Pregnancy, Constipation & Gut Health: How to Support Your Microbiome Naturally

Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation — physically, emotionally, and biologically. But with all the amazing changes comes a few unwelcome symptoms, and digestive discomfort is one of the most common. If you're experiencing bloating, sluggish digestion or pregnancy-related constipation, you're not alone — and nature has a gentle solution.

At Zeally Herbs, we’re passionate about nurturing the gut with clean, plant-based ingredients. And when it comes to supporting regularity and gut health during pregnancy, our Biotic Powder, made from 100% green banana starch, is a simple and powerful tool.

Why Gut Health Matters During Pregnancy

Your gut microbiome plays a huge role in your overall wellbeing — especially during pregnancy. It affects:

Digestion and nutrient absorption
Immune function (for you and your baby)
Mood regulation via the gut-brain axis
And even the initial development of your baby’s microbiome — which begins in utero and continues during birth and breastfeeding

A well-balanced microbiome helps reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and support the natural changes in your digestion as your body grows a baby.

Constipation in Pregnancy: Why It Happens

Constipation affects up to 50% of pregnant people, often due to:

Increased progesterone levels relaxing your intestinal muscles
Pressure from a growing uterus on the digestive tract
Prenatal supplements (especially iron) slowing motility
Reduced physical activity or hydration

It’s uncomfortable — but thankfully, there’s a gentle and natural way to help things move along.

How Zeally Herbs Biotic Powder Can Help

Our Biotic Powder is made from 100% green banana starch, a rich, wholefood source of resistant starch — a special type of prebiotic fibre.

Why Resistant Starch Supports Pregnancy Digestion:

Feeds beneficial gut bacteria to support microbiome balance
Increases stool bulk and helps regulate bowel movements
Supports healthy blood sugar levels
Gentle on the gut — no harsh laxatives or stimulants

Unlike synthetic fiber powders or chemical laxatives, Biotic Powder is a single-ingredient food that works with your body, not against it. Add it daily to smoothies, oats, yogurt or juice — and let nature support you from the inside out.

Not the Time for a Cleanse

Many of our customers love using our Parasite Cleanse to reset their gut and eliminate unwanted organisms. However, this product is not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pregnancy is not a time for detoxing — it’s a time to nourish and build. Instead of cleansing, we encourage expectant mums to focus on fostering microbial diversity and digestive balance, which lays the foundation for your baby’s long-term health.

Emerging research shows that your microbiome influences your baby’s own gut bacteria — especially during vaginal birth and breastfeeding. A healthy maternal gut may:

Reduce the risk of allergies and eczema
Support a strong developing immune system
Lay the groundwork for better digestion and metabolic health

So, nurturing your gut now isn’t just for your benefit — it’s an early investment in your baby’s wellbeing.

Simple. Gentle. Wholefood.

Zeally Herbs Biotic Powder is:

100% green banana starch
Gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO
Easy to use and incorporate daily — add to smoothies, porridge, cereal or baked goods.
Pregnancy-safe and gut-friendly

Start with 1 tsp daily and work up to 1 tbsp, always with plenty of water.

In Summary

Pregnancy is a powerful season of change — and your gut plays a bigger role than you might think. By using a gentle, plant-based prebiotic like Zeally Herbs Biotic Powder, you can ease digestive discomfort, support healthy elimination, and build a balanced microbiome for both you and your baby.

Your body is doing something extraordinary — let’s support it from within.
