containing the patented strain of probiotic Lactobacillus Fermentum CECT5716, which was originally found in breast milk, Qiara Pregnancy and Breastfeeding has been shown to help: -

• maintain a healthy microflora, important for you and baby before, during and after pregnancy
• restore balance of good bacteria in breast milk that may have been reduced by antibiotics, or other external factors
• relieve or reduce breast pain and discomfort associated with mild mastitis while breastfeeding
• reduce the recurrence of mild mastitis
• Improve general digestive and gut health

Take Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding from preconception, in your last trimester or throughout your entire pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Who Should Take Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Probiotics?

• Any woman who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant
• To support general good health during the entire pregnancy or at least in the last trimester
• Any woman who is breastfeeding
• Qiara is a probiotic strain that was originally derived from healthy breast milk flora (not from bowel flora). It fortifies breast milk which in turn may improve the infants gut health
• Both mum and baby benefit from Qiara Pregnancy and Breastfeeding- there is no need to give a separate probiotic to the baby if mum is taking Qiara
• Any woman experiencing breast pain or symptoms of mild mastitis, Qiara may assist in reducing the discomfort

If symptoms of mastitis persist for more than 24 hours, seek medical advice.

Pregnancy

Research suggests an infant’s microbiome begins its colonisation in the womb therefore it is important that a mother’s microbiome is strong and robust during pregnancy, for delivery and during breastfeeding.

Along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, taking one sachet of Qiara Pregnancy and Breastfeeding sachet daily while pregnant may increase beneficial flora levels contributing to a healthy robust microbiome.

Preconception

Establishing good gut health and a strong and robust microbiome can have lifelong benefits for your baby.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding continues the important transfer of beneficial bacteria that begins during pregnancy. A mother’s microbiome and breast milk quality can have a significant impact on the overall health of both baby and mother, it is therefore essential to optimise microbiome health.

Clinical Research conducted using the single probiotic strain in Qiara, Lactobacillus Fermentum CECT5716, shows that it may reduce discomfort associated with breast pain and mild mastitis and the recurrence of mild mastitis. Qiara achieves this by aggressively targeting and outcompeting the pathogenic bacteria in breast milk that may be causing the pain and infection. It also helps to restore and maintain a healthy balance of protective flora in the breast milk microbiome to help prevent recurrence.

Taking one sachet of Qiara daily while breastfeeding may assist in increasing beneficial breast milk flora levels.
