About Prenatis™: Nurturing Life, From Mom to Baby 
Prenatis™ was evaluated in a large clinical trial involving 180 healthy women in their third trimester. Participants took 5 billion CFU daily for 12 weeks before birth and continued for 4–6 weeks postpartum, with follow-ups up to one year. Results showed fewer diagnosed infections and a trend toward reduced bacterial vaginosis. In infants, supplementation led to fewer sick days and improved gut microbiome development, especially in C-section deliveries. Exclusively breastfed babies also showed enhanced colonization of beneficial bacteria. These findings confirm Prenatis™ as a safe, effective solution for maternal health and infant microbiome support.
