Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Probiotic Oral Powder

A probiotic strain isolated from breastmilk for gastrointestinal health.

As a mum, or mum to be, you understand that your gut health and microbiome influences your baby and may be impacted by factors including diet during pregnancy, medicines, birth mode and feeding choices.

Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding contains a probiotic strain, isolated from breastmilk, formulated for mums like you.

Qiara can:

• Reduce and relieve symptoms of mild mastitis
• Reduce the occurrence of mild mastitis
• Help restore good gut and breast milk flora during and after antibiotic use, important for C-section or GBS positive mums and their babies
• Improve healthy digestive system function, before, during and even after pregnancy
• Help restore the balance of good bacteria in breast milk that may have been reduced by antibiotics or other external factors
• Maintain and support gastrointestinal system health
• Help improve good bacteria growth

Who Should Take Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

• Any woman who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant
• Any woman wanting to support general good health, gastrointestinal health and microbiome support 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 transfers into breast milk which in turn may improve the infant's 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 symptoms and occurrence of mild mastitis

Seek medical advice if mastitis symptoms persist longer for longer 12 hours, or if your symptoms worsen.

Preconception

Establishing good gut health and a strong and robust microbiome is important from pre-conception. Recent research suggests a healthy gut and reproductive microbiome may be beneficial for fertility outcomes.

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

Pregnancy

Research suggests a mother’s microbiome is extremely important during pregnancy. Therefore it is important that a mother’s microbiome is strong and robust throughout all trimesters of pregnancy, during labour and birth, 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 and robust microbiome.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding continues the important transfer of beneficial bacteria that begins during labour and birth. A mother’s gut and breastmilk microbiome significantly contribute to the overall health of both mother and baby, therefore it is essential to optimise microbiome health.

Clinical Research conducted using the single probiotic strain in Qiara, Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716, shows that it may reduce or relieve symptoms of breast pain and mild mastitis and the occurrence of mild mastitis.

Qiara achieves this by outcompeting the pathogenic bacteria in breast milk that may be causing the pain or mild mastitis. 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 breastmilk flora levels.

Seek medical advice if symptoms persist longer for longer 12 hours, or if your symptoms worsen.

Doage & Preparation

• Each box of Qiara Pregnancy and Breastfeeding contains 28 single-dose sachets of oral powder.
• Each sachet contains no less than 39mg/3 billion organisms of Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716
• The recommended dose is 1 sachet per day, simply mix into water, juice, a smoothie, soft food or even sprinkle on your cereal and consume immediately. Qiara is almost tasteless, so its easy to take, even during pregnancy.
• If experiencing breast pain, mild mastitis or are taking prescribed antibiotics, it is recommended you take two sachets per day, 2-3 hours before or after the antibiotic dose. Continue taking this dosage for one week after completing the antibiotic course, then go back to the regular dosage.

Seek medical advice if mastitis symptoms persist longer for longer 12 hours, or if your symptoms worsen.

What makes Qiara Probiotics Different?

Isolated from breastmilk

Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 is a probiotic isolated from breast milk which:

• Has a history of safe prolonged intake by newborns and infants.
• Is uniquely adapted to reside both in the human digestive tract and in human breast milk and to interact with the human baby.
• Has been clinically shown to pass into breast milk when taken orally by the mother.

It is safe for both mother and baby and may play a critical role in preventing local infection in breast tissue and establishing a healthy microbiome in the infant.

Single strain vs multi strain probiotic

It is important to select the right probiotic strain researched for and suited to your needs.

Many probiotic companies provide broad spectrum probiotics containing multiple strains in a single dose. However, clinical trials for probiotics are usually conducted with a single strain rather than with multiple strains, and it is unclear how multiple strains in a single dose may interact with or inhibit each other.

Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding contains 3 billion microorganisms of Lactobacillus Fermentum CECT 5716, the same dosage of exactly the same single strain used in clinical trials.
