Im currently 5 weeks pregnant. is it okay to continue taking probiotic supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some caution: Probiotics do not appear to pose any safety concerns for pregnant women. However because there are many types of probiotics & there is limited research, probiotics can't be declared safe completely. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) & the National Institute of Health (NIH), probiotics are "probably" safe. I therefore suggest some caution.
