Customer reviews

• I've been taking For Pregnancy since I found out I was pregnant and I'm now nearly 23 weeks. I have found it's really helped support many symptoms that come with pregnancy, from digestion to vaginal health and more. It's so good knowing that I'm taking something that is keeping me healthy that will in turn keep my little one healthy. They are so easy to take and I definitely recommend to all mums to be!

• I usually get bad indigestion when pregnant and have to take lots of Gaviscon. Pregnancy usually leads to a slow digestive system which can result in constipation. I found taking Optibac Pregnancy during this my fourth pregnancy meant I was regular and had far less bloating and indigestion. It really helped me through my pregnancy and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is having a baby. I found it to be brilliant and will be telling all my friends to take it when pregnant. I have also recommended it to my midwife.

• I have taken Optibac probiotics on and off for many years, and when my tummy became particularly unsettled early in my pregnancy, I started taking these. My symptoms included bloating, and erratic and frequent bowel motions, when I am usually very regular. After taking these just for 2-3 days, these symptoms improved significantly, and I felt much better in myself. I could rest better at night, and thus felt more energetic during the day. I would highly recommend taking these during pregnancy, or indeed, another Optibac product.
