Probiotics

Gut and vaginal flora, quietly doing fertility work.

What it is

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria — most commonly Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains — that support the gut microbiome and, for some strains, the vaginal microbiome.

Why it’s used

  • Supports digestive comfort, which matters when iron and prenatals are involved.
  • Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal flora is associated with better reproductive outcomes.
  • Supports immune balance during pregnancy.

What research says

  • Studies link a Lactobacillus-dominant endometrial and vaginal microbiome with higher implantation and live birth rates.
  • Reviews suggest probiotics may reduce constipation associated with prenatal iron.
  • Strain specificity matters — outcomes are not interchangeable across products.

Typical dose: 1–10 billion CFU daily of clinically studied strains.
