Q: Will I become dependent on probiotics?

A: No. First, probiotics are an inherent part of the human microbiota, not an external supplement. Second, they are independent organisms, not substances secreted by the body. After colonizing within the digestive tract, they act on their own and help to regulate various body functions. Therefore, taking probiotics will not cause any dependence.

Q: Can probiotics be taken long-term?

A: It depends on the products. Prolonged use of single-strain products is not recommended, as it may disrupt gut balance. Monpellerin;s products contain 15-20 strains. Long-term intake replenishes diverse microbes, helping to maintain a balanced gut microbiome, so it can be taken for a long-term.

Q: Can pregnant women take Monpellerin products? Will it affect the fetus?

A: Yes, it's safe for pregnance women. Probiotics intake during pregnancy may help to reduce the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, fetal abnormalities, and premature rupture of membranes. They can also improve nutrient absorption and alleviate morning sickness and constipation. Instead of affecting the fetus negatively, probiotics can help shape the newborn's gut microbiome by promoting the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus within the gut, and reduce the risk of eczema and allergies after being birthed.
