Starter Cultures for Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers.

On the one hand, during pregnancy it is necessary to supply a sufficient number of nutrients for the development of a baby. On the other hand, it is extremely important to exclude all unnatural ingredients from the food consumed by a pregnant woman, so that they do not harm an unborn baby. The fermented milk products are an excellent source of protein, calcium, valuable vitamins and trace elements.

It is very easy to prepare a homemade yogurt, kefir or cream yogurt with VIVO starter cultures. Such products do not only provide all the necessary nutrients, but they also support the mother’s microflora. A baby is born sterile and receives his/her first microflora from the mother through the maternal passages and breastfeeding. The digestion and immunity systems of the baby are dependent on the quality of the microflora obtained. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the mother’s microflora healthy during her pregnancy and lactation.
