The Pro-Flora choice is a combination of six (rather than just two bacteria as in the regular pearls) for deep regeneration of the flora.

This is a comprehensive supplement designed to meet a woman's extra nutritional requirements during pregnancy and lactation. It is hypoallergenic and exceptionally well-tolerated. Recommendations are to take 4 capsules twice daily with meals and the container contains 240 capsules so this works out to be a month supply.
The numbers look pretty good except for the vitamin D levels. It only has 100 IU per 4 capsules. The RDA is 400 IU/day but the newest research is showing quite a different need. Canada has put it's pregnant women on 5000 IU/day so you may want to do your own research on this one - Dr. Cannell is one of the leading authorities in this field!

M. & B.-A (Mother & Baby) is a natural herb blend that has proven to make a difference for mothers who want to breast feed their babies. It has been used successfully by many mothers to:
Enrich and increase their milk supply
Feed a baby that is just learning to nurse
Help an infant gain necessary weight
Produce milk for a premature infant
Nurse multiples or an adopted baby
Help a mother to relactate
Provide a buffer when a mother is returning to work or school
Promote flow when a mother's milk is slow to come in

M. & B.-A is a highly effective herbal blend which has proven to be of great help to nursing mothers, formulated by U.S. practiced master herbalist and mother, Amelia Schendel, RD, IBCLC, MH.

Marshmallow root promotes milk flow in nursing mothers. It is high in calcium and other minerals. It is an excellent wound healer and reduces inflammation.
Blessed thistle increases milk flow. It is especially beneficial when mother's milk is slow in coming in. It speeds up the milk ejection reflex. This comes in very handy when helping a baby breastfeed who has become accustomed to a bottle and wants a quick reward.
Fennel is a lactation stimulant, increases fat content of milk, helps with digestion, reduces gas, and historically helps colicky babies.
Plantation is very rich in nutrients, enriches mother's milk, and boosts the mother's immune system.
Fenugreek stimulates milk production for nursing mothers. It gives tone to the uterus. From Egypt to India, this herb has been used to increase milk production, and relieve ailments of the mucus membranes. Other research shows that the seeds have galactagogue effects due to lactation factors in the fatty acids.
Universal emotional remedy with gorse (vervain, wild grape, mustard, scleranthus, chicory, willow, crab apple, honeysuckle, and gorse) is composed of rarefied plant and wild flower essences. It is very helpful for mothers in alleviating stress, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. Because of the rarefied nature of these wildflower and plant essences, there is no need to fear an allergic reaction or addiction, and may therefore be freely used by adults and child alike.
Suggested use: To enrich a mother's milk supply, take 20-40 drops 3 times a day. To increase a mother's milk supply, take one teaspoonful 3-4 times in a 24-hour period before meals. Increase or decrease the amount of M. & B.-A as needed. Best results are achieved when taken every six hours at the same time every day. Note: If a mother is sensitive to alcohol, she may place the herbal dose in water overnight to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

A wonderful dairy-free blend of microflora specially selected for children. Bifdobacterium and Lactobacillus species are delivered in a vegetarian easy-to-use powder form that can be mixed with beverages or semi-solid food. Each individual bacterium is coated with the unique protein matrix in a base of FOS.

When antibiotics are used, many practitioners forget the second part of the equation, the probiotic that is needed to re-establish the flora (the good bacteria in the intestinal lining). Yeast/Thrush tends to get out of hand after the use of antibiotics and this can help prevent it's overgrowth. This may also be helpful when there is excessive gas or diarrhea to settle and balance the system again.

A mild, soothing combination of enzymes (including Chymotrypsin), herbs and concentrated Aloe vera, for every day use.

This blend begins with NF's PhytoZyme AG. Physicians developed this unique plant based digestive formula to provide a wide range of enzymatic activity for a variety of applications. Without enzymes nothing happens in digestion and with our cooked and processed diets the enzymes are depleted drastically. Enzyme therapy is a term we will be hearing more and more coming from the reasearch labs. Adding a little extra help can mean a whole new level of absorbing what we are eating. Women with heartburn in pregnancy don't need their stomach acid neutralized as some common preparations do because then the body has to work extra hard to make more because the food still needs to be digested. It makes more sense to eat smaller meals and help the body digest it quickly by adding more enzymes so it can be out of the stomach faster and not cause heartburn! PhytoZyme includes the enzyme Alpha-galactosidase. Enzymes are delivered in a base of supportive botanicals, including the herbal bitter Gentian and Ginger. Also contains Spectra Probiotic, NF's combination of 8 highly viable strains of microflora.

In addition to the above mentioned, PhytoZyme Plus includes the addition of: Slipper Elm bark (Ulmus rubra)..50 mg; Betaine HCI..50 mg; Papain..25 mg; Pepsin..25 mg; Papaya fruit (Cariaca papaya)..25 MG; Aloe vera leaves 200:1 extract..10 mg; Bromelain 2400 gdu/3600 mcu..10mg; Trypsin..5 mg; Chymotrypsin..0.25 mg

NF's Spectra Probiotic provides eight specially selected strains of microflora. Each capsule contains billions of bacteria in NF's unique protein matrix coating. This coating protects each of the individual bacteria from harsh stomach acids and digestive juices so it can get to the intestines where it was intended to go. When antibiotics are used many practitioners forget the second half of the equation and leave out the probiotics that help re-establish the good bacteria that were killed off with the bad. Without a Probiotic many women find that yeast proliferate beyond control and can lead to sore nipples, intra-ductal inflammation and possibly mastitis. Truly an ounce of prevention here is worth well over a pound of cure!
