Gravidon A, 30 Tablets, Mother and Child Health During and After Pregnancy

As the level of specific hormones increases, from the first to the third trimester of pregnancy, the intestinal microbiome also changes. Such changes in the composition of the microbiome cause intestinal inflammation, changes in their permeability and changes in the use of sugars and fats from food, resulting in an increase in adipose tissue and blood glucose. If pancreatic cells are unable to secrete enough insulin, and in response to a rise in blood sugar levels, gestational diabetes can gradually develop, most commonly between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy.

Pregnant women with overweight have a greater tendency to develop gestational diabetes, those who already have someone with diabetes in the family or who have given birth to a child with over 4 kg of body weight in a previous pregnancy.

Application of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus HN001: regulates intestinal resorption, has a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism and reduces inflammation in the intestines, and thus reduces the tendency to develop gestational diabetes and obesity.

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is one of the most common skin diseases in children. It usually occurs between the second and sixth month of life, and most develop the disease by the fifth year of life. It can be a condition that accompanies a person throughout life. The skin is red, dry, itchy and flaky. It occurs less frequently as wetting, bleeding, and scab formation. These symptoms can be quite unpleasant for children and cause concern for parents.

Children whose parents (mother or father) suffer from allergies (dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma) have a greater tendency to develop atopic dermatitis.

The use of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus HN001: helps to establish a balanced immune system and balances the cellular immune response, thus reducing the possibility of atopic dermatitis in children.

Postpartum depression

Many new moms face ‘mixed’ feelings after giving birth. They feel moody, depressed, irritable, crying and worried. These feelings are considered normal to some extent and usually last from a few days to two weeks. If the symptoms are intense and last longer, postpartum depression may be suspected, a condition that requires professional help. It is characterized by insomnia, mood swings, changes in appetite, intense sadness, decreased interest, and even suicidal thoughts.

Women who have been depressed or anxious during pregnancy have a greater tendency to develop postpartum depression, have a history of depressive episodes before pregnancy, and have recently experienced significant stress.

Studies have shown that pregnant women taking Lactobacillus Rhamnosus HN001 were significantly less depressed and nervous in the postpartum period.
