Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding is a probiotic specifically designed for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers and their babies. It contains a strain of probiotic called Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716, which was originally found in breast milk. Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding has been shown to help restore the balance of good bacteria in our digestive system, as well as pass into your breast milk.
 
The benefits of Qiara for mums and babies
Clinical trials have shown that Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding can help women and their babies to:
Maintain a healthy microflora, important before, during and after pregnancy
Restore the 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 mastitis
Reduce the recurrence of mastitis, particularly after a course of antibiotics
Relieve the symptoms of diarrhoea and constipation
Improve general digestive and gut health
 
Dosage and preparation
Each pack of Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding contains 28 single-dose sachets of oral powder.
Each sachet contains 39 mg/3 billion organisms of Lactobacillus fermentum.
The recommended dose is 1 sachet per day. Up to two sachets can be taken per day.
If taking prescribed antibiotics, it’s recommended you take 2 sachets per day, 2–3 hours before or after the antibiotic dose. Continue taking this dosage until one week after completing the antibiotic course, then go back to the regular dosage.
Mix Qiara with water, milk, or a soft food such as yoghurt or a smoothie, and consume straight away. Qiara is almost tasteless, so it’s easy to take, even during pregnancy.
