To make taking ‘For pregnancy’ capsules as easy as possible, we recommend tilting the head forward to swallow the capsule. Details below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen swallowing tablets, it’s common to put the tablet in your mouth, drink some water and knock the head back to swallow it (i.e. look up before swallowing). Doing this uses the weight of the tablet to move it to the back of the throat and makes it easier to swallow successfully\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a capsule, however, this won’t work because of the air in the capsule. Instead, while the capsule and water are in the mouth, we recommend to look down before swallowing. This will buoy the capsule to the top of the water (back of the throat) and make it easier to swallow, particularly if morning sickness and\/or nausea are a problem for the individual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage\u003cbr\u003e\nLike the rest of the OptiBac range, 'For pregnancy' does not require refrigeration. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety\u003cbr\u003e\nLive cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep out of reach and sight of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLive cultures: Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001, Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14®, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019\u003cbr\u003e\nCorn starch\u003cbr\u003e\nVegetarian capsule: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose\u003cbr\u003e\nFructooligosaccharides (FOS 30mg)\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-caking agent: vegetable magnesium stearate\u003cbr\u003e\nCheck bottom of pack for Best Before date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the taxonomic updates advised by a global team of scientists and published in April 2020, a reclassification has been proposed for the rhamnosus species. The L. rhamnosus strain in 'For pregnancy' may therefore now also be known as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Optibac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61740381372746,"sku":"HFOPTFPR","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/8537\/5818\/files\/HFOPTFPR-optibac-probiotics-for-pregnancy-30-capsules1.jpg?v=1782855715","url":"https:\/\/www.baldwins.co.uk\/products\/optibac-probiotics-for-pregnancy-30-capsules","provider":"G.
