Immunity is King!

As Covid takes over our lives, it is a harrowing experience for parents with young children. As a mom of 3 boys, aged 5 years, 2 years and 1 month old, their health is of utmost importance to me. 

With Momo and Pian Pian attending childcare which exposed them to higher risks of catching illness such as colds, stomach flu, HFMD, etc; and with Qiu Qiu still developing his immature immune system, I would do anything to strengthen their immunity. Since the gut contains more than 70% of the immune cells in the body, gut health is crucial for developing a strong immune system. That is why I feed them FAMIBIOTICS®, a quadrupled premium pre + probiotics supplement formulated with Lactoferrin and DHA.

Since Qiu Qiu may gain the most from FAMIBIOTICS® during his first 1000 days of life, I am actually grateful that I was introduced to it while I was pregnant with him. The term "first 1,000 days" describes a child's life from the time of conception until they turn two years old (24 months). During this period, their immune system, body, and brain all significantly develop and grow. Each day of this journey is unique and has a lasting impact on how he develops, grows and learns —not just now, but for the rest of his life!

Why is probiotics with lactoferrin important?

A baby's experiences in their first 1,000 days of life — from conception to age 2 — can have a lifelong effect on their health and wellbeing, so this is the golden window to set their foundation right! Having a healthy gut microbiome can boost immunity and overall health. 

Lactoferrin is a safe, naturally occurring iron-binding protein found highest in concentration in colostrum, the first milk made after a baby is born.

Benefits of taking probiotics and Lactoferrin during pregnancy and breastfeeding includes:

1. Probiotics helps digestion and nutrient absorption

With constipation and diarrhea being two frequently experienced common discomforts during pregnancy, the use of probiotics during pregnancy is common. Probiotics help to break down proteins, carbs and fats and converts the fiber into healthy fatty acids that nourish the cells that lines the intestinal wall. This can help reduce gas, bloating, heartburn and constipation. When the intestines are sealed (aka leaky gut syndrome) the better our bodies absorb the nutrients from the foods we consume. The more nourishment moms get, the more the baby gets, too. Probiotics also help the intestines make short-chain fatty acids, which contribute to the overall health of the body.

2. Probiotics may help to reduce depression and anxiety

Studies suggest that up to 20% of women suffer from mood or anxiety disorders during pregnancy. During the postpartum period, about 80% of women experience some type of mood disturbance. Postnatal depression (PND) often develops within the first few months after giving birth, particularly in the first five weeks. However, it can start at any time during the first year. Depression can suddenly creep up or it could even have been with you during pregnancy and did not lift after the birth of your baby. There is also many mothers who are understandably reluctant to take anti-depressants during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. We know too that maternal and postpartum depression has a tendency to be persistent, and can affect the well- being of the mother and growing fetus, and affect the ability of the afflicted mother to bond with her child.

It has been shown that children of depressed mothers are at risk of being slower intellectually and emotionally. With a natural alternative such as probiotics that are compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding, the afflicted woman can recover better, and can more successfully regain optimal functioning to prepare for the birth, and to care for her baby.

3. Probiotics helps to reduce the risk of gestational diabetes

Diabetes diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy is called gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It can lead to pregnancy complications that can affect you and your baby, such as preterm labor, macrosomia, higher risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes for your baby; high blood pressure, higher risk of having a surgical delivery and future diabetes for you. It’s also linked to problems in older children, like being categorized as obese. A study of over 250 pregnant women found that probiotics lowered the chance of developing GDM.

Probiotic supplements may help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels in pregnancy, which could improve health and lower the risk of complications. 2017 study suggested that treatment with HN001 during pregnancy may reduce the risk of development of gestational diabetes, especially in women over the age of 35 years and those who previously had the condition.

4. Probiotics helps to prevent occurrence of bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a type of vaginal inflammation caused by the overgrowth of bacteria naturally found in the vagina, which upsets the natural balance. BV can increase your risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, that can increase your risk for infertility (not being able to get pregnant). Besides the gut, the vaginal microbiome is important for a healthy pregnancy as well.

An unhealthy vaginal microbiome can contribute to vaginal infections during pregnancy. Having BV during pregnancy can increase your baby’s risk for premature birth and low birthweight.

5. Probiotics helps to prevent allergic conditions

such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, asthma, etc for your baby. Eczema is a chronic skin condition that can cause itchiness and skin inflammation. Up to 30% of children with eczema get eczema within the first 15 months of life. Studies show mothers who increase their probiotic intake during pregnancy can reduce their child’s risk of allergies by as much as 50 percent and specifically in eczema, asthma and atopic dermatitis.

The World Allergy Organization recommends probiotic use in those who are pregnant and infants with a family history of allergic disease.

Studies have shown that a baby has a reduced risk of developing allergic symptoms when the woman takes probiotics. 

6. Lactoferrin can help to improve iron deficiency early in pregnancy

This can happen without the side effect of nausea, constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort that is normally experienced with iron supplements.

7. Lactoferrin helps regulate how well iron is absorbed into the body

This absorption is from the intestine and protect against infections from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The lactoferrin in breastmilk is thought to help protect breast-fed infants against infections. People commonly use lactoferrin for low iron levels during pregnancy and for preventing blood infections (sepsis) in premature infants.

8. Lactoferrin is also used for stimulating the immune system

It can also be used for diarrhea, common cold, stimulating the immune system, preventing tissue damage related to aging, promoting healthy intestinal bacteria and regulating the way the body processes
iron.
