We often hear that “you are what you eat,” but when it comes to pregnancy, science is revealing something even more profound: your baby may be what you digest too.

Recent studies, including Singapore’s very own GUSTO (Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes) project by A*STAR, have shown that a mother’s gut microbiome plays a crucial role in shaping her baby’s health — even before birth. Beyond just birth method or breastfeeding, a baby’s gut bacteria is directly influenced by the mother’s own microbiome, diet, and health background.

This growing body of evidence is making waves in the field of maternal and infant wellness, yet the marketplace has been slow to adapt. Many probiotics on the market are still designed for the general population — often with high CFU counts and unnecessary additives that may not be suitable for pregnant women or young children.

A Gentler, Smarter Approach to Gut Health

That’s where OOMMI’s Pre+Probiotics + Multivitamins (PREPRO) steps in — with a formula crafted to support both mother and child through a more holistic and gentle approach.

Unlike traditional high-potency probiotics that can sometimes overwhelm the digestive system or interfere with other medications, PREPRO is a low-dose, powdered daily supplement. It’s intentionally designed to complement a gynaecologist’s recommendations, not compete with them.

Each sachet contains:

5 billion CFU of probiotics – a safe, gentle dose suitable for children 1+, pregnant, and breastfeeding women
Prebiotics (inulin) – to feed beneficial bacteria and improve gut flora
Multivitamins A–E, including B1 to B12 – to support immunity, cognition, and overall vitality

And the best part? It’s sugar-free, dairy-free, preservative-free, and sweetened naturally with stevia and real strawberry juice — making it a tasty, safe choice even for picky little eaters.

From Digestion to Emotion: The Gut-Brain Axis

Your gut does more than digest food. It’s central to your immune system and even your mood. In fact, scientists have coined the term “gut-brain axis” to describe the link between gut health and mental wellbeing.

OOMMI’s formula embraces this science, offering support for not just digestion, but mood regulation, skin health, and cognitive function — all in a convenient, shelf-stable sachet that doesn’t require refrigeration.

Family-Friendly, Science-Led

Rooted in Japanese innovation and adapted for Singaporean families, OOMMI’s philosophy is simple: create clean, effective supplements that integrate effortlessly into daily life. Their Pre+Probiotics + Multivitamins formula is a reflection of this commitment — minimal ingredients, maximum benefit.

As Director James Thong puts it, “We believe less is more. For sensitive tummies, especially during pregnancy, a clean and balanced supplement can go a long way.”
