HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pregnancy Care Probiotic 10 Billion Cells by Flora

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Pregnancy Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (65.50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 and Lactobacillus helveticus R0052, both live probiotic bacteria strains. They're delivered in a capsule with several inactive ingredients including potato starch, cellulose, magnesium stearate, and others that help form and preserve the capsule.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promote healthy gut and vaginal flora in pregnancy.
  • We looked for evidence on: Vaginal health, Gut microbiome, Pregnancy-related digestive health, Postpartum recovery.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for Lactobacillus helveticus hasn't been reliably established in our data. We have insufficient evidence to rate it for hay fever, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, cognitive function, depression, rotaviral diarrhea, and exercise-induced respiratory infections.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Helveticus

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lactobacillus helveticus is generally well tolerated in healthy people. However, the safety data is limited.

If you're seriously ill, immunocompromised, or pregnant or nursing, you'll want to talk with your doctor before starting — we don't have enough reliable safety information to guide you on your own. There's a theoretical concern that live probiotic organisms might cause infection in some patients, particularly those with weakened immunity, though this is uncommon.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Helveticus

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Helveticus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 182 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antibiotics, you'll want to separate the timing of your doses from this probiotic — the antibiotic can reduce how well the live bacteria work. No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check, but we have no data for one of the two bacterial strains.

Formula

The Flora advantage- Flora's line of shelf-stable probiotics was professionally formulated to provide you with maximum benefit and efficacy. Each strain used goes through an extensive probiotic characterization process, ensuring that it is resistant to gastric acid and bile, able to compete with other bacteria, is absent of antibiotic-resistant genes, and is able to effectively co-culture with human cells. Each probiotic strain used makes a distinct contribution to support gastrointestinal health.

10 billion cells at time of manufacture

Pregnancy is an exciting time that demands a lot from your body. This is why Flora created Pregnancy Care Probiotic...a probiotic designed specifically to support favorable gut and vaginal flora in women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Clinically proven, Pregnancy Care Probiotic can help promote healthy gut & vaginal flora in women who've experienced a cesarean section under antibiotic therapy, and supports the management of potential antibiotic-associated diarrhea during this period. It is important to take care of yourself and your baby, and taking Pregnancy Care Probiotic during your pregnancy and while nursing helps ensure you maintain favorable gut and vaginal microbiota.

Minimum of 10 billion total viable cells per capsule at time of manufacture. (Minimum 2 billion viable cells per capsule at printed two-year expiration date.)

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus helveticus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. helveticus.
Lactobacillus helveticus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. helveticus preparations by at least two hours.
